Valsdad, I reread last post you made and it has convinced me all the way down to and accept the part about hunting in downpours.

I've had my fair days of that jazz and I'll simply stay in stoking the fire all day and chasing the Mrs around the house. Tomorrow's another day for this fella nowadays. I've had to work year round in extreme weather crazy all my life and I'm done with that for the moment... snowstorms I dig, but the torrential downpours nada.

Thanks for the awesome website link

The perfection of life with a gun dog, like the perfection of an Autumn, is disturbing because you know, even as it begins, that it must end. Time bestows the gift and steals it in the process. "George Bird Evans"
