@@SarahRadloff-o3x We put it in raw. Good luck!

@@johnfrank8403 Thanks John! It is certainly nice (most of the time) to have a dog in the house again! Hope all is well with you and your family.

Haha, thanks Rande! I will definitely be seeing you around... 😎

Thanks Dana. No, you haven't missed anything, I haven't been on YT much but I do look forward to getting more active at some point. We're at the stage where the kids are so busy with sports, music, etc and I hardly have time to fish or make videos. I do see your IG photos and they always want to make me grab a rod and head out to the water.

Thank you! She's off to a good start. Hoping for some vegetable garden protection next spring...

Thanks Lance! The times I've been without a dog in my life, going back to early childhood, have just been more lonely and not as enjoyable so we are thrilled beyond measure to have Louise keeping us on our toes. Only someone else who is also a dog lover can fully understand. One of my favorite things so far is that she went into the garage and I had a couple of fishing poles laying down and she went right over and kept smelling them. Sounds like I've got a new fishing partner!

@@fatherandsonsfishing That will be great to have a new fishing partner and you are right, life is just better with a dog around, no matter what the day brings they are always overjoyed to see you!! Y’all will have a blast together I’m sure on adventures to come!!

Laura, my heart aches for you. I am so sorry you had to say goodbye to Maggie. Anyone who is a dog lover like we are can't imagine not having a dog in their lives, only the cruel trick Mother Nature plays on us is that their lifespans don't synch up with ours. There are no genuine words of consolation I can say because it sucks, it's awful, it's sad, and it's lonely, but there will be a time when you can welcome another dog into your life and your heart, and I wish you as much comfort and peace as possible until that time.

Thank you

I know there is no set timeline on how soon you should get a dog after the death of another dog. For us it was 8 months and those were very boring, bland, quiet, and lonely months, but I am glad we did wait a little because we were all ready to welcome Louise into our lives. When I first started watching your channel, I loved watching all the adventures that Tucker went on with you, and I've thought about you and Karen as we have welcomed new joy into our lives, just as you did a couple years ago with Bodhi. Even though their lifespans don't synch up with ours, I still feel like having a dog in your life is one of the best things anyone can do. And talking about college scholarships, fingers crossed! Both boys are good at baseball, but Alex has gotten to the stage of really dedicating himself to baseball. At 14, he is 6'2" and is consistently in the low 70's on his fastball and gaining more velocity practically every day. I plan to do a video about it at some point, but we (mostly me, lol) built a MLB replica pitching mound and 60'6" batters box with a home plate in our small side yard and it's been great to watch him go out there an work.

Thank you very much! I really hope to be more active with watching and making videos again at some point. I have several videos that just need to be edited, including an incredible shelling trip last Sept after TS Ophelia. My youngest son is really into shelling and we can't wait to hit the beaches this winter!

Thanks John! I'm planning to ramp back up on video watching and making at some point. I am sorry for your family's loss. It's the only bad part of having a dog...

@@fatherandsonsfishing yes it is

Cracking up at your comment as always mate!!!🤣😂 Damn insurance!!!!

@@joshuathomas6755 This place is in Collington and it’s right across from the Fire Station. A really accessible place to try is under the bridge from Nags Head to Manteo. There is a huge dock, parking, and plenty of places to crab.

@@joesch11 Thanks!

I saw crabs grab bologna on hook did not let go

Thanks!

That’s awesome! Hope it was a fun time!

Yeah, there are so many pizza places on the Outer Banks that we didn’t include any of the Manteo places. But we do plan on a Manteo only pizza review at some point in the future…

Lots of great memories fishing with my dad not crabbing**

Yes and yes!

Thank you very much, and yes we are!

Thank you!

Thank you, Paul.

Thank you, Tom. I seem to recall that Gingerbread House had just opened again under new ownership at the time of my review so that all now comes full circle for me. If you've seen my other reviews of Outer Banks pizza restaurants in this video or our other two, the primary goal is to positively showcase Outer Banks pizza restaurants. Of course, I liked some pizzas more than others but my goal was always to highlight the restaurant rather than to say this place is better than that place. Unless it was one of the chains. We didn't score them very high, LOL. All of that said, and also because you mention you've changed the pizza, I remember not being blown away by the pizza. Because Gingerbread House had been closed when we reviewed in Jan. and in April, and because I saw so many comments saying that peoples' favorite place was Gingerbread House and we should try it, I reviewed it in May with anticipation of a high score. The crust was the biggest problem, IMO. At the time, it was the thickest crust of any OBX restaurant I'd reviewed, and because Bakery was in the name of the store, I was hoping for a spectacular crust and it just wasn't for me. Again, I'm only sharing this type of critique because you said that you've changed the pizza. I ended up giving the May 2023 version a 76 and while it wasn't as high a score as some others, the pizza certainly wasn't bad. If I was there on vacation, would I have it for dinner one night? Of course. If I were a local, would it be a place I ordered from every so often? Definitely. We are planning to do another Pizza Review this fall/winter. Our main focus is going to be on pizzas from non-pizza restaurants that we've previously not reviewed, but we do plan to revisit a few places and Gingerbread House will definitely be on the list!

We still haven’t reviewed them! Understandably it’s a little harder to get to for most folks, but it’s definitely on our list.
