The custom teardrop topic reminded me that I want to sell this thing. My mother-in-law - who used to live with us - moved out of state so my in-home dog sitting service is no more -- getting boarding in summertime (last minute, especially) for the 3 dogs is tough and while they can fit in there...
I didn’t know there was a Disney Christmas Parade until my mother-in-law called this morning to tell me The Smashing Pumpkins, the greatest band of all time, were playing. I didn’t believe her at first, but, sure enough, after watching an hour or more of a long Disney commercial there they were.
What is it about Thursdays and booze for me? I might not do any boozing til next Thursday, in which case there may be another Fridaysomewhere topic.
Anyyway, this is the best live performance of (maybe) the best song by the Counting Crows.
I changed a couple words, but Im sure everyone recognizes the tune. I hope its not stuck in your head the rest of the day!
This morning I pulled Roach out of the flight chamber. He moulted pretty well with the #2 primaries being about 90% done and the #1s roughly 40% done plus a bunchve...
My wife calls this stage of drunkeness 'Drunkin Pumpkins'. It happens a handful of times per year. And, much as she may disagrre, its not all Pumpkins....
Post the best song you ever heard. Tell a story. Whatever. Ill read it, if you post it.
This is the best song Ive ever heard. I...
My nephew has (finally) decided he wants to deer hunt next season. He will be 13. My father, his grandfather, want to buy him a deer rifle for Christmas. Dad tasked me with buying it since he is out of state for work til spring. OK, dad, sure thing. It might not (probably wont) be here...
Feeling emo. Might delete later.
Two seasons ago, my falcon migrated. Our anatum peregrines spend their winter in Mexico and Central America. Sometimes, falconry birds, especially in their first season, get this urge and there is no stopping them. This season was particularly bad -- I...
I’ve got a Pumpkins tee on this morning on my way out the door. Always loved Billy’s Soma solo.
More metal later. Stay pumped, people. Anyone posts country and I swear to dog above I’ll burn this place to the ground.
I bought a Pez dispenser today. It had a purple and red pack of Pez. Purple is my favorite. Only, the Pez the came from the purple pack were white. The pack was labeled as cupcake. They were gross.
It’s time to burn it. Burn it all.
I’ll start. Filson. Helicopter is out of reach for me, but still going to take out second mortgage to buy some of their new clothes after seeing this one in my inbox.
Save the (helicopter) cowboy.
The caller Id says 'FWPHRVSTSURVEY' this year. Not some random number.
In contrast to previous years, they asked me about every one of my tags. How many days spent for each, which region(s) for each, harvest success for each, number of pts for each. They also asked me about upland birds -...
As I’m getting ready at my vehicle to fly the falcon up on a bench today, I looked up as a lone bull elk is hopping the fence coming up the hill onto the bench. He then crosses the dirt road the stops, turns his head to me, and stares. At 15-20 yards, closer to 15.
So there I am, falcon on...
The leopards in India topic had me remembering this footage.
Those Craighead boys had quite the little adventure. If youre feeling like dropping some coin, can recommend:

Grabbed a reservation campground early last week for Sat night to be closer to a trailhead for a Sun morning hike in the Beartooths with the missus and one of the mongrels. Checked on a whim, was surprised there was anything available. Mustve been a cancellation by a responsible person. Which...
Amongst my pack of mongrels (there are 4), there is a rescue. He has some much potential, but being 3 when I adopted him we were not able to reach it.
Ive broken him of chasing deer, but he has never been broken of chasing critters. He really freaks out when he sees rabbits. I dont like it...
I like birds.
Do you like birds?
8 or so years ago, I started a flock of racing pigeons. The initial motivation was to use for falcon training. I intended to use for dog training, also, but I honestly havent found the need as yet tho I would if I thought I needed to for a new pup.
Now...
Have enough cold weather gear to get me thru next ice age. Dont have warm weather gear - not dedicated hunting gear, anyway (ie not camo). Decided to archery antelope hunt, camo might be nice.
Looking for quality and price point of 'slightly better than junk'.
