I believe that the record profits are contributing to inflation. For instance, look at how you get goods. It is transported to you or to your store correct? You are physically getting it from it's source? How much does transportation cost? How much of that transportation cost is because of the high price of gas/diesel?
Transportation is a big part of the overhead of my business. For instance, If I have fish transported to me from Arkansas, the transportation company charges me $320 per 50 pounds of fish to bring it from there to here. How does that affect the price of the fish?
There are 33 bass minnows in a pound. Each bass minnow costs me roughly $0.40 - $0.45 each before any of my transportation costs or other overhead costs. That's $5.40/dozen just for getting the product to my holding facility. What were bass minnow prices 4 years ago at the bait shops?

So, the way I see it is I have 3 choices. 1) Stop deer hunting and consuming deer meat. 2) Don't shoot and consume a sick deer. 3) Keep on what I am doing now.
If the studies that I have read say that it was first discovered in Wyoming in 1967 in a captive deer herd, and in wild deer in 1981. How many hunters have died from it in those intervening 43 years? If you look at it statistically, how many deer and elk have been shot and consumed in those 43 years and how many cases are there in humans? You probably have better odds of winning the Powerball than contracting it.

GOA has a lawsuit against NY State now that could end up in the Supreme Court and that would open the door to nationwice CC.

Not having the correct offset could make the wheel touch a part of the suspension or frame when turning hard, or maybe even contact part of the brakes and not allow you to seat them fully on the hub.
I bought reconditioned wheels from a place in California for my Mom's new Subaru. They were $100-$150 each and matched what was on the car. They were used for mounting winter tires on so we just had to swap tires/rims.

When I was delivering fish West of Star City the owners grandson found enough to fill a 2 1/2 gallon zip loc bag. Yellows about 5"-6" tall.

I saw a bass on a bed. Bluegills will be spawning next month. Usually they spawn here in June. A whole month early, same for the bass.

Considering that unemployment is low, interest rates are reasonable, job creation is very high, wages are rising, corporate profits are setting records, and inflation is settling back, I will give you a one word answer. Neither. Come November, if it is still these two, my conscience will not let me vote for either. Trump is a sick, disgusting human being, and Biden belongs in a rest home. That's one thing that I cannot comprehend. If a person is a good leader for the country, I don't give a (4 letter word that begins in S) about what his personality is or WHAT he does in his personal life. All I care about the president keeping the bad guys at bay, gets a handle on the run away inflation, reverses the run away mortgage rates and reverses the insanity of the gas/diesel prices. Unemployment is low? That's because it is a statistic and you can make it say anything you want. Why come out with "historic" unemployment figures then 30 days later VERY quietly revise them up? Job creating was high 5 years ago too. If a person wants to talk about how many people were employed in the past 3 years you have to take away the people that lost their jobs or were laid off curing Covid. Wages are rising? Not at the rate that real world inflation is rising. Corporations are setting record profits at the expense of inflation. Interest rates reasonable? Maybe when you look at the interest rates in the 1980's and compare today's rates to them, but if you compare today's rates to 5 years ago they are 50% higher. New home starts are down 30-40 percent. Time on the market to sell a house is longer than it was back 5 years ago too. As long as I am on my soapbox, I wish that legislators could be personally sued for pushing laws that go against the constitution. They took an oath of office and they are not adhering to that oath. They should be held accountable for that and not just by a vote to keep them in office or out of office.

Safe travels!! If you scoot across on I-40 then up I-55 to I-57 stop at Boomland - they have the cheapest gas/diesel in the area and it's about 12 miles from crossing the big Muddy into Illinois. If you stop there, you have to go inside and look at the different "canned" (glass jars) goods and their hot sauce selection.
I was there yesterday. Left here at 3pm, got back home at 7:40 pm. the next day. 1360 miles.

I saw lilacs blooming about 80 miles South of here, that's when the bass are on the beds.
If you want to improve the genetics in the pond, those Bluegill that are really round looking? toss them back in. Keep yanking out the longer skinny ones. For instance, the two females in the lower picture of yours in the middle about 9:00. Smaller one is over the larger one.
I'll be at a customers pond in a month trying to catch a 13" Bluegill. He's got a bunch at 12" and Redear are 13". I think most of the 12" Bluegills are 2# or heavier. The Redear should be 2 1/2# or a bit heavier.

About 1/2 hr of fun once we found them. Two foot of water. Worms. Females full of eggs. Lost several. Dad’s first time out this year. Getting the rust knocked off still. The round one lower right 5:00 position is a hybrid cross between a bluegill and a redear sunfish.

A buddy said that when he lost his kayak seat he got a stadium seat at WalMart that fit. I'll take any suggestions I can get.
I have reserved seats at the track - it's not general seating. We have first row seats, about 80' - 100' past the x-mas tree. The only seats closer are the handicap wheelchair area that is below us.

A buddy just tried to sign up. Got put in 180 day time out because he didn't use his real name. It was close to his real name but not exact.

I'm looking for a stadium seat that fits on aluminum bleachers that are comfy and have a back rest.
Oh one other thing. They need to be able to be locked to the bleacher or at least made in a way that they can be locked to the bleacher with a cable lock. Or have a metal frame that I can weld tabs to and use a cable lock. Either steel or aluminum, I can weld either.
I will probably use them once a year, but I'm tired of by butt getting flat. I want to be able to get up and walk around and leave it there while I'm walking and I want it to still be there when I get back.
Any suggestions?

I would recommend buying the one that is at the top of that page because it has the square corner legs instead of the rounded post legs like the red one, it won't dig into the ground like the post legs. The wife and I have a pair of these that we take to at least 7-9 concerts in the park and we love them. They are extra wide firm seating and they are easy to get up out of. They don't wobble. Ours have a custom cup holder that allows you to set your phone in it so you can see it. They are a bit heavy but the comfort makes up for the extra weight. www.walmart.com/ip/Ozark-Trail-Oversized-Director-Chair-with-Side-Table-for-Outdoor-Adult-Green-Fabric/923443410?athbdg=L1600&from=/searchI believe I got ours at Wal-Mart I believe they are OZARK brand. Those are the ones that my customer has. I don't know what brand but they look identical. I'd say WalMart or Costco. VERY sturdy, comfy and easy to get out of.
