This is the first and last time this year that I've gone fishing, so at $60.00 dollars for a fishing license, I figger I'm entitled. <br /><br />If the game warden had arrested me I would have never bought another fishing license, that would have taught them!Ernie Branscombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06391160783604462511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-39386641968166885172011-12-27T20:54:09.159-08:002011-12-27T20:54:09.159-08:00Well...Oregon, A five gallon bucket, just a little...Well...Oregon, A five gallon bucket, just a little less than full, weighs twenty-five pounds. So a bucket one third full would weigh ten pounds. So that counts as a measure. <br /><br />Plus I have been lifting freon drums onto scales my whole life, and you know how I am, everything is a game. That's why your dad always got mad at us while we were loading the ice cream freezer. Remember when he used to get mad at us and say "this isn't recreation, this is work. If you are having fun you're not working, you are playing." <br /><br />Well I still play, I can't resist guessing the weight before I put something on the scale. I should have the bureau of weights and measures put a frickin' seal stamp on my forehead, I'm that good!<br /><br />Then when all that fails, I have a $300.00 dollar electronic scale in the compartment on the side of my truck. I know that doesn't count because you are supposed to have it in possession. So... when did you get legal?Ernie Branscombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06391160783604462511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-29105266344610491662011-12-27T12:07:51.218-08:002011-12-27T12:07:51.218-08:00How did you know you had nine pounds without a sca...How did you know you had nine pounds without a scale?

I poured a little of it in the bottom of my steaming pot, then dumped the mussels in after cleaning the shells. As soon as they opened good I drained them and set the pot on the table.<br /><br />I fixed some drawn butter with lemon, and had some butter with garlic. Somebody told me to try Honey Mustard salad dressing on them, but I couldn't get past the butter sauces. <br /><br />They were soon gone. I was left wanting more, so I checked the tide books, but alas... no more tides this year.Ernie Branscombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06391160783604462511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-16000072189833305192011-12-26T23:14:40.845-08:002011-12-26T23:14:40.845-08:00ARE YOU GOING TO PICKEL THEM CHARLIE TWO CROW...ARE YOU GOING TO PICKEL THEM CHARLIE TWO CROWSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-92151024506527711642011-12-26T22:14:11.809-08:002011-12-26T22:14:11.809-08:00great story ernie. thinking about risking my life...great story ernie. thinking about risking my life in the ocean as well today. how many times i was in a rip in some waves counting on that one that would bring me closer to shore. a bit more scary to be in a live ocean like yours up there.spyrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03685726716755909658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-58660826685368448232011-12-26T15:00:53.950-08:002011-12-26T15:00:53.950-08:00I enjoyed your story!I enjoyed your story!Jennifer Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05354196343017006168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-72733961104295155672011-12-26T12:08:08.339-08:002011-12-26T12:08:08.339-08:00Wow!
