Fishing with kids tips?

I’ve got three kids. 7 year old and twin 4 year olds. We took them fishing last weekend and everyone caught a bluegill, except me. I was constantly tying on new hooks and bobbers, hooking on worms, untangling line, unhooking fish, etc.

I’m happy to do all that until my kids can learn to do it themselves, but that also means I won’t be fishing for a few years!

How can I streamline the fishing process with three kids? I need to practice knot tying. Maybe I should make some pre-rigged leaders? I’m going to try taking the reels off their poles and giving each one 3-4 feet of line with a hook.

Kim’s Earrings? Any meaning?

Maybe I’m reading into things too much but Kim has a set of triangle/pyramid earrings. It kinda seems like she wears them when she’s doing something risky, but I can’t say for sure if that’s been happening or not.

Anyone else notice that?

Cleaning pee from tile and grout in bathroom?

A guests kid peed all over our toilets and on the bathroom floor. Several times over the course of a week. What is the best way to remove pee from tile and grout? I recently bought a Dupray Steam Cleaner. Will that take care of it or should I use some kind of chemical cleaner? Thanks!

Towing a Tent Trailer?

My family is thinking of a road trip next summer. We are thinking of getting a small tent trailer. A small one around 1000 pounds.

Does anyone tow a tent trailer? What kind of mpg are you getting?

Fruit of the Loom theory

I was thinking about the recent Cornucopia post and I had a thought. We all probably had a coloring sheet like the picture I found and we all probably colored it in school. We also probably had fruit of the loom clothes and had the colors from the logo stored in our brain. So we probably merged the two in school during thanksgiving.

I ask this in the kindest way, but is there Egyptology drama?

I have an average understand about Egypt and the pyramids and such. While they are fascinating, I don’t think too much about Egypt. Unless there’s a new documentary about something someone found, then I love it!

But it seems like every time I watch a documentary about Egypt, there’s a LOT of shade thrown at other archeologists, researchers, museums and even the Egyptian government? What is that all about!?

Maybe I’m reading into things too much, but I thought I’d ask if what I’m picking up is real.

Bicycle Frame Painting?

I’m considering fixing up an old bike and would like to get the frame painted. I have talked to a powder coating shop and they seem good to work with but I thought I’d ask if anyone in the area is painting bike frames. Thanks!

ULPT needed because It’s my turn to screw the man! But I don’t know how.

I am so tired of seeing all these millionaires and billionaires exploiting tax loopholes and somehow making money appear out of farts!

Do I need to buy goats and become a farm? Do I need to become a Clergy and start a church? Do I need to buy a yacht!?

But seriously. What are some legal tax exploits that I can do to save me and my family some money!?

I hate the mornings.

I have three kids. Twins (4 years old) that share a room and a 7 year old that has her own room. There is no way to separate the twins in our house.

Every morning, whoever wakes up first runs around the house and wakes everyone else up…at 5:30 or 6! I know everyone would sleep in later if they didn’t wake each other up.

My wife and I are so tired of being woken up unnecessarily an hour early.

Wake up lights don’t work for us. They are just ignored.

Asking our kids to go back to bed doesn’t work. They just start playing and fighting.

Yelling at them to go back to bed works for 15 minutes. Then they get out again.

Nobody stays in their room. They all play so loud.

Is there ANYTHING we can do!?

NBD - Dad Bike Edition

I needed a cruiser to ride with my kids around the neighborhood. I found this sweet Raleigh Retroglide Ultra for dirt cheap and all it needed was new tires and a cleanup.

It’s got a surprising light aluminum frame and a 7 speed internal hub! I love it!
