The world agrees. It has been duck weather today. Air and structures the same temp so there's no condensation. Clouds down to ankle height passing thru at 20-25 mph all day. Wondered why, now I know.

Time for the fireplace, a friend and good whiskey.

I love the Burris FFII also. I have never had one go belly up even on a .300 Winchester or .340 Weatherby.

Plastikkas and FFII's are made for each other.

This came my way and made me laugh a little. [bleep] this head cold. I guess I'm just going to sit on my ass and watch football and drink whiskey today frown


From: The International Council of Man Laws.

1: Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella.

2: It is OK for a man to cry ONLY under the following circumstances:
(a) When a heroic dog dies to save its master.
(b) The moment Angelina Jolie starts unbuttoning her blouse.
(c) After wrecking your boss's car.
(d) When she is using her teeth.

3: Any man who brings a camera to a stag night may be legally killed and peed on by his friends.

4: If you've known a guy for more than 24 hours, his sister is off limits forever unless you actually marry her.

5: Moaning about the brand of free beer in a buddy's fridge is forbidden. However complain at will if the temperature is unsuitable.

6: No man shall ever be required to buy a birthday present for another man. In fact, even remembering your buddy's birthday is huge gay.

7: When traveling together in a van or large SUV, the strongest bladder determines pit stops, not the weakest.

8: When stumbling upon another guy watching a sporting event, you may ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who's playing.

9: You may fart in front of a woman only after you have brought he rto climax. If you trap her head under the covers for the purpose of flatulent entertainment (commonly known as a Dutch oven), she's officially your girlfriend.

10: It is permissible to drink a fruity alcohol drink only when you're sunning on a tropical beach ... and it's delivered by a topless model and only when it's free.

11: Only in situations of moral and/or physical peril are you allowed to kick another guy in the nuts.

12: Unless you're in prison, never fight naked.

13: Friends don't let friends wear Speedos. Ever. Issue closed.

14: If a man's fly is down, that's his problem, you didn't see anything.

15: Women who claim they 'love to watch sports' must be treated as spies until they demonstrate knowledge of the game and the ability to drink as much as the other sports watchers.

16: A man in the company of a hot, suggestively dressed woman must remain sober enough to fight.

17: Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but not both, that's just greedy.

18: Never allow a telephone conversation with a woman to go on longer than you are able to have sex with her. Keep a stopwatch by the phone.Hang up if necessary.

19: The morning after you and a girl who was formerly 'just a friend' have carnal, drunken monkey sex. The fact that you're feeling weird and guilty is no reason for you not to nail each other again before the discussion occurs about what a big mistake it was.

20: It is acceptable for you to drive her car. It is not acceptable for her to drive yours.

21: Thou shall not buy a car in the colors of brown, pink, lime green, orange or sky blue..

22: The girl who replies to the question 'What do you want for Christmas?' with 'If you loved me, you'd know what I want!' gets an Xbox360. End of story.

23: There is no reason for guys to watch figure skating or Men's Gymnastics. Ever.

24: We've all heard about people having guts or balls. But do you really know the difference between them? In an effort to keep you informed, the definition of each is listed below:

'GUTS' is arriving home late after a night out with the guys,being assaulted by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to say, �Are you still cleaning or are you flying somewhere?�

'BALLS' is coming home late after a night out with the guys smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife squarely on the ass and having the balls to say, 'You're next fatty!'

I hope this clears up any confusion,

The International Council of Man Laws

Well, I thought maybe one last duck shoot was in the pooch.
Alas, I was too optimistic.
Dark. Wet. Windy. Perfect.
She was hacking on the way to the blind.
Tough walking in mud....she keeled over.
I thought that was it.......and hated my selfish self.
She lay there for a minute and kinda recovered.
We were nearly there, so I got her to the blind.
She was excited..........then the flight started.
She was alert and trembling as ducks circled and came in.
She would turn and look at me when they would land and nothing happened.
I knew by then that there would be no shooting today.
It was over........her last hunt had arrived.
I had known it was close.
It was closer than that.

We made it back to the rig slowly, stopping now and then, so she could rest. She needed a little help to get into the front of my truck.

Whiskey..........


Wage,

I'm truly sorry for you and what you'll be going through. But I know the good memories will balance out the days like today.

PM, call, or text me. I'll get you a check or MO in the mail monday. I'll either be in Chinook later this month, or have my brother pick it up before he comes home next. Unless you WANT to ship it. I don't give a [bleep] either way.

Damn dude...that sucks.

I'm going to be a wreck when it's my lab's time.

10 years ago I wouldn't have even considered letting a dog in the house. They were tools, not pets. Period.
When I got my current dog, that all changed and he may as well be my kid.

Your government at work.

Quote

Colorado officials are hoping the difference of one-hundredth of a mile will curb thefts of highway markers after the 420 mile marker sign along Interstate 70 was targeted multiple times.

Amy Ford of the Colorado Department of Transportation says the "MILE 420" sign near Stratton was stolen for the last time sometime in the last year, and officials replaced it with a sign that says "MILE 419.99."

The number "420" has long been associated with marijuana, though its origins as shorthand for pot are murky.

Ford says it's the only "420" sign to be replaced in the state that recently legalized recreational marijuana. Most highways aren't long enough to need one

Slave,

Sorry to hear your tale. Happy to know you have many good memories with her.

"The best friend a man has in the world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter whom he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name, may become traitors to their faith. The money that a man has he may lose. It flies from him perhaps when he needs it most. A man�s reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads. The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is the dog."

"...a man�s dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground when the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he can be near his master�s side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince."

"When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens. If fortune drives the master forth an outcast into the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard him against danger, to fight against his enemies. And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws and his eyes sad but open, in alert watchfulness, faithful and true, even unto death."


It ain't what you don't know that makes you an idiot...it's what you know for certain, that just ain't so...

Most people don't want to believe the truth~they want the truth to be what they believe.

Stupidity has no average...

Dang slave sorry to hear about the old girl. The demise of a good dog has brought many a good man to tears.
We all raise our glasses to that beautiful brunette that called you master.....

Carry on old girl and be proud of all days afield. You will be missed....
