I am out of order until further notice. My "stupid people" filter needs cleaning and my "give a damn" batteries have run out.

Took a 3x3 Mulie in SE Colorado in October. Didn't take a shot with bow,rifle or flintlock here in PA. We had a very heavy acorn crop this year and deer were scattered throughout the area, making it hard to pattern them. Plus, I was in Colorado through much of the PA bow season.

Ron, glad to hear you put one on the ground. My buddy shot a cow elk over in SW CO the first season. Nothing beats fresh elk steak at deer camp.
Taking an old friend down to the VA hospital at Tomah, WI today for a check up. Think we have 2 more appointments scheduled in the next 2 weeks.
Saturday I have a gun show, Ike Waltons fisheree and a lutefisk supper to go to. If I survive the lutefisk I'll watch the super bowel on Sunday.

Well, Makes No Patties broke her ass I guess. or tailbone or what ever (fell down I guess) So she aint riding, I think bangflop has an old panther running for the ride (so I'll have a fellow junker to ride with ) Rooster & special K sold their sleds... I think the dancing Gazelle has to work.... But I'm bringing 5 sleds down, 4 regular ones & one tricked out super mod sno jet. Me, Pam & the kids are riding, weezy & runs with scissors are riding, the young barber will ride in the snow coach. I'll toss a regular sled of ours & probably justins on the big trailer & Rooster will pull the trailer as a chase rig. That way if me and/or justin cook the vintage sleds we'll have backup sleds. Or in the case that we call a truce in the ironbutt vintage sled riding contest we'll retire the old sleds to the trailer & ride our regular boring ones It's very unlikely though, I'll have a tow strap in the sno jet in case any of the other sleds break down so I can town them to the nearest road with the sno jet. On sleds it will be you guys, my regular tribe, justin and shane. could be some of justins friends in there too I suppose. The young indian child will ride in the sno coach with the barber.

Gonna be a gooood time! Me, Special K and Breaks her Ass are all going to ride in the chase vehicle waiting for wounded sleds. I have a story of a past old timers run: My cousin Scott bought an old Rupp snowmobile in pretty nice shape. The windsheild that was on it was pretty scratched up but the guy through in a new one. (The kind you just can't find for a Rupp anymore and he was very very proud of it) So the day before the OT run, he waxes up that old red beast and puts his new windshield on and throws the other one away. Long story short he goes and returns from the run that night and finds me and his brother Daren making trails in their woods with our sleds. Well back in the day, 'ol Scott enjoyed to partake in the spirits A LOT and this day was no different. He came riding up, shuts off his extremely noisy sled and starts bragging that his RUPP made the whole run and two other guys he rode with that had newer (mid 70's cats)sleds broke down. He's slurring and laughing and bragging. In mid sentence he starts stumbling sideways and reaches out for anything to catch his fall and SNAP, SCRUNCH tip. There he is laying on the ground with his shattered windshield in his hand. We were nice enough to stand there and point and laugh at him but it got really funny when his RUPP wouldn't start. It never did again either. Apparently the noise we heard when he drove up wasn't supposed to be there but he was too sloshed to notice.

Rooster, call me on my cell during the ride if your chevy breaks down, The sno jet has a hitch from the factory, it was built for pulling. I figure I'll probably be busy pulling arctic cats around most of the day tomorrow with the sno jet but if you get stuck or break down with the chase rig you gotta holler at me.

I'm sure that is very comforting considering a Ford is expected to haul your loved ones all the way down from up nort!
