Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Sitting on the front porch watching the storm roll in.

Been watching a lot of storms roll in. But Saturday afternoon they missed my grandson's outdoor wedding.

He has always been lucky at deer hunting and now lucky at love.

Real lucky at love. The bride is a blue eyed blond ex college volleyball player with a great smile.

My observation after biking to work for several seasons is:

Two people can pass in opposing directions, and both will be fighting a headwind.

White families are getting to be a rare thing these days.

Setting here looking at this damn big azz pisselum tree that I gotta cut up that blew down last night. I threw some Opa’s sausage on the little grill for lunch. Think I’ll drink a beer, eat a link or two and mebbe start on this tree this evening.

You know what they say about Opa’s sausage? Oma can NEVER get enough of Opa’s sausage!!!

BULL$HIT.

Ok.

Lmao.

Prob’ly could get out of debt faster that way, or my son gets to collect on my term life, or I eat for free with A/C as well for the foreseeable future on the Government’s dime. One of those three.

‘Fraid not.

So, did ya cut that tree yet, or did ya just sit around drinking and making yer typical jokes about Opa’s weinerschitzel?

Lightning? Always had a thing about that since my distance running days, avoid it like that plague, if I can.

THIS is why I dug up this thread, didn’t want to let this slip by.

Thank you Sir for that ringing endorsement

....and I value the friendship of guys like yourself highly.

Birdwatcher,

You should try and get a Van Van.

Your cross country, and day-to-day stories would be way less gay.

Just a thought.

Thanks but ain’t this what we all do? Or should. Goes double as we get older. ‘dafugg else does one do? .

...and I wish grandchildren on ever’body... this Grandpa gIf prob’ly the most joyful thing I’ve done in life



What is more retarded than insulting some guy from the safe anynomity of the internet?

I dunno, so you’ll have to ask Travis

Why? Even you could cross the country on a Van Van, tho not 1,000 miles in a day like I would.......

Good. I thought about you riding home in that storm.

Great GrandMother was struck by lightning in the depression era as a young woman out hoeing cotton in the fields on their farm on the TX high plains. She was terrified of it the rest of her days.
She lived to be 96, and when we were kids, we’d go to visit. We’d be out in the field playing baseball or having dirt clod fights, and if there was even a distant rumble of thunder she’d be out there screaming for us to get our little asses in her storm cellar. 🤠

I still To this day enjoy sitting out on the front porch at the Ranch watching the big storms roll in. And often think about her when the lightning starts getting close. 😬

Yeah good point.

Stick to the bicycle.

Riding a bike causes ball cancer.

It’s done. I gotta say this. The Kobalt 80 volt chainsaw i got for Christmas from my old copanero and his wife is awesome! That thing is a cuttin’ jenny!!!! Uses Oregon replacement chains and bars. Ive been cutting a bunch of mesquite firewood with it too. I think payday I’m gonna get me a polesaw. Looks like they have one that uses same battery. Thing sure has saved my gimpish right shoulder. No rope to pull!!!

And brain damage.

Apparently.

Neal,

I knew an ol’ boy, a welder. Got hit by lightening bolt. Said it made his pecker grow out to 10”. Dead pan serious as wiener cancer! Said if he knew now all the misery it would end up causing him , he would have cut it off!!

Moose and lightening are the two things I try to stay aware of up at the Colorado ranch when out running the fenceline.
