Love it Dave, been following along, enjoying the show.

Paul.

when are you guys leaving muffy

Dave & Tom,

Seriously, there must be nobody left in your States. I just ran downtown to buy some lunch & the place is awash with "units" bearing MN & WI plates.

Boarder crossing must be a madhouse.

Hope I can find a lake to myself this weekend !!

Paul.

I think we are leaving from mom and dad's tomorrow morning. Not sure how early.

not before 7:30

I think we will be up there at 5 a.m. you better be up! J/K

ok see you when you get here

June is a pretty big vacation month here for guys headed nort to catch walleyes.

I have 3 more days as a WI resident.

Pam sleepin on the couch, I'm eating a mess of shiitake mushrooms by myself.

she's gonna be mad!

oh well, it's health food & I need to be healthy this week toting canoes on my back in the BWCA!

somebody really should ask Dusty about his new pet.....

Hey Dusty...I hear you got a new pet...what could it be?

Oh yeah, I was there so I guess I know what it is. Heeeeheeee.

By the way, I think I need some health food too as in mushrooms! I think I'll be packing some heavy stuff too and will need my strength on this trip. Thanks Dave, I will be giggling when you are toting those canoes and I probably won't offer to help either. Oh maybe I'll offer to help???

Ok so I guess I'll tell the story of the new "pet"

We did a quick little clean up day yesterday at chickenbuck. I was running the brush mower on the 3 point behind the tractor, mowing tall grass around the cabin. The rest of the group was throwing branches etc, just kind of cleaning up a bit around camp. Afterwards we lit a fire in the fire ring & we were standing around chatting about this & that. I commented that I heard some little animal noise off in the brush, it was a cry.. I thought maybe a baby bird or something.

Well, it was Eener the weener dog chewing on a baby rabbit! Yep, the mighty hunter had caught him a baby snowshoe hare and he was just a chomping away on the poor thing.

Well the bunny was rescued from Eener and we observed him for a while wondering if he was going to survive the attack. We wondered what to do with him, it seemed the thing to do might be to take him home, nurse him back to health then return him to the woods out at camp in a week or so.

Only thing is Pam & I along with all the kids are going to the boundary waters this week on a canoe/camping trip. So we couldn't take the bunny home.

My aunt Eileen was obviously concerned for the bunny & she offered to bring him home & get him all fixed up.

So, the little guy is down at Dusty & Eileen's house in a bunny box eating lettuce & carrots right now.



Somebody must have some pictures they can post? I don't have any at work right now.

Here are the pictures of the poor bunny Eeaner was "playing with".

Here he is in the sled after Dave rescued it. His back is full of Eeaner saliva.



Here he is in his box at mom and dad's. On the way home we had him in an ice cream bucket without the lid on it. I was looking at him and all of a sudden his ears perked up and he almost jumped out of the bucket. His name fits him good. Hopper.

That looks like the one I choped in the lawnmower a couple weeks ago.....that one didn't fare as well.

The movers are loading the last of our stuff into a big red 53' trailer as I type this. Kinda weird having someone pack and load all your stuff up. I've offered to help about 1/2 dozen times, but they don't want any help.

nice guys and they like the Budwiser I've been giving them at the end of each night. Hopefully that helps all my stuff get to where it's going.

How'd that work out fer ya ?

Paul.

Tom,

Good Luck !

I know it's been a long journey.

Bet ya it'll be worth it !!

Paul.

she was a little angry but I felt no ill effects myself



I mentioned it in the main forum but i'll mention it here too. Any well wishes you could stir up for my dad would be appreciated. he's in the Hospital with some colon issues, could be pretty serious, waiting for an MRI right now.

We are all heading that way tomorrow, we had planned on it anyways since we have a BWCA trip planned for this week. I will be offline most of the week but i'll try to update when I can.

Good luck to your dad Dave. I'll keep him in our prayers.

just got good word on dad. they are treating him without surgery so that's really good news.
