From Jill Smith, Fluvanna County Says Jill: I always enjoy reading C’ville Buzz. Thank you for taking the time to write all those articles weekly. I’m sure some of that is quite a chore! You do a great job covering many areas of interest to many people. I read your article about finding a thistle feeder and, having tried those, I wanted to show you one that I think is the best … [Read more...]
Life On The Amazon
My hunting pants had met their match in a spirited contest with a blackberry thicket on the last day of rabbit season. There was big tear across the right front leg and a 12-inch rip in the back seat. Unfortunately, the rip in the seat had nothing to do with the blackberry thicket, but more to do with too many blackberry pie servings throughout the year. I not only tore my hunting pants, but I … [Read more...]
Making Great Bar-B-Que
Some of the best food on this planet is the simplest. Slow cooked pork, for example. Get a Boston Butt (pork shoulder), smother it in coarse pepper and Kosher salt, put some aluminum foil on top and cook it in a 285 oven until it falls apart – 8 hours or more. The longer you cook it, the better it gets. Pull the pork off in manageable portions and enjoy – it is plain and simply … [Read more...]
A Day To Remember
By Stephen Milandric On December 13, 2014 I caught the largest blue catfish of my life. I was fishing the mighty James River with two great friends, Neil Renouf of Old Dominion Outdoors and Gary Harmon of Radford. At approximately 1:23 p.m., I got hit powerfully hard! I reeled down fast with the rod still in the rod holder and it took less than a second to turn into stalemate … [Read more...]
Getting Ready To Hit Your Shot
By Daryl Daughtrey An old golf guru once told me that when your shots start going everywhere, other than where you want them to go, head to the practice tee and start subtracting. Subtract everything you have read about the golf swing, what you’ve been told or learned about the golf swing. What this guru meant was that a golfer must get back to the basics. As golfers, we only have … [Read more...]
South River Update
From Tommy Lawhorne Fishing has been steady on the South River with caddis and midges hatching most days. Lots of nice trout are being caught on the Catch and Release Area near Downtown Waynesboro. The Missing Link caddis dry and the amber Arlies' Gnarly Larva have been go to patterns. Above is a picture of Ian Hall with nice Rainbow from Downtown this week. Water levels continue … [Read more...]
Reach For The Sky
Since the introduction of moving pictures, and especially after television arrived, Americans have been fascinated with the Old West. For Boomers, western movies were a mainstay of entertainment. On the Big Screen, the “oater” films hit their stride in the 1950’s. The plot of almost every western was the same: The good guy in the white hat rides into town, shoots the bad guys and rides off into … [Read more...]
A New Golf Book
Dear Friends, Many of you may not realize it, but I've been very busy over the last few years planning my retirement, and putting my thoughts and ideas together into a book which I hope will carry me through it. I believe my new book on golf gives the reader valuable playing tips and insider information I've gained through my years of lessons, struggle, and experiment. I am very proud of … [Read more...]
Gardner’s BBQ
Three of my golfing buddies were headed to Myrtle Beach this week for a long weekend. I knew they would be traveling down I-95 and bypassing Rocky Mount. “Don’t go around Rocky Mount,” I advised. “Head for Gardner’s BBQ and go through their buffet. They have the best BBQ and soul food in North Carolina.” And they really do. Several years ago, Nancy and I were headed to Topsail Beach near … [Read more...]
Feeding The Finches
I am truly a doofus, as my wife constantly reminds me. But she’s right. Sometimes I think my brain is in the charging mode and not really plugged in. For example. A thistle sock I used last summer to feed finches was completely worn out, so it was off to Lowe’s for a replacement. Instead of buying another sock filled with thistle or nyjer seed, I bought a bag of finch food and a new, plastic … [Read more...]
