@biglar155 Is that a crayfish? You are still in Wisconsin, right? That looks like something from the coast of Louisiana.

Yes Sir! After further review, I believe it to be a "Red Swamp Crayfish." Apparently they are considered an invasive species here in WI and in Michigan. They displace all the other species of crayfish.

The site said the DNR wants to know about them if you find them so, for S&G, I filed a report with the Wisconsin DNR. They link you to an e-mail (to which I sent pictures, date, location, etc). That e-mail came back with an automatic reply that the person was in "Field Season" this time of year and has limited access to e-mail.

Ah well. I tried.

To follow up: Actually heard back from the DNR thanking me for the report!

I called them Crawdads as a kid. ;) Flip a stone in a brook around here.

My water site while camping last weekend.
I bought, brought, set up, stored and took back every product in the picture, possibly for the last time since my Son will be away at college soon (when the college opens back up for in person instruction).

I purchased my 2006 FX HO Waverunner in 2010, I am it’s second owner. Last weekend a guest/relative flipped it over and took it out of commission for the day. When I went to restart it at home on the trailer, this came out of the engine compartment. I have not had one of these in over 30 years so it must be from the first owner. I don’t even know if this beer is still being produced. Unfortunately no message or money was in the bottle, at least the guy wasn’t a litter bug.

I don't know how this happened, I would have thought you've been all over that ski with a fine tooth comb ?? What other treasures are lurking down there ?

I was about to post a picture of a bikini top and make a reference to having justify to your wife it also must have been from the "previous" owner but after one google search for a picture to attach I quickly realized it was deep water I was getting into and no humorous antidote was going to get me out of it.

San Quinton California State Prison in Marin County, in view of the Golden Gate Bridge. It even has its own freeway on and off ramps. Some of the most expensive land in the state and the United States, how ironic considering who resides there and why.

Just some random shots of things I saw while kayaking in the Napa County (aka wine country).

Look what my wife did for me.😍 She set up her VPN hot spot, can I say that here? Watching the Bruins/Caps game from the Blueberry field on NBCSN.

Mickey big mouths. I remember those from college. I think they are from the Pennsylvania area. Wiki says they are originally from Indiana and now owned by miller

Enjoying what could be our biggest crop in 10+ years. Surpassed last years total last week. It is too bad shipping is so expensive, or I'd share with y'all. About a week+ left in the season then back to boats.

Today was an interesting day. After having my car down for a massive upgrade for 6 months, I finally got it completed and tuned today, then my daughter falls and breaks her elbow. My 39th birthday is today and her 4th bday is Monday. Happy bday us. Good thing is she is super pumped the hot rod is done.

worst part is she can swim but no beach. Last pick is about a year old but we love the beach in the boat or the Vette.

Fortunately I remembered to pull this chalk before I moved the jet skis around today.
