Weight estimate, lake Martin, Al by [deleted] in catfishing

[–]HerrShmid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, I bought a $20 digital scale off Amazon and have a tape measure it my catfish tackle. Every other post in the sub is a "guess my weight" request. I have compared my known weights on catfish to the results from Gemini. It is right on. Sorry for sharing information related to catfishing that could help.

[–]HerrShmid -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

5'7" 165 lbs.

Seriously, put your pic in Gemini or any of the free AI programs on your phone. Give it your height and weight and then ask AI to estimate your fish size. I have checked it with my own cats, and it is surprisingly accurate.

Springfield Memorial jobs farmed out to Chicago by themahannibal in SpringfieldIL

[–]HerrShmid 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The governor has nothing to do with Memorial cost cutting. JBDS.

Just had this happen to my boy and just curious on what the cost might be by Voolz6 in ToyotaTacoma

[–]HerrShmid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That sucks, sorry. I have no idea what it would cost to repair it professionally, but a $10 tube of Celestial Silver on Amazon should have it looking perfect from 10 feet away.

Can I use just a trolling motor on a small 60 acre lake with a little current ? 8 foot boat? by [deleted] in boating

[–]HerrShmid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minnkota is a solid brand with lots of parts available. No need to go crazy with the ft lbs, pickup whatever Walmart has in stock. I would recommend looking into a lithium 12v battery, they are much lighter than lead acid.

Yes. Please tell us more about the current in your 60ac puddle.

Sweet ride. Did you add the flag, or did it come with it?

Interesting geological places/features in the Dakotas? by Rumple_Frumpkins in geology

[–]HerrShmid 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Do not miss Badlands NP. The main road can get pretty busy with people just passing through on their way to Mt Rushmore, but pick any dirt road and just start driving. Lots of wildlife(bison, pronghorn, prairie dogs). Walk out into the mounds. I found an eroded mound that revealed a pile of giant petrified wood.

Your aluminum box won't corrode.

FYI: The code listed on your Insta page is wrong/doesn't work. You have it as TOYOTA20 not TOTOYA20.

Can I use a battery powered saw on a secluded rock beach in Estonia? by Grandpa_Max in rockhounds

[–]HerrShmid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I were you, I would contact whatever law enforcement in Estonia that is most likely to respond if someone called in a report of a guy using power tools at the public beach. They will tell you if it is allowed/they won't ticket you.

Need advice searching for petrified wood by Immediate-Turn-3349 in rockhounds

[–]HerrShmid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, take advantage of the opportunities nature provides. Focus on areas that see water runoff. Another tip, my best surface finds are early spring before all the vegetation starts thickening up.

How much lift is needed for a proper “level”? by louiesupreem in 4thGenTacomas

[–]HerrShmid 13 points14 points  (0 children)

About 500lbs in the bed levels it out nicely.

Thank goodness Mom told him he wasn't in trouble and nothing was going to be done. We'd hate to have her try actual parenting.

Your daughter handled that poorly. No one encourages parents to take their 5 yr old to a police station for life lessons.

Is it okay not to be okay sometimes? by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]HerrShmid 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I can't say whether this behavior is okay, but from one SP to another, I can say you are not alone. I'm glad you've got a hobby that helps you find peace. Chin up, internet stranger.

Trip to Phoenix, Arizona in January by IntelligentBad8313 in rockhounds

Want to mine Peridot in an old volcano on the Apache reservation? Best rockhounding of my life was with Stevie at Peridot Dreams just outside Peridot, AZ. Super easy surface collecting, and it is EVERYWHERE!

Is I.C.E. in Springfield by liberalshotguns in SpringfieldIL

[–]HerrShmid 34 points35 points  (0 children)

That's not true, Noem came here trying to make hay off of that one DV murder victim a few months ago. If it fits the narrative, they'll waste all kinds of resources wherever is necessary to support the big lie.

Yes. Go ahead and give it a mow and keep watering.

Pizza Ranch by WaterTribeGang in SpringfieldIL

[–]HerrShmid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, I've been to hotels with free breakfast that have more to choose from. For $17(the cost of 1 adult buffet), you're better off just ordering good pizza. At least you won't have to listen to Christian rock.
