A new season is kicking on our door. Are you seeing the Signs, Are you ready? Whirlwind episode covering the latest news, as well as highlighting a poaching hunting story and a kayak fishing adventure that you need to know about. Plus the Rut is On, for Buffalo. Beware. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt with The Bend Radio Show & Podcast, your news outlet for the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Episode 199 Details Epic Struggle: Kayak Angler's 11-Mile Battle and Poacher's 24-Year Hunting Ban   Latest News: Outdoors & Western Living Marlin Tows Across Ocean Kayak Angler  Listen to this story - How far would you go?? In early August, California fisherman Kei Vang embarked on a fishing trip with two friends, targeting tuna off the coast of California. They were about six miles out when Vang hooked a massive striped marlin, leading to a dramatic five-hour battle.  The marlin towed Vang's 12-foot kayak approximately 11 miles over 5 hours time across the Pacific Ocean before the striped marlin began to tire, beginning to circle underneath the kayak. It was then the angler was able to grab the leader and finally able to get a good look at the billfish which was longer than his kayak, having him believe it to be 13 feet long and estimated to weigh around 200 pounds. He then managed to cut the line and release the fish. An Epic Struggle! Vang and his friends had to use GPS units mounted on their kayaks to map the distance the striped marlin had taken them, which totaled about 20 miles from shore. They were carrying extra batteries along with VHF radios and other safety gear. As night fell, realizing it would take hours to paddle back, they called a friend with a power boat who rescued them and towed their kayaks back. Vang said every kayak angler's dream is to catch a big fish and have a photo made of it holding it up next to their kayak… That wasn't possible with his Striped Marlin, who didn't get a photo with the marlin, considered having a replica mount made instead. FACEBOOK AIDES IN CATCHING POACHER In December 2023, photos of a famous nontypical Virginia buck, known as the "Hollywood Buck," posted on Facebook led to accusations against Virginia resident Jason Walters for poaching. Walters, who initially claimed to have killed the deer in Prince Edward County, was identified as having illegally hunted the buck and two other whitetails from Richmond, Virginia. Following a thorough investigation by the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR), Walters pled guilty to 20 wildlife violations. He was sentenced to six months in jail (with three months suspended), fined $2,500, and ordered to pay $11,000 in restitution. His hunting privileges were revoked for 100 years, but with 76 years suspended, leaving an effective ban of 24 years. Walters' accomplice was also found guilty and received a $1,250 fine, 30 days of house arrest, and a six-year suspension of his hunting privileges. The DWR emphasized that these penalties are among the harshest ever imposed and aim to deter future wildlife crimes. Investigations revealed that Walters had previously posted photos of the Hollywood Buck and other deer on Facebook, which were linked to the poaching incident. This case highlights the critical role of social media in wildlife law enforcement. Reference https://dwr.virginia.gov/media/press-release/dwr-statement-on-the-court-resolution-of-the-illegal-killing-of-three-deer-including-the-hollywood-buck/ https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/hollywood-cemetery-buck-poaching-investigation/ Alert! Bison, Buffalo The Rut Is On  For those heading to ANY United States park with Buffalo, Bison… Take this as "You've been warned"… The Yellowstone National Park rangers have a statement for everyone: The bison rut is in full swing. You may see mature males with their mouth open, tongue out and upper lips pulled back. This is how bull bison sniff pheromones and determine whether a female is ready to breed. Bulls will also display their dominance by bellowing, wallowing, and engaging in fights with other bulls. The winners earn the right to mate with receptive females. Bison are unpredictable and can run three times faster than humans. Use extra caution and give them additional space during this time. So let us add this, we hit on the topic last week; Please DO NOT become a Touron… A Tourist that is a Moron. A Touron. Don't Be That Guy.

Join us as Jack Skeels dives into the fascinating world of 'unmanagement' and redefines the role of managers in today's organizations. In this engaging conversation, Jack challenges traditional notions of control and instead, champions authority and empowerment. He introduces us to the four pivotal moments every manager should master: why, what, go, and grow. By clearly communicating the 'why' behind tasks, Jack argues that managers can ignite purpose and improve decision-making across their teams. He also underscores the power of giving teams control over their work, which can lead to a more collaborative and fruitful work environment.Throughout our discussion, Jack shares valuable insights on leveraging individual strengths and fostering autonomy among employees. He stresses the importance of self-assessment for managers and the benefits of soliciting team feedback through surveys to enhance productivity. Wrapping up, Jack advises against micromanagement, advocating instead for a workplace culture that's both positive and empowering.

1994's PCU, directed by Hart Bochner, tells the story of college life at the fictional Port Chester University, and represents "an exaggerated view of contemporary college life in the 90s" - according to the filmmakers. There are slobs, there are snobs, there is the specter of POLIITICAL CORRECTNESS and there is a little bit of skateboarding. The film features Jeremy Piven in his first lead role, a young Jon Favreau, David Spade, and George Clinton and the P-Funk All Stars.Kevin and Mike talk about the weird Jeremy Piven performance at the center of this movie, whether or not they liked this movie, the things the movie gets wrong, the things the move got right (P-Funk being awesome, basically), and the dawn of inline skating - and there's a brief side discussion of Kevin's college radio show. So grab the t-shirt of the band you're going to go see and BE THAT GUY on the latest pulse-pounding episode of GLEAMING THE TUBE! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: AI #60: Oh the Humanity, published by Zvi on April 18, 2024 on LessWrong. Many things this week did not go as planned. Humane AI premiered its AI pin. Reviewers noticed it was, at best, not ready. Devin turns out to have not been entirely forthright with its demos. OpenAI fired two employees who had been on its superalignment team, Leopold Aschenbrenner and Pavel Izmailov for allegedly leaking information, and also more troubliningly lost Daniel Kokotajlo, who expects AGI very soon, does not expect it to by default go well, and says he quit 'due to losing confidence that [OpenAI] would behave responsibly around the time of AGI.' That's not good. Nor is the Gab system prompt, although that is not a surprise. And several more. On the plus side, my 80,000 Hours podcast finally saw the light of day, and Ezra Klein had an excellent (although troubling) podcast with Dario Amodei. And we got the usual mix of incremental useful improvements and other nice touches. Table of Contents Introduction. Table of Contents. Language Models Offer Mundane Utility. Ask all your stupid questions. Language Models Don't Offer Mundane Utility. That won't stop social media. Oh the Humanity. It will, however, stop the Humane AI pin, at least for now.

Language Models Offer Mundane Utility The best use of LLMs continues to be 'ask stupid questions.' Ashwin Sharma: reading zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance changed the way I looked at the inner workings of my mind. It was like unlocking a secret level of a video game. what are you reading today? Tom Crean: Tried to read Zen… as a teenager and felt disoriented by it. I kept wondering who "Phaedrus" was. But I liked the general atmosphere of freedom. The philosophy went over my head. Now I'm reading Akenfield by Ronald Blythe. A portrait of a Suffolk Village in the 1960s. Ashwin Sharma: use GPT to help analyse the sections you're stuck on. Seriously, try it again and i promise you it'll be worth it. Joe Weisenthal: I've found this to be a great ChatGPT use case. Understanding terms in context while I'm reading. When I was a kid, my dad told me when reading to immediately stop and grab a dictionary every time I got to a word I didn't understand. Not really feasible. But AI solves this well. It's still a bit cumbersome, because with kindle or physical, no quick way to copy/paste a section into an AI or just ask the book what it means. But even with those hurdles, I've found the tools to be a great reading augment. Patrick McKenzie: It's surprisingly reliable to just point phone camera at screen and then ask questions about t...

This week I'm joined by Champions Tour Pro and member of the University of Texas Hall of Honor Bob Estes, Pittsburgh native and now Director of Golf at the Golf Club of Houston Adam Lockwood, Top Instructor and Host of The Golf Kingdom TV Show Rob Strano, and Champions Tour Pro and 1987 US Amateur Champion Billy Mayfair. This week I got all four guys to weigh in on the rollback of the golf ball. It is certainly the hot topic around the game and will have reverberations for years to come. In addition to that: Bob Estes talks about his Texas Longhorns run at the National Championship in college football. We also talk about this season on the Champions Tour, the great history of men's golf at Texas, and the complicated formula for players to qualify to play on the Champions Tour. Adam Lockwood is from just outside of my hometown of Pittsburgh. He had a very successful high school golf career at Apollo-Ridge which launched him to attend PennWest California and enter their Professional Golf Management program. We get into that, the internships he did around the New York City area, and now being the Director of Golf at the Golf Club of Houston, the former site of the Houston Open. Rob Strano is one of the Top Instructors in our game plus the Host of The Golf Kingdom TV Show which you can check out on Amazon Fire, Roku TV, Blab TV, and Rob's YouTube Channel. He shares his thoughts on the rumors of the day including an interesting idea for what could happen if Jon Rahm defects to LIV and Rory moves to England. We also get a playing from his Time To Build segment and a pointer on Don't Be That Guy. Billy Mayfair and his wife Tami are two outstanding people. I got to spend some time with them on the practice tee prior to the Mitsubishi Electric Classic in Atlanta. Billy went out and had his best tournament of the year that week, which I'm totally taking credit for. Along with that, Billy shares memories from his win at the 1987 US Amateur Championship, the pressure of being an Arizona State grad standing on the 16th tee at the Waste Management Open knowing the fans can't wait to boo or cheer you. We also learn one of the best parts of playing in the Greater Milwaukee Open which had nothing to do with the golf and what it feels like to have how much money you earned publicized every week.

Missy lives in Minnesota (“the land of 10,000 lakes).  Lake Girl started in 2002, in Detroit Lakes, MN.  The original founder, Peggy, founded the store and focused more on a wholesale business model.  About 5 years ago, another company, LakeShirts purchased the company and took the Lake Girl brand nationwide.  Molley comments that Lake Girl clothes are available in the ship store at the State Dock Marina on Lake Cumberland, where she and Chad boat.  She loves the quality and softness of the shirts and sweatshirts.  Missy mentions how these products last forever, but people keep buying them because of the quality. How Did Missy Get Involved in the Lake Life? Missy begins my letting listeners know that there's a lake everywhere you turn in Minnesota.  The state's nickname is, “The Land of 10,000 Lakes.”  The Lake Life lifestyle is embraced throughout both the summer and the winter.  During the warm months, people go boating and swimming.  During the cold months, people are right back out there, ice fishing and ice skating.  Missy admits she actually lives on a river, but that's perfect because Lake Girl also has a River Girl collection.  She tells a quick story about recently taking a friend kayaking on the river.  The experience helped her friend to get over her fear of the water and now, she's a River Girl.  It's part of the power a great experience on the water and the surrounding nature has to change a person's life.  Molley agrees.  As soon as she and Chad get back on the lake, those deep breaths of fresh air melt away the stress and helps them to rebalance their busy lives. Chad talks about how this podcast got its start.  They noticed there weren't a lot of podcasts focusing on lake boating, which is their passion.  It's something for people who enjoy being out on the water having fun.  There's a huge community out there and Lake Life with Molley and Chad is providing a way for people to connect, learn and just enjoy life in general.  It's a big family. Molley adds that Chad tries to work in a boat ramp story on as many episodes as possible.  That prompts Missy to admit that they spend time sitting back watching people try to put in or take out their boats, all the time.  If you'd like to hear some funny stories, check out the following episodes:  Don't Be That Guy!, Ramp Etiquette and Trailer Safety and Learn from Our Mistakes. Has Missy Always Been a River Girl? Molley asks Missy about this, noting that it gets really cold, really fast in Minnesota.  Missy agrees, but then describes the surreal experience of having an actual bonfire on the lake.  It's a wonderful advantage to having such cold weather.  Another great reason Missy enjoys the colder weather is because it brings the opportunity to simply stand there and breath in that cold, fresh air while on or around the water.  There's nothing like it.  Missy's also looking forward to bundling up and paddling down the river to look at all of the autumn foliage and the wonderful colors.  It's actually going to be here first time and she's taking the friend she mentioned earlier.  They can't wait! Missy grew up near the Mississippi river and it was always a place she loved because it allowed her to cleanse her mind.  Water has always been part of her life.  Ironically, it's how she returns to feeling “grounded.” There's a funny story about how Missy and her boyfriend got to enjoy a waterpark with a lazy river.  After that, she told him she wanted him to build one for her.  A week or so later, they found a house for sale on a slow-moving river.  Now, her boyfriend often asks, “How's this for a lazy river?” How Does Lake Girl Apparel Standout from the Competition? Missy starts by saying the Lake Girl is their brand and if you see clothing with that name, it came from them.  They work with a specialty designer so the looks and products are able to change frequently.  Currently, they launch roughly 4 different designs per month. They also have a Lake Baby brand.  It's part of their Impulse Kids collection, which includes Dockboy collection, in addition to the River Girl collection, mentioned earlier.  Missy returns to the important aspect of quality.  She's received tons of stories from customers who constantly wear the clothing, without wearing it out.  It's part of why, in her opinion, the Lake Girl brand enjoys so many repeat purchases from its loyal customer-base.  Many of these customers love to visit their wholesale locations to see what's new.  Here's a link to the store locator. Lake Girl Is About More than just Clothing Missy mentions that the brand's best-seller is their All-American brand caps.  These are a customer favorite, year after year.  Every lake girl has to have a hat on the lake. They've recently added drinkware and mugs.  And, if you're looking for more Lake Girl swag, check out the magnets and keychains.  After all, ever girl knows it's always about accessorizing, right? Missy also mentions their waterproof, tear-proof stickers.  They'll make it through the dishwasher.  They'll last on your car or take-along other surfaces. If you're decorating your she-shed with a Lake Girl theme, don't forget to pick up on of their signs and a bottle opener. What Inspired Missy to Add the Lake Girl Brand to Her Company? Missy's main company is LakeShirts.  Truthfully, it kind of fell into place.  The original Lake Girl warehouse was located across the street, so integrating the two made sense for the business, as well as the customers. Missy joined the LakeShirts company five years ago.  She brought a lot of retail experience.  Once the Lake Girl brand was added, it was a perfect fit for Missy (see what we did there?).  Lake Girl has really benefitted from the infrastructure and reach that LakeShirts had already established in the market. Do the Employees Enjoy the Lake Life? Every chance they get.  In fact, they just created a design, “Off the Clock, On the Dock!”  Missy things the initial inventory was sold out just from staff purchases, even before it made it to the website.  The company is full of lake enthusiasts who work and play together in their tight-knit community. There Really is a Detroit Lake The company is in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota.  Missy estimates they have 5-7 lakes within a 15-mile radius.  What's the Biggest Recreational Activity in their Area? Fishing is incredibly popular, because it can be done year-round.  People fish from the bank, wading near the shores, off boats and yes, through the ice. The boating season in the Detroit Lake area last about 3 months.  Missy admits you can stretch it to 4.5 months, if you're brave.  Speaking of brave, they also have a polar plunge tradition.  This is when people jump into the frigid water, during the winter.  There's a health benefit, but more importantly, they've turned it into a charity event.

Episode 28:  It's time for another episode of Lake Life with Molley and Chad! In today's episode, we're joined by our friends Fran, Rob and Adam to talk about Lake Cumberland, in Kentucky.  This is a continuation of our tour of lakes across Kentucky and Tennessee.  It's time for a deep dive into what makes this lake so special. Please note:  This conversation includes a few, random curse words.  We apologize if you find them offensive.  Additionally, we thought we'd let any parents with young kids know, before you begin playing the episode. Lake Cumberland Is a Special Place Molley and Chad are recording this episode at Grider Hill Marina.  Chad talks about why Lake Cumberland is her favorite place to go.  It's one of the prettiest lakes in Kentucky.  Although Molley and Adam agree that Dale Hollow is a close second.  Adam's been coming on the lake since 1985.  His buddy's parents had been coming to Grider Hill, since the early 1970s.  Adam bought a 1963 Marionette that took a lot of work to get running.  He talks about his experiences and why he really likes this lake.  He and his friends would come to the lake and ski all day and grill steaks in the evenings.  Fran and Rob have been coming to Lake Cumberland for the past 3 seasons.  They rode around with Adam a lot.  At the time, Fran and Rob had a pontoon.  They eventually purchased a 1986 Wellcraft St. Tropez, which was much better to sleep on compared to the pontoon. Chad asks Fran and Rob about their favorite areas on the lake.  They like 76 Falls.  It's close to Grider Hill Marina.  That's a plus for them because their Wellcraft doesn't have the power of other boats on the lake.  Rob comments about how much he enjoys the opportunity to go to sleep and wake up on the water.  It's worth the 3-hour drive. For Adam, even though it's a 5-6 hour drive to get to the lake, the serenity and ability to unwind is worth it.  However, the duration depends upon how many Walmarts or Dollar Generals he hits on the way.  Chad comments that it's a 2-hour drive, unless Molley's driving. Lake Cumberland Marinas and Campgrounds While this might not capture all of them, here's a good list of marinas:   Alligator 1 Alligator 2 (also known as Wolf Creek Marina ) Conley Bottom Lee's Ford ·      State Dock ·      Burnside ·      Somerset ·      Rowena ·      Grider Hill There are only 3 recognized campgrounds on Lake Cumberland: ·      Pulaski County Park ·      Lake Cumberland State Park ·      Conley Bottom Campground Favorite Activities at the Lake Adam talks about how much he loves to cook.  He always fixes nice meals.  One of his favorite recipes is Sausage Jalapeño Bombs, which he cooks right there on his boat.  The smell usually attracts other boaters for a quick sample.  Being able to share food and meals with friends is all part of what makes this so special for Adam. Molley talks about how Grider Hill Marina, build in the early 1950s, was one of the last family-owned docks on Lake Cumberland.  It was bought out a few years ago by a company called Safe Harbor.  There's a lot to do in and around the lake area.  One of Adam's favorite activities is to boat over to Cemetery Point at sunset.  There are many places people love to visit and explore on Lake Cumberland.  Having the chance to watch the sunset, while you're on the water is a terrific experience. What Other Lakes Have You Visited? Fran has visited Dale Hollow.  She and Rob have also been to Barren River Lake and Rough River Lake.  She's not a fan of boating on the river.  Adam comments you're either a river rat or a bathtub boater (lake boater).  It's Not All Fun and Games Adam and Rob talk about the time their engine stalled in some pretty deep water.  They were half-way back to their destination, and pretty far from shore.  The question was whether they should have tried to repair it or just toss out the anchor and anchor light.  The problem was the depth where they were at the time. In another incident, Adam had some boat trouble and ended up swimming the boat back.  They sometimes refer to him as Aquaman! Rob really enjoys the Grider Hills area, especially when he can get a few hours on the boat before everyone wakes up.  Places to Eat around Lake Cumberland During the conversation, a few places are mentioned. Fran mentions that Junction Station is a gas station restaurant that serves a pretty good breakfast.  The Eli Country Store is known for its cinnamon roll pancakes.  If you cross in to Tennessee, you can find a steakhouse.  It's only about 25 minutes from the marina.  Molley asks again about the boats the guests own.  Fran and Ron have the '86 Wellcraft St. Tropez.  Adam has a '73 Trojan Express Cruiser.  And at this point, the conversation goes off the rails for a bit. Choosing Lake Life for the Family If you decide to choose lake life is can bring the family closer together and create lasting memories.  There's definitely a sense of community at the lake.  There are events like the dock crawl where people get together for friendship and a little competition.  Fran explains that their children have grown up now.  Time at Lake Cumberland gives them the chance to unplug from the day-to-day world, reconnect to each other and to create new experiences together.  The group talks about when they begin to feel that sense of “we're going to the lake.”  You can feel the stress melting away.  Adam explains how the Lake Life actually chose him.  He hasn't turned back since. Chad tells a story about the time Rob and Fran's boat started to sink.  A clamp came off.  They didn't realize it until the marine assist boat was towing them back to the marina.  It definitely spoiled some of the joy of the trip. Chad explains how a guy with a jet ski basically took over the ramp, recently.  There are simply things you need to understand about launching and trailering your boat/PWC.  Check out the episode on Ramp Etiquette. More Fun Facts about Lake Cumberland The sunsets are beautiful.  The lake actually has more shoreline than FLORIDA.  (Yep, Google it).  The people really make this such a great place to visit.  This sense of community fosters a feeling of belonging and creates a support system that enhances the lake life experience. Chad comments that this sense of community is common to a lot lakes across the state.   However, there's always that one guys at the ramp.  Check out the episode titled, Don't Be That Guy! Molley notices that with the dock, the group really doesn't have to deal with the ramp.  Fran has a pop-up wagon they use to bring everything from the cars straight down to the boat.   That's a wrap for this episode.  We'd like to thank our friends Fran, Rob and Adam for guest hosting with us.  We hope you found it helpful, insightful and maybe a little entertaining.  Thanks for Listening!

We spend a lot of our lives being afraid to be the guy who says, "naw...I don't think I'll be there" or "it depends on who's going...I may or may not come". We or I for that matter never wanted to be that guy, but as I've gotten older it's more important than ever to "Be That Guy" because it's putting you first and looking out for you. That is important especially if you have made some major changes in life. Anyway, I talk about that here on this short episode which I hope you enjoy...thanks for listening!

Episode 24:  Welcome to Lake Life with Molley and Chad! In today's episode, our friends Jamie and Adam join us to discuss Nolin Lake in Kentucky.  It's also called Nolin River Lake.  Interesting Facts about Nolin Lake Nolin Lake spans parts of Hart, Grayson and Edmonson County, near Mammoth Cave National Park.  It's another man-made lake, like Barren River Lake. It covers roughly 5,700 acres.  There are several popular campgrounds near the lake.  They are Dog Creek Campground, Wax Campground and Moutardier Campground.  There's also Moutardier Resort and Marina.  The Nolin Lake State Park also features a primitive campground at Brier Creek (this may actually be a privately-owned campsite). Fishing on Nolin Noted for its blue-green water, Nolin River Lake is recognized as a top 5 Kentucky fishing lake for catfish, bass, crappie and walleye (or it could be white bass). Getting Their Start with Lake Life Adam started his lake life experience back in 1994-1995.  He bought his first fishing boat in 1996.  Jamie comments that they actually bought a 22' Crownline runabout, before they settled on a specific lake.  They visited several lakes with the kids.  The past year, they switched to a tri-toon pontoon boat. Chad comments about how pontoon boats have evolved over the years.  He was amazed at the prices some of them go for (i.e. $225,000).  Jamie and Adam add that boat prices have increased 30% over the past 3 years.  Molley says this could be the COVID-demand.  People wanted to get out, without being around a lot of people, so the interest in boats surged – resulting in a price surge. Molley describes her experience with early pontoons and how the public has begun to change how they look at the comfort and features offered by this class of boats.  It's a significantly easier ride, even if choppy water. The Decision to Buy a Home at Nolin Lake It was very convenient to drive to a lake that was close to home.  They already had friends at the lake.  Once they found a nice home for sale, they jumped on it.  When COVID hit, it was a terrific refuge.  Chad described how his family used their lake house all the time during the pandemic. What's a Lake Life Weekend Like? Jamie notes that her anxiety starts on Thursday night because she just wants to get there.  Adam heads down Friday morning with the kids.  Jamie arrives after work.  Adam starts the weekend with typical chores (e.g. cutting grass, filling up the gas tank, etc.).  Afterwards, he and the girls might head out on the water for a while.  Adam's excited about having the tri-toon this year, because he can simply tie it up to the dock, rather than having to mess with the trailer.  When Jamie arrives, she might go out on the water, but usually decides to start dinner for the family.  When they had their runabout, they each had their specific job when it came to trailering the boat.  Adam handled the truck and Jamie handled the boat.  Having well defined roles can save a ton of stress and frustration.  Chad and Molley explain why in Episode 1.  The pontoon is going to take a bit more finesse.  Adam and Jamie did some practice runs, when the lake wasn't real crowded. Molley and Chad have had their own “adventures” when it comes to trailering their tri-toon.  In Episode 8, they offer some great tips for ramp etiquette and trailer safety.  It takes good team work, practice and patience.  Although, Chad admits, he still has those moments. (You'll understand if you listen to this episode).  You might also want to check out Episode 7, “Don't Be THAT GUY!” Jamie explains that they have a neighborhood ramp that does make launching and trailering the boat a little easier and much more convenient.  The boat ramp is always a tricky place.  Molley's mom commented in Episode 14 that if people would just remember to show some common courtesy, things would go better for everyone.  At the ramp, it's all about situational awareness. Let's get back to the typical weekend topic.  Jamie describes Saturday morning.  Adam usually starts breakfast and they hit the dock.  They've learned to involved the kids with lunch and snack prep.  Jamie's primary job is to make sure everyone else has their stuff taken care of, that sunscreen is applied and that they don't forget trash bags.  This is a Pro-Tip! The girls like to go tubing.  Adam recommends doing this earlier in the day, in case there's a lot of boats on the water.  If you can get out early, it's a bit less crowded. What other Lakes Have They Visited in Kentucky? Adam has fished in most of them.  For pleasure boating, he's been on Nolin, Cumberland, Green, and Dale Hollow.  Jamie grew up going to Green River Lake in Campbellsville.  She briefly discussed the difference between going in an RV verses having a home at the lake. Even their dogs get excited when they figure out everyone is heading to the lake for the weekend. Back to the Saturday schedule.  Once the tubing is done, they'll go find a cove with some friends and tie up for the day.  They'll try to watch the sunset and then it's time to head back to the lake house for dinner.  After dinner, they might decide to go visit with neighbors until it's time to head to bed. What Advice Would They Offer to Someone Considering the Lake Life? Adam points out that piloting your boat on the right-side, just like when you're driving actually is a thing.  Jamie comments that Lake Life can be a lot of work, but it's all worth it.  It's a financial commitment, and there's a risk of burnout if you're going to do it every weekend.  But again, it's worth it! If You Won the Lottery, What Boat Would You Buy? Jamie says she'd get a large Sea Ray or 28' Crownline to cruise in.  She'd want an open bow.  But in reality, she'd be just as happy owing a tiki hut on an island serving margaritas.  Adam says he'd buy a place in Florida and a 390 MTI.  What Advice Would You Offer to a New Boater? Adam says you have to have patience.  Don't worry about the boat.  Just enjoy the experienced.  Jamie comments about how much she enjoys spending quality time at the lake.  There are always great conversations.  It's brought them closer over the years.  Chad comments how no-signal on the cell phone often helps the kiddos to open up about what's actually going on in their lives.  Jamie also really values the sense of community at the lake.  Their little neighborhood is pretty close-knit.  Everyone keeps an eye on everyone – especially the when it comes to the kids.  It's a safe environment and everyone keeps an eye out for each other. Molley talks about how there's a specific spot on the trip down when it really hits her that she's at the lake.  The stress literally melts away. Nolin Lake was built for flood control.  This means the US Army Corps of Engineers drops the water level during the winter.  Adam adds this begins on October 15th.  Once that happens, you really shouldn't try to take larger craft out on the water.  The water level is increased, beginning on April 15th. Jamie talks about how her kids love to use low water levels to do some treasure hunting.  It's amazing how many anchors you can find and recover! In closing, Jamie recommends patience and caution.  You need to be aware of your surroundings.  She talks about how a storm quickly rolled in and the winds really made for some tense moments. Molley strongly recommends everyone having specific jobs to do.  If a crisis occurs or surprises happen, everyone knows what their responsibilities are.  It's a good life lesson for the kids. That's a wrap for this episode.  We'd like to thank our friends Jamie and Adam for guest hosting with us.  We hope you found it helpful, insightful and maybe a little entertaining.  EPISODE SPONSOR INFORMATION: We'd like to thank today's sponsor and encourage you to contact them for your insurance needs.

Embracing a Biblical Vision for Fatherhood - Don't Be That Guy by North Valley Church

Episode 22:  Welcome to Season 3 of Lake Life with Molley and Chad!  In this season, we're going to discuss various lakes and why people like specific lakes.  In today's episode, we interview Anna and Todd about Barren River Lake, in Kentucky.  Todd grew up on this lake. Barren River Lake Molley begins with some interesting facts.  Barren River Lake is in western Kentucky.  It occupies parts of Allen, Barren and Monroe Counties.  It's actually a man-made lake.  Todd adds that it reaches 10,000 acres at summer pool.  It was built for flood control.  The US Army Corp of Engineers can raise or lower the level of the lake in an attempt to reduce the amount of water that could cause flooding after a severe storm.  In mid-October, the water level begins to be reduced, after the spring and summer rains have moved on.  At winter pool, it's the water level is approximately 26' lower that during the summertime.  Marinas on Barren River Lake According to Todd, there are currently 3 marinas available to boaters and the general public.  Todd wasn't sure if Walnut Creek Marina was still open.  His favorite marina is The Narrows. Todd and Anna Discuss How They Started their Lake Life Journey Todd grew up in the area, but Anna didn't have this experience growing up.  Todd began getting into boating with friends and families when he was young.  The lake was full of some fun Sunday memories.  Todd and Anna got married in 2001.  Todd's dad gave them his boat, a 1988 Dyna-Trak Fish & Ski.  It was the first boat they owned as a couple.  Anna comments that this was a new experience for her.  Chad had a similar experience, because he didn't grow up around boating, either. Anna describes trying to learn to trailer the boat with Todd.  The process seemed a bit overwhelming.  Now, she lets Todd and his dad handle it.  In 2007, they decided to buy a pontoon, given some of the issues they had around trailering the boat.  They've been able to simply dock the boat to make things easier. Anna and Todd typically put the boat in the water around May and it stays there until October.  Once in a while, things don't work out.  That's when Todd mentions how they've learned to depend on the guys at the Barren River Boat Shop.  Todd's good at breaking things and they're good at fixing them! Scheduling Lake Time For Anna and Todd, it's usually weekends and sometimes a 3-day weekend.  If they can get down for an entire week, it's usually an entirely different experience.  Chad comments how Tuesdays and Wednesdays are terrific because there's hardly anyone else out on the water.  That's Anna's favorite time. Favorite Locations They like to go tubing in the Beaver Creek area.  Barren River Lake also has several no-ski areas.  Molley explains why these exist on Barren.  Certain areas aren't maintained, so there may be hazards, such as tree stumps and other items beneath the water.  These can pose a danger, so it's safer simply to designate them as no-ski zones. Molley and Chad have had some experiences in these areas and tell a brief story about how they've lost anchors.  By the way, they're looking for show sponsors, so if manufacture or sell anchors, here's your chance! Todd admits he's donated 2 anchors to the bottom of Barren River Lake. Family Activities on Barren Interestingly, Todd comments that they don't see a lot of skiers on the lake.  His son, Cole, likes to wakeboard, kneeboard and tube with friends.  Anna says Todd is always the driver when it comes to pulling tubers.  She enjoys riding more.  Todd refers to her as “The Admiral” because they don't drive.  As a Pro-Tip, they've learned to limit the number of tubing sessions in a given day.  They like early mornings and later in the afternoon, instead of going all day long The Current Boat Anna and Todd currently have a 22' Barletta tri-toon.  They still have their other boats and a couple of jet skis.  They built a lake house, which makes it much easier to have the boats and spend more time with them. Experiences on other Lakes in Kentucky Anna comments that they don't take their boats to other lakes.  However, she's been to Lake Cumberland, Lake Herrington (Harrodsburg area) and Norris Lake (Tennessee). Todd has been to most of the lakes in Kentucky, with the exception of some of the ones in eastern Kentucky.  He's been to Dale Hollow, Barkley, Kentucky Lake, Nolin, Green River Lake, Rough River Lake.  Growing up in Glasgow, Barren River Lake is home and he still has plenty of family there. Molley grew up on Barren River Lake.  She recounts how her family used to campo at Barren River State Park, near Walnut Creek.  This was there Labor Day Weekend lake. If You Won the Lottery, which Boat Would You Buy? Anna says they actually love their current boat.  Barren River Lake isn't a huge lake, so having a really big boat would be impractical.  He does like the “surf-type” boats.  Cole might enjoy surfing behind it.  They really like the tri-toon life.  Anna's partial to the big lounger seat.  Chad and Molley talk about their pontoon, which also has the big lounger seat.  It was the main reason they bought the pontoon. What's Something You Know Now, that You Wish You'd Known Earlier? Todd mentions how much he loves being able to dock the boat, instead of having to trailer it each time.  It's so much easier and less stressful.  Chad comments on his experiences on the ramp.  There's always “that guy.”  In fact, they did an entire episode called, “Don't Be That Guy!” Advice to New Boaters Anna explains that before they built their lake house, they used to have a slip at the State Dock.  They would either stay at the lodge, or rent a small cabin.  Her advice is to understand that lake life is a commitment.  There's a lot to it.  Todd agrees.  It can take up the time he might spend on other activities, but they really enjoy being on the water.  This is something to consider if your kids are into summer sports.  It's going to be a challenge to balance all of it. Todd mentions that their lake life has been through some transitions over the years.  They used to spend a lot more time on the lake, but their son has gotten involved in sports.  This has pushed them to make their time more impactful.  However, one of the fun things is having Cole and his friends come to the lake with them.  Anna recounts how they love being able to have guests down to the lake.  It's fun to see people enjoy new experiences.  Then again, she really enjoys those times when it's just the three of them.  Molley adds that there's a huge benefit to having the kids with them.  They usually don't have a good cell signal out there, so they're forced to do something else besides being glued to their phone screens.  It's amazing how many great conversations suddenly occur. Closing Comments about Barren River Lake Todd admits this particular area is a well-kept secret.  It's a smaller lake, but it's almost twice the size of Nolin, Green River Lake and others.  Glasgow is close and offers restaurants and other attractions.  Bowling Green is fairly close.  It's only a 1.5 hour road trip from Louisville.  Anna recommends catching a sunset near the dam.  It's worth it. Their favorite boat launch is Port Oliver.  It's fairly new and really wide.  His dad says it the best in Kentucky.  Todd comments the lunches at The Narrows Marina are terrific.  Get there early! That's a wrap for this episode.  We'd like to thank our friends Anna and Todd for guest hosting with us.  We hope you found it helpful, insightful and maybe a little entertaining.    EPISODE SPONSOR INFORMATION: We'd like to thank today's sponsor and encourage you to contact them for your insurance needs.  The Alan Hall Agency Website:  https://www.alanhallagency.com/ Phone Number:  (502) 345-9440 Thanks for Listening!
