Be Weather Aware: Understand Tornado Season
Tornado season typically runs from spring to early summer in the United States, peaking in April, May, and June. During this time, atmospheric conditions are ripe for the formation of tornadoes, powerful rotating columns of air that can cause significant damage in their path.
Identifying Tornado Risks at Home
Create a Safety Plan: Designate a safe room in your home, preferably in a basement or an interior room on the lowest level without windows. Practice regular tornado drills with your family.
Strengthen Your Home: Reinforce your home's structure by securing loose shingles, reinforcing windows, and installing storm shutters or impact-resistant glass.
Stay Informed: Invest in a NOAA weather radio or download a reliable weather app to receive alerts and updates about tornado warnings in your area.
Have a safe place by the door or common area, so that you always remember to grab your wallet, purse, etc. Incase of catastrophic damage, it is always important to have identification, a credit card, some cash and a list of phone numbers that are your primary emergency contacts in case your mobile phone is ruined.
Tornado Safety Tips While Traveling or Camping
Traveling or camping during tornado season requires extra vigilance to ensure your safety in case of severe weather.
Camping Safety Tips
Upon checking in, ask the camp host for the EMERGENCY weather storm shelter is located!
Choose the Right Campsite: Select a campsite away from trees and other potential hazards that could become projectiles in high winds. Avoid setting up camp in low-lying areas prone to flooding.
Monitor Weather Conditions: Stay informed about weather forecasts and be prepared to seek shelter in a sturdy building or designated storm shelter if severe weather threatens.
Pack Emergency Supplies: Pack essential emergency supplies, including a first aid kit, non-perishable food, water, flashlights, and extra batteries. Consider bringing a portable weather radio or a fully charged smartphone with a weather app for updates.
Safety Tips for Travelers
Plan Ahead: Check weather forecasts for your travel route and destination before hitting the road. Be prepared to alter your plans if severe weather is expected.
Stay Informed: Keep abreast of weather updates during your journey by tuning into local radio stations or using a weather app on your smartphone.
Have a Shelter Plan: Identify shelters along your route or at your destination where you can seek refuge in case of a tornado warning. If you're staying in a hotel, familiarize yourself with the hotel's emergency procedures.
Father's Day Gifts & Trips
If your idea of a Father’s Day weekend is cleaning up the yard, mowing and fixing the long overdue hole in the backyard fence. Then you are wrong. Why should the weekend not be celebrated like others such as Mother's Day?
Father's Day Gifts & Trip Ideas To Plan Now
Now there are lots of gifts out there from the Tees to the Coffee Cups that say “World’s Greatest Dad”; but my suggestion is to stay away from the typical gifts and go for something more memorable.
Take The Time, Make The Memories
Plan A Weekend Fishing Trip. Early summer fishing is often the best!
Purchase a Guided Fishing Trip as a Gift for a later date.
Campout with the whole family! If your dad is a bit older, than book him in a cabin but be sure to bring along all who can make it.
Golfing with the Guys or pitting family member teams against one another. Nothing wrong with some friendly family competition.
Brewery Tour. Plan an afternoon of touring the local Breweries, Distilleries or Wineries in your area. Often there’s live music outside, making for a fun day!
Geocaching. If you’ve not tried, you need to! It’s an adult version of a scavenger hunt. What kid or guy doesn’t like to “hunt” for something!?
Build a project together. Think about if there’s something you’ve been wanting your dad’s help with or he has been wanting yours. The time spent together focused on that task, creating something you’ll be proud of for years to come is rewarding too.
Father's Day or Guy Gifts To Buy
1. Hawaiian Shirts! Personalize or customize with family photos, favorite cows or pets.
2. Infused Wood Chips for BBQ Smoking. These are great for the BBQ cooks in the family!
3. Battery operated yard tools. Technology has come a long way with increasing power in the tools as well as the longevity in battery length. Today you can trim weeds, use power drills, hack saws and even chain saws all with the same battery. There are even battery operated power washers. Batteries alone are a great gift, just make sure you know the brand of tools the recipient is using so that they all match in chargers and batteries.

Add a Little Crunch to Your Diet with Cicadas: USA insect emergence offers a unique culinary experience. Will you try?
THE WORLD OF CICADAS
Insects have long been a part of traditional diets worldwide, with cicadas being one such edible insect. In this guide, we'll explore the fascinating world of cicadas, including their nutritional value, life cycle, and how to safely harvest, store, and prepare them for consumption.
Cicadas belong to the superfamily Cicadidae and are known for their robust bodies, broad heads, transparent wings, and distinct compound eyes. With over 3,000 known species, cicadas are divided into annual and periodical cicadas. Periodical cicadas, like Brood XIX, spend most of their lives underground and emerge every 13 or 17 years in synchronized broods.
Nutritional Value of Cicadas
Cicadas are a valuable source of nutrition, containing high levels of protein and essential amino acids. Studies have shown that cicadas contain more protein than pork and eggs, with low levels of fat and elevated levels of healthy fats like polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), according to the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension.
How To Find, Prepare and Store Cicadas
Finding cicadas requires patience and observation. They are typically found in areas with abundant vegetation, and their emergence can be observed around and after sunset. Nymphs, teneral cicadas, and mature adults can all be found during different stages of their life cycle
Before harvesting cicadas, it's crucial to consider safety measures to avoid contamination and ensure freshness. Cicadas can be stored in the freezer for up to a year, and they should be de-winged and blanched before cooking to remove any dirt or pathogens.
Cicada & Seafood Boil Recipe: A Unique Twist on a Classic Favorite
Are you ready to take your seafood boil to the next level? Dive into this unconventional yet delicious recipe that incorporates the unexpected addition of cicadas, giving your meal a truly memorable touch. Adapted from a trusted source, this recipe promises a feast for the senses that will have everyone coming back for more... or at least talking about it!
Ingredients:
2 lemons, halved
1 medium sweet onion, quartered
2 serrano chiles, split in half lengthwise and seeds and membranes removed
1 head garlic, peeled and halved
1 bunch fresh thyme, tied with string
1 cup seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
3 teaspoons kosher salt, or more to taste
3 bay leaves
1.5 pounds medium red potatoes, cut in half
3 (13 ounce) packages smoked kielbasa sausage, cut into 2-inch pieces
3 ears sweet corn, halved
30 littleneck clams, scrubbed
2 pounds jumbo shrimp, deveined, tail on
1 pound cicadas (roughly 200) newly hatched or adults
Directions:
Fill a very large stockpot fitted with a basket insert with about 4 quarts of water, or about a third full.
Squeeze lemons into the water, tossing the halves in too. Add the onion, chiles, garlic, thyme, seafood seasoning, kosher salt, and bay leaves; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir potatoes into the pot and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
Add the sausage and corn; cook another 5 minutes, making sure everything stays covered with the liquid.
Add the clams and boil until they open, about 8 minutes. Toss in shrimp and shut off the heat. Cover the pot and let shrimp steep in the flavor for 10 minutes, adding the cicadas in the last 5 minutes (press them into the liquid).
Serve as-is in a bowl, or drain and spread the cicadas, shrimp, sausage, clams, corn, potatoes, and onion out on a newspaper-covered table or on three large serving trays.
Sprinkle with a dusting of Old Bay or provide for individual use.
This Cicada and Seafood Boil recipe is a crowd-pleaser that's sure to spark conversation and delight taste buds. Embrace the cicada craze and give this unique dish a try at your next gathering. Enjoy!

UNDERSTANDING RATTLESNAKE BEHAVIOR & DANGER TO STAY SAFE
Rattlesnakes exhibit various behaviors influenced by their habitat and surroundings. Learning about their habits can significantly reduce the risk of an encounter turning into a dangerous situation. Understanding snake behavior & habitat is crucial for staying safe.
In recent years, it has been documented that not all rattlesnakes' tails rattles. This has been discovered in rattlesnakes in both South Dakota's Badlands and in California. Know your snakes before venturing outdoors!
Immediate Actions In Case of a Bite
In the event of a rattlesnake bite, swift action is vital. The best defense is to have a set of car keys and a designated driver on hand. Calling 911 for an ambulance or Life Flight while en route to the hospital is essential to minimize delays in treatment.
Prompt medical attention is critical to counteract the venom's effects. Stress and anxiety can exacerbate symptoms, so keeping the victim calm is paramount during transit to medical facilities.

AUCTION SALE GUIDE TO BID & WIN
10 Tips For Auction Sale Bidders
At an auction sale, you can expect a dynamic, thrilling environment where items are sold to the highest bidder. Here's what to know before you go!
Catalog: Before the auction begins, you'll typically receive or have access to a catalog listing the items up for sale. This allows you to preview the items and decide which ones you're interested in bidding on.
Registration: You'll need to register to participate in the auction. This usually involves providing identification and obtaining a bidder number or paddle.
Preview Period: There's usually a preview period before the auction starts, during which you can inspect the items up for sale. This is your chance to closely examine the items and assess their condition.
Auctioneer: The auctioneer is the person who conducts the auction. They'll start by introducing each item, provide a description, and begin the bidding process.
Bidding: Bidding starts with an opening bid set by the auctioneer. Bidders then raise their paddles or signal their bids in response. The auctioneer will continue to raise the price until there are no more bids.
Reserve Price: Some items may have a reserve price, which is the minimum price the seller is willing to accept. If the bidding doesn't reach the reserve price, the item may not be sold.
Winning Bidders: The highest bidder wins the item and is typically required to pay immediately or provide a deposit. Payment methods vary but often include cash, credit/debit cards, or certified checks.
Buyer's Premium: There may be a buyer's premium, an additional fee added to the final bid price. This goes to the auction house to cover administrative costs. Most online auctions, for example firearm or gun auctions, have these premiums applied.
Removal of Items: After winning an item, you'll need to arrange for its removal. Some auction houses provide assistance with this, while others expect the buyer to handle it themselves.
Terms and Conditions: It's important to familiarize yourself with the auction house's terms and conditions before participating. These outline important details such as payment methods, buyer responsibilities, and any additional fees. Understand exactly what you are bidding on first. If it is an online firearm or gun auction, know how you will ship and talk with your local FFL dealer first.
Now get into the action and have fun!
CALCUTTA GAMBLING; ADD EXCITEMENT TO EVENTS
What is a "Calcutta" at a Rodeo or Fishing Tournament?
In a rodeo or fishing tournament, a Calcutta is a form of betting where participants bid on the competitors or teams they think will perform the best. The bids are placed in a pool, and after the competition, the pool is divided among the winning bidders, with a portion typically going to the organizers or a designated charity. It adds an extra layer of excitement and competition to the event, as participants have a vested interest in the outcome beyond just the competition itself.
Jump in the action at the next event you attend!

STRATEGIES FOR GARAGE SALE SUCCESS: UNLOCK SECRETS FOR HOSTING AND SHOPPING
5 Tips For Hosting A Successful Garage, Yard And Rummage Sale
Effective Pre-Sale Planning: Research & Promotion is a must and easily accomplished by utilizing social media, local classifieds, and neighborhood forums to advertise your sale.
Organize Items Strategically: Group similar items together and create clear signage for easy navigation.
Price Items to Sell & Be Flexible: Research the Market Value by using online platforms to gauge the fair market value of your items. Be prepared to negotiate and consider bundle deals to attract more buyers, the bargain hunters will be looking to deal.
Create An Inviting Atmosphere: Clean and Organization is a must to ensure your sale area is tidy and clutter-free to entice shoppers. Consider providing refreshments such as offering complimentary drinks or snacks to enhance the shopping experience.
Utilize Technology: Offer Virtual Tours by using your social media or video platforms to showcase your items to potential buyers. While cash is traditionally valued, embracing digital payments through a mobile option expands purchasing opportunities. This convenient choice accommodates buyers lacking cash and educates newcomers to garage sales about payment flexibility.
Implementing these five key strategies will set the stage for a thriving garage, yard, or rummage sale. With effective planning, strategic organization, flexible pricing, inviting atmospheres, and utilization of technology, you'll create an unforgettable event that attracts eager buyers and fosters a rewarding shopping experience for all.
Top 5 Garage Sale Shopping Secrets for Bargain Success
Arrive Early: The early bird gets the worm, and this holds true for garage sales. Arriving early gives you the best chance to snag the most desirable items before others do. Often, the best deals and unique finds are gone quickly, so aim to be one of the first shoppers there.
Bring Cash: Most garage sales operate on a cash-only basis, so it's essential to bring enough cash with you. Carry small bills and change to make transactions easier. Negotiating prices is common at these sales, so having cash on hand allows you to haggle effectively.
Be Strategic: Plan your route in advance if there are multiple sales happening in your area. Focus on neighborhoods known for hosting good sales or ones where you've had luck in the past. Use apps or websites that list garage sales in your area to map out your route efficiently.
Inspect Items Carefully: While garage sales can offer fantastic deals, it's essential to inspect items thoroughly before purchasing them. Check for any defects, damage, or missing parts. Test electronics and appliances whenever possible to ensure they work correctly. Don't be afraid to ask questions about the history or condition of items.
Negotiate Prices: Bargaining is a common practice at garage sales, so don't hesitate to negotiate the price. Start by politely asking if the seller is willing to lower the price, and be prepared to counteroffer. Keep in mind that sellers are usually looking to declutter and are often willing to haggle to make a sale. Bundling also is a GREAT way to get your bang for buck! Gather several items, then begin the negotiating, but always do so politely!
Embrace the excitement of garage sale season by shopping with confidence and scoring great bargains! Arrive early to seize the best deals, bring cash for seamless transactions, and strategically plan your route for maximum efficiency. Prioritize thorough inspections to ensure quality purchases and hone your negotiation skills to secure the best prices. Remember, politeness and bundling items can further enhance your savings and satisfaction. Happy hunting!

THIS IS HOW TO CELEBRATE NATIONAL PARKS ALL YEAR LONG
National Park Week is a celebration of America's natural treasures, and there's no better time to immerse yourself in the beauty and wonder of these pristine landscapes. The week focusing on the USA National Parks can be a great reason to get the planning and excitement around visiting parks all year long regardless if solo or sharing with others. Whether you're a seasoned explorer or a first-time visitor, here are five ways to enhance your National Park experience and make lasting memories.
5 Ways to Make the Most of A Park Visit
Discover Hidden Gems: Every National Park is filled with hidden treasures waiting to be uncovered. Before your visit, take some time to research the park you'll be exploring. Look for lesser-known trails, scenic viewpoints, or unique activities that will make your experience unforgettable. Whether it's a secluded waterfall, a historic landmark, or a rare species of wildlife, there's always something new to discover in our National Parks.
Volunteer or Practice Conservation: Give back to the parks that give us so much by volunteering your time and energy. Many National Parks offer volunteer opportunities for individuals or groups looking to make a difference. Whether you're helping with trail maintenance, participating in a beach cleanup, or assisting with wildlife monitoring, your efforts will contribute to the preservation of these precious landscapes for future generations to enjoy.
Embrace Innovation and History: National Parks are not only showcases of natural beauty but also repositories of history and innovation. Take some time to learn about the innovative projects that were undertaken when the park was established and how they have shaped the landscape we see today. From the construction of iconic landmarks to the implementation of sustainable practices, these stories of innovation will deepen your appreciation for these incredible places.
Engage the Next Generation: Inspire a love of nature and conservation in the next generation by involving youth in your National Park adventures. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or mentor, create an action plan to engage young people in learning about the importance of preserving our natural heritage. Plan activities like nature hikes, wildlife spotting, or educational programs to help them connect with the outdoors and become stewards of the land.
Capture Memories Through Art: National Parks have long been a source of inspiration for artists of all kinds. Take advantage of this creative muse by honing your artistic skills during your visit. Whether you're a painter, photographer, or poet, let the beauty of the park inspire your work. Experiment with different mediums, from watercolors to digital photography, and capture the essence of the landscape in your own unique way. Just remember to respect wildlife and keep a safe distance, especially during sensitive times like mating season.
By embracing these tips, you can make the most of National Park Week and create unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime whenever visiting a park or historical location on your next adventure. So pack your bags, lace up your hiking boots, and get ready to explore the wonders of America's National Parks!

Photograph Nature: From signs of spring to new baby animals to summer birds arriving daily; Nature Photography is a fun way to share the excitement of spring. With almost all carrying a cellphone, your camera is already in your pocket - now use it to capture life.
Windy? Fly A Kite: When is the last time you flew a kite, or have your children ever gotten the chance. April tends to have a few windy days so buy a kite for some fun.
Visit a Greenhouse or Botanical Garden: Once the weather warms, we all get the itch to be outside. On the days not so nice, take a stroll through a local greenhouse or botanical garden to become inspired on what your gardening plans might look like. A great way to educate yourself on the various plants that will thrive in your climate zone.
Enjoy A Bike Ride: Get the bicycle out, air up the tires and hit the trail or road. The weather is perfect for a sweatshirt or light jacket plus the addition of seeing nature along the way makes for a perfect biking combination… just don’t forget the helmet!
WHY COOK ON GAS GRIDDLE BBQ; HOW TO SEASON & MAINTAIN A GRIDDLE
Grilling in the bbq world or using a smoker has been a long lasting tradition when it comes to the outdoors. If you haven’t purchased a griddle to try, you might realize you are missing out. We jumped on the bandwagon of adding the outdoor propane griddle a few years back. As a result of the diversity, we now own two in different sizes.
The first purchase was a 4 burner propane gas Pit Boss Griddle. We chose this one for the front grease cleanout location as where the griddle stays on our cabin deck, that is more accessible.
The second purchase was a 17” propane gas Blackstone Griddle. After realizing how easy it was to cook all our meals on the larger version, we opted for a more compact one to take along camping, going to the lake or for picnics.
CONS OF BBQING: Regardless if it is a Griddle, Grill or Smoker; we have learned the same issue applies and that is providing an area with minimal wind. Now there are “windshields” one can make or build, but we have had to watch the wind regardless when using any of these. NOTE: Do not use a griddle, grill or smoker inside of buildings.
GRIDDLE SEASONING & MAINTENANCE
Once purchasing a griddle, before use it is an ABSOLUTE MUST that one reads the manufacturer’s booklet regarding the Preparation, Seasoning and Maintenance of the griddle to ensure the longevity of the cooking top but also so that food doesn't stick and tastes desirable.
5 Easy Steps To Season A Gas Griddle BBQ
Rust Removal: New or Old moisture may collect on the cooking surface causing a patch of rust or a rough spot. Scrub away any rust or rough spots using a Scotch Brite pad.
Clean Griddle: If the griddle is new from the factory, it may come with a thin oil coating. To clean us a small amount of mild dish soap in warm water to remove the factory coating. Proceed to also wipe off everything else after use with a clean damp cloth.
Seasoning A Griddle: A griddle must be seasoned before use. First turn all burners on high heat, allowing for the griddle cooking surface to begin changing color. Using high smoke point cooking oil like flaxseed, drizzle it all over the surface. Careful it is HOT. Have ready a pair of tongs or heat-resistant gloves, take a lint-free cloth as the goal is to evenly wipe or coat the entire cooking surface including the tight corners as well as the outside of the griddle surface.
Wait and Repeat 3x: This is a slow process, and needs to be repeated a minimum of three times. The oil will start to smoke with the burners being on High. Wait until you see that the smoke has stopped. Drizzle and wipe another coating of oil thoroughly. Repeat the process until there have been at least 3 applications. READ YOUR GRIDDLE SEASONING INSTRUCTIONS.
Coat To Protect: Once the initial oil seasoning is complete, turn the burners off so that the surface may cool to where it is warm to the touch. Using a lint free cloth, begin wiping a sealing product such as BuzzyWaxx (beeswax). Bacon Up - Bacon Grease, or manufacturer’s of griddles offer their own products. A thin coat is all that is needed, just make sure you reach all the corners.
After completing these 5 simple steps, your griddle is ready for breakfast, lunch or dinner! So now start slinging some hash, becoming your own hibachi backyard grill or even try baking cookies - ENJOY!

Celebrate National Garden Month: Tips For Successful Gardening
Discover the wonders of gardening as April is National Garden Month! From reducing stress to providing fresh, nutritious produce, gardening offers a multitude of benefits for physical, mental, and environmental well-being. Learn tips for gardening success. Whether you're starting small or expanding your green space, there's no better time to get involved in this rewarding activity.
Gardening isn't just about pretty flowers; it offers a plethora of health perks. Research shows it can reduce stress, boost mood, and provide low-impact exercise. Plus, there's nothing quite like the taste of homegrown produce. Fresh fruits and veggies straight from the garden are not only flavorful but also packed with nutrients. Even with limited space, everyone can enjoy gardening. Consider utilizing flower beds, raised beds, and even a friend's land if you do not have a backyard. It's all about making the most of what you have.
Environmentally, Gardening has many benefits from absorbing carbon dioxide to providing habitats for pollinators like bees and butterflies. Whether you have a backyard or just a balcony, there are endless ways to get involved and start spring planting.
Gardening Tips
Start small, choose the right plants, and plan ahead for a successful garden.
Choose the right plants. Factors to consider: sunlight time, soil type and the climate zone for planting.
Understand Plants. Depending on your climate zone, length of growing season and the sunlight will all be instrumental factors in the vegetables, fruits or flowers that are planted.
Tools. Gardening does not have to be expensive, but to ensure that you have a positive experience, invest in the right tools that will make it easier and more enjoyable.
For questions directly about your area's growing conditions and for possible workshops, contact your local agriculture extension office. Agriculture Extension offices are a terrific resource and offer free insight.

ROAD MAPS - WHY TO USE
Many of us have become addicted to our phones, have allowed electronics to replace much of what we use in life. What about finding your destination? Getting from one location to another. There are many reasons to make sure your vehicle always has a Road Map or Road Atlas. First reasons are simple, even though it seems there is cellphone or mobile phone service everywhere, in reality there is not. If you are traveling and your carrier goes down, your phone potentially could not navigate correctly. Also, there are many areas when on the back roads or touring the backcountry where there is no cell service and limited satellite reach too. Having that road map can result in you safely finding your destination.
Youth and road maps; love this combination. Encourage you to use road maps as improving cognitive skills in kids, children, youth as well as the older generation. Cognitive skills are ones to always try to keep sharp!

Smell SKUNK? Love is in the air, and the smell comes along too. Learn about skunks and what to do if your dog is sprayed. Plus, Hot Buys & Gift Ideas to improve Summer Adventures. This is Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger’ Erhardt with The Bend Radio Show & Podcast, your news outlet for the latest in the Outdoors & Western Lifestyle!
Episode 177 Details
SKUNK! WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SKUNKS BEFORE SPRAYED
Skunk mating season begins in February and continues until the end of March. Female skunks usually only have one litter each year. So why are we telling you this, because LOVE and awful smells are in the air this time of year during skunk breeding season!
What happens during skunk mating season?
During mating season, neighborhoods may notice an increase in skunk odors. A skunk can travel from up to six miles away to find a mate. When a male finds a female, she can discourage his advances by emitting an odor. The increased and pungent aroma is a sign of females repelling males in pursuit of the right mate.
Males spray each other as they fight over females for their love. Females will spray males they don't want to mate with, and the smell can reach up to a mile away.
DOG SPRAYED BY SKUNK? HERE’S HOW TO WASH YOUR DOG
Thankfully times have changed and you do not have to worry about having an enormous amount of tomato juice or a place to think about having such a bath. The best news is that you more than likely have the three ingredients needed to make a de-skunk shampoo in your home.
BEFORE YOU START - be sure to be wearing OLD CLOTHES and read the Important Key Warnings listed below!
Mix 3 to 4 parts 3% hydrogen peroxide to 1 part baking soda, along with a teaspoon of dish detergent.
Apply this mixture to your dog while it’s still bubbling
IMPORTANT KEY WARNINGS:
Do not use the solution near your dog’s eyes, and be careful when applying around the mouth.
Peroxide may bleach your dog’s fur, an effect that is especially noticeable on black or brown dogs.
Peroxide may also bleach any other material it comes in contact with, like clothing, towels or furniture.
LASTLY - remember that skunks can carry the rabies virus, so be sure to keep your dog always up to date on their rabies vaccinations.
