Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Your weekend plans....

Been busy moving into the house, but this weekend, we're kinda taking a break. Oh, we'll move some stuff today, but got other things to do also.

Today, they are having a fish fry to raise money for a young lady that was hurt in a car accident. Not her fault, but she's the one that's gonna pay for the other's mistake. Gonna help up there this morning.

Then tomorrow afternoon got a meeting about a planned community crawfish boil. I'm just guessing, but I'll probably volunteer to cook.

Then Monday evening, the neighboring town is having some folks, from LSU, do a class for the volunteer fire depts. I plan to attend this meeting/training session.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

mudbugs starting to come on the market pretty good?

I'm going to New Mexico to cultivate some elk hunting for this fall. It beats staying here and watching the robins breed!

There you go making me hungry for seafood again!

You needed a fun weekend without all the work of moving.

Have fun! Thanks for helping that young lady out.


I'm done clearing the pad site for the new house.

Gonna spend the weekend clearing brush from under the live oaks on the north side of the pad.

Pulling brush, then moving and making brush piles to burn later with the grapple.

Puller...

Chores, I help some, move some hay. Chores Sunday morning, church, a big Pow wow after on merging.

As a retiree, I do not golf or fish on weekends. Weekends are for all you working stiffs to wedge in some fun.

I'll be meeting a Marine former fighter jock for lunch today, but that's all I have on the agenda.

Putter in the garden.

Put in some green beans. Mebbe some yellow squash.

Planted a few tomatoes and an assortment of peppers for the war department thur & fri.

Kid, to be honest, I don't know. I'm up here in 'the far northern territory' of Louisiana and have been working on finishing and moving into the house. Usually, and this year shouldn't be any different from what I've seen, mudbugs are available, but costly, this time of the year. After Easter, the price will come down and more will be available. It's the old supply and demand thing.

Just not going to work for two days. That's enough to make me smile!

They are "Dust Bugs" down here this year...

I used to get a 5 lb plate of whole-boiled, and could easily polish all of them off. I really miss a lot of Louisiana things!

Work in the shop and pet the dog.

No chores today, we're going shopping for a new travel trailer. We'll swing by the our younger daughters place in Davis county and pick up my son-in-law and grandson who'll join us for the day, then we'll head down to Salt Lake City to look at an Arctic Fox and whatever else strikes our fancy. At some point I'll get tired and grumpy from dealing with RV salesmen (the lowest form of life) and we'll head to dinner with the kids before returning home.

Tomorrow is supposed to be rain/snow, so chores are out then too. We'll likely have my older daughter and her kids over for dinner tomorrow and play a few games. Other than that I'll be playing with the Arrowhead Gen2 LRMP Breech Plug System I picked up for a Paramount muzzleloader.

Right now I'm getting ready to jump on my bicycle and try to wear our dog out so he'll be ready to chill in the back of the car today while we look at rv's.

Looking this over I realize this is going to be a "messin' around" weekend.

Work. Not much else to do for another week or 2. Then Maple Syrup festivals, trout season, and turkey huntin starts.

Did you get a new dog.

Yes. She's a pretty girl but she needs some work to get rid of a couple of bad habits from the previous so called owners.

Here with the gang hunting hogs in south Texas. Last night was a show put on by Doc and LT with guitars around the fire. Sipping coffee this AM rather than sitting in a blind as it was a late night... Hunt this evening, head to the San Antonio airport in the morning dropping off Joe then home to see my son who is home for spring break.

Got a table at the Nampa, ID gun show this weekend so I'll be having the following conversation repeated ad infinitum:

"Will you take (asking price - 50%) for that?"

"No, but I'd take (asking price - some single digit%)"

"Okay, well, lemme think about it..."

here in Minnesota its still winter so today i am loading ammo for my 25 Creedmoor about 50 rounds ,for Sundays winter rifle shoot in Central Minnesota.

And installing a Leupold 1.5X4 on my new 444..
