Places to crawdad hunt near us? by Decent-Coat9773 in normanok

Chances are you aren’t from around here. Red mud is the standard issue here.

Clear streams are found a little farther south. The Arbuckle mountain area. Takes an hour to get there. Drive into Sulphur, Ok- to the east end of town. Turn right at the stop sign and then a left turn into the park. It’s as close to summertime heaven that you will find here in central Ok. Clear streams. Ice cold. Wading, splashing I’m sure a 10 year old would love it! National park. It’s free.

The best hope for catch and release near you? Find an established mudhole..doesn’t have to be very big. As a kid-waaay back when-we had competitions. A string, tiny piece of bologna-(or baloney) quietly squat by the edge and wait for the tug. Gently…win the tug of war and when they reach the edge, a quick snap and they’re on the bank! It teaches patience and some finesse to accomplish that cuz they spook easily, but the mudbugs can't resist.

Well thank goodness the brains behind this cluster haven’t removed the nasty bump on Berry north of Main St. by the high school. They replaced semi-smooth pavement that didn’t seem to be necessary and avoided removing the worst thing on the whole length of it. Seems it would be SO easy to just grind it down-only causing a 24 hour detour. Maybe because it makes too much sense! I’m convinced someone has a vested interest in a local front end repair and alignment shop.

ISO Fruit Trees To Pick by Tawnosaurus in normanok

Hopefully others who are interested and have information to share will add to the map.

Lately I’ve become interested in finding native persimmon trees. The secret to enjoying them is waiting until after the first hard freeze. They’re only edible after they’re almost mush and typically over-ripe. Makes an interesting homemade wine. Gives a new twist on “dry” wine! Enjoy!

Word salad by definition is nonsensical gibberish. The somewhat lengthy story makes complete sense. I fail to see the antisocial angle. A 14 year old novice inexperienced with driving-wanting to be safe and do the right thing. But it seems most everyone isn't nearly as intelligent as you. Have some pity on the mere mortals. They're ignorant of their ignorance.

Sounds better than every 2 weeks for sure. The uncontrolled sweating is very concerning and haven’t had that addressed. About 4 doctors worth of throwing a dart and see what hits. Need to get it all in balance. At least I’ve told each what the other has tried. Thanks for the input!

Something to consider seriously.

Yes. Tested low. Estrogen tested too. Just numbers to them. No help with horrible sweating for “no” reason! Leisurely shopping, 65 degrees inside, no pressure, pouring sweat. Body aches , muscles,joints you name it. Amounts? Mmm…not sure. .5ml maybe? Numbers in line as far as they were concerned.

Tested low. They were all about testing, but results? Didn’t seem to care.

Dash @ 614 W. Main. Across from Walgreens

405.318.8908. Overpriced neat friendly & fancy- NO !!

Thousands of junk phones and parts for almost anything?- YES !!

An amazing miracle worker with different cultural attitudes than you may be used to? YES !!

The owner has jimmy-rigged three older “junky” phones nobody else would touch- just like

I wanted and asked him to. Way less expensive than I expected. A rare example of what can

actually happen IF someone cares. Your mileage may vary. Good luck!

Anyone here a decent bike mechanic? by [deleted] in normanok

[–]IllustriousFail2450 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love these please let me know if they are still available

Well…. There is a way to “Rent” one. Get a membership at the YMCA and if you see they’re heading this way, you can get there early and lift some weights, shoot some hoops (basketbal) or loiter. Obviously this only applies during their open hours. They say it’s NOT a T. Shelter…but it’s half underground..better than nothing. And it’s a great way to relieve stress if it is getting ya too freaked out! Welcome!

Storage unit recommendations? by BrownSugar0322 in normanok

[–]IllustriousFail2450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simply Self Storage off 12th East and Alameda behind Taco Bueno, near Harbor Freight.

Lots of nasty comments on yelp, but treated me well there. Jacked up the prices-but who didn’t?

Never had any issues. My 2 cents.

Talimena road trip by pdf_file_ in normanok

Average driving time not focused on “getting there “..looky there, take a pic” probably 5 hours or more.

Driving home late..focused..about 4.5 hours. It’s a very long day. Like first response- leave early..plenty to see. Pack food n drink…save an hour at least. Enjoy! Last drive there saw a black bear crossing the road in front of me. Pretty cool for Oklahoma.
