Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Who’s up early on Saturday?

Little chilly, 19*, here this morning. Got to get the fire going in the shop. Wood splitting duty today.

Having our first real frost of the winter here in SE VA. Not much winter. Had an inch of snow yesterday, woopee!!

21 here this morning. Getting ready to go call a coyote and then wait around for the co-op to come and spread fertilizer on hay and pasture ground. Ordinarily, I do that myself, but in my "golden years" I'm finding myself getting lazy.

Packed the truck to take some recycling to the dump then off to the airport to move the new engine that arrived yesterday from Lycoming for the Archer from the FBO hangar to our hangar. Then taking the plane out for a short flight to get a couple instrument approaches in to stay current on it's old engine.

Next weekend starts the old engine removal and new install as well as the annual inspection. With willing hands it won't take too long. Couple of weekends.

4 here with snow on the way tonight.

A chilly 61 degrees in friged Phoenix Arizona at 4:30. Four kids. If I want to get anything done for myself I need to start early.

Up at 6 which is unusually late for me, to 26 degrees and crisp. Fed dogs, set the fire, put on a cup of coffee, and set down to plan the day.

No alarm today. Slept in until 6a. Normally alarm goes off at 4a. Shaman's thermometer says 21*F.

up at 0430 this morning. have my son and family visiting the farm this weekend and grandson wanted to coyote hunt this morning. told them to be up at 0530 and we'd leave around 0600. son just told me grandson wanted to sleep in. so, they went back to bed. no problem. we'll shoot some guns around noon and go coyote calling around 3pm. always love it when kids and grandkids come here. today will be another great family day. we are blessed....

Yes, sounds like a true blessing. I get to see my son about 2X per month, still miss him when he is gone to his own home.

Just waiting on the sun. Gonna be cold on the water.

Been up for a couple of hours. Enjoyed my coffee and decided to get my chores done and go to a gun show.

goin' after croaker? or hardheads?



just pullin' your chain, Pat
Be safe out there today. dodge client's treble hooks!

I hate that! When I was first married we could sleep 12 hours on Saturday and Sunday. Then we had kids. That was the end of sleeping late.

Morning gents. Usually up between 5 and 6. Going to granddaughters hockey game this afternoon. Going to barbecue steak here for supper. Sunrise 758 CST. Really warm today 40 degrees Fahrenheit they say. 15 degrees Fahrenheit now.

Up at 5, headed to the city today to buy JM Marlin 336 , pre safety, nice gun at great price, can't wait Robert

Yep, up at 4:30 every morning 7 days a week

Me too.

Dammit.

Gonna be a nap day...

Same here.

23F right now and rumored to hit 50F this afternoon, too warm as it was -20F a few days ago!


Same old chit today, feed cows(4-5 hours) and sometime today the hay chopper is supposed to show up. We are gonna chop about 70 ton for the replacement heifers, if he brings the big chopper that'll take a couple hours.


There's a lunker tri-tip roast and some beer in the fridge for later this afternoon!

Up at 5 today. Up at 4 on workdays, so I slept in an hour. Today, we be burnin' the slash piles around the place. Tomorrow, on the other hand, I have a pork shoulder I'm going to smoke! Like Sam, plenty of beer in the fridge for after the real work and during cooking duties!
