fall 2000 and 9

fall 2009 enjoy it has been a nice fall though except for mom getting sick, contractor skipping out and plumbing going aray. not to mention septic probles, then anouther contractor mishap. car parts and a new washer ,dryer. if it wasn't for work i would be toes up. hopefully everything comes together and all ends well. other then all those problems and many more the weathers been good to us . no snow yet but rain has been comeing down. it is poreing out there right now cats and dogs, plus a little wind to make it better. cold fronts comming soon. have yet to buy a snow blower. think i'm waiting tell they are all gone and i won't be able to find one anywhere. always can fall back on the shovel, well lean on it i guess. bon said shes not shoveling this year , don,t blame her for that. i like the excersize myself.

CODY AND BEAR ARE COUSINs i thought but bonnie says that codys her grand son. so i guess that makes me a grand doggie

FALL 2009 HOLY COW WHERE DOES THE TIME GO

time to take the cover off the ol honda and fire it up/. it is amazeing how a machine can sit so dormat and fire up like a pro when the time is needed. BUT--- and it is a big but i,m talking about. my body has taken some crazy turns durring the last couple years. my knees are shot . without hydrocordone they wouldn't be any good to me. i have another year to go before retire ment.i want to let them last that long. then there are other old man problems you don't want to know about. but are keeping me at bay. so i have not been the faithfull hunter i always have been. not this year at least. i started the year out by letting a nice big 4 point walk away. HEY i couldn,t drag the darn thing anyway. haven,t only been a couple times sence. and a couple hours at that. i went back that day when i saw the buck with intentions of not shooting but getting a picture and i did. the pic is blurry but when i got to the stand it was already in the field. i climed up opened the windows of carls old stand and took 5 pics of it before i lifted the .06 to look at it through the scope. wow what a nice rack i said and coninued to watch as he drifted away in the evening light., it did my heart good that day. to be able to control myself from being a killer for that short moment. theres only a couple weeks left. i have taken care of one little problem so far and when that heels i will go again. this time i might just take the safety off. heres the 4 pt.
