Mornin' gents. DDIL swears the kid will be a veterinarian. I imagine he'll enjoy hunting too, but he'll for sure enjoy working with spaniels. Can you play Piano Man, Mike? I don't think Billy Joel knows the intricacies of the piano like you do. The internal workings of the piano are much more complicated than I ever knew.…

Mornin' gents. DGS with his nanny dog. Taken yesterday morning before the final vet visit. Hoo-boy :'( Bob, I am sure EVERYBODY knows you. You are an icon. Cleaning day. Then a young couple with young daughter coming over this afternoon to look at the property. She is my practice manager and the hope is we can sell to her…

Mornin' BBB So did you guys drive to Costa Rica, Steph? Definitely a bucket list destination for me. Today is cleaning day and then friends over for cocktails and dinner. Probably won't get to watch any football. Got all the mail from Post Office that they held while I was away. Huge bundle, some professional magazines and…

Mornin' BBB Werking today. Getting a dusting right now. I'm just happy the wind died down. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' gents. Today would be a good day to fish the hard water, I imagine. Not that it would ever be on my agenda, but maybe for Mike. I am working this morning, then I plan on doing some training with the girls this afternoon. Sad day for DDIL. Her 12 yr old great dane mix has reached her expiration date. A vet that…

Mornin' BBB Good luck to Skip. Good luck to Kris. Prayers for Joanne. R knee looks real ugly of xray. Date set for Feb 17th. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' gents Congrats on the arrival of the POD. Now to get it unpacked. Well wishes for a succesful surgery for DB, Mike. Funny what plumber advised on fixing Ex's toilet. Hope Joanne is feeling OK. Got knee replacement set up for Feb 17th. Xrays were ugly. Biannual with Primary was good. Onward and downward ;-)

I was back to half days at work in less than two weeks last time. 4 weeks before working full days.

Mornin' gents. Chef Steven :) I'm having venison tenderloin medallions in a cumberland sauce tonight. 18º here, but the wind chill brings it down to 2º (sigh) The wind is killing me. The dogs are not fond of it, either. Seeing ortho and primary today. Looking to set up knee replacement. Had first one done 7 years ago. Time…

Mornin' BBB Enjoy your prep day, Skip. Ha. Seeing ortho and primary today. Looking to set up knee replacement. Had first one done 7 years ago. Time to do the other one. Cold and windy. I can deal with cold, but the wind is killing me. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' BBB I know peeps that eat out pretty much all the time at establishments that serve huge portions and eat on the take home portions. Dennis, I am sure that you have perused the internet, but I found this website www.dreamrescue.org Website looks reputable, but you never know unless you go there or at least talk to…

Mornin' gents. 19° here. Microburst blew the metal grill gondola off my elevated back deck last night. Made a huge racket, and I knew immediately what happened as I laid in bed. Right over the railing and over the gas grill, the gondola was standing over the pellet smoker on the other side of deck. Hanging utensils…

Mornin' BBB Saw that about Etta Mae. May she R.I.P. Leo is an exhibitionist. Cold with a light dusting here. Good to be back to work. Missed my crew. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' gents. Snowy, tell us a little about yourself. I live in NW CT, married to a powerful 112 lb lady, two grown sons, and a toddler grandson. This board started on Weight Watchers message boards back in the mid to late 2000's, then when WW shut down their message boards, we moved the board over here to MFP. I've been…

Mornin' BBB Harvested a couple does and headed home this am. Cringing at the thought of all the catch up stuff at the practice. Wagons ho! BBB OP ;-)

Interesting Mike. I grew up in a culture out in Oklahoma where most everyone hunted. I have noticed after spending almost 50 years in the NE, that hunters are spread a lot thinner. It appeared to me that betting (illegal in the beginning) was much more popular. The hunting community is still a strong presence, but the fall…

(((Joanne)))

Welcome Snowyjr1 We're here every day. Even whe we're sitting in the woods. My afternoon is not going well. It could be worse. I could be in a tree stand instesd of a blind.

Mornin' gents Rolled in to Winchester VA last night. Sitting in a shoot house this am. Chilly. Sun is now up and hoping the deers come oit to feed on the sprouting alfalfa before they bed down gor the day. Sounds like you and Heather are having fun staring your new chapter in life, Bill. Surprised that SWMBO didn't already…

Shhhh...be vewy, vewy quiet. Been in the shoot house since 20 minutes before first light. Seen deer already but not where I could take a shot. Rolled into Winchester last night from St Louis. Tis a bit chilly. Liverwurst is a good suggestion. Wascaly deer.

Mornin' BBB Happy New Year. Same as above, but had entertainment by a 17 month old, and it was surprisingly good take out Thai (not a single Asian in the place, not even in the kitchen), blueberry port and stilton, and then DDIL made a glorious coconut cake for M. Used up all my weeklies and went into the negative because…

Mornin' gents. I will likely be in bed by 9 pm. M's birthday today. She requested Thai take out to avoid New Year's Eve crowds. Plus allows her more unconfined play time with DGS. Hitting the road tomorrow for Virginia. A two day trek. Onward and downward ;-)

Mornin' BBB Left M a few little things in a big "Happy Birthday" bag on the kitchen counter overnight. She gets up first and makes the coffee. Big smile for me when I crawled out of the bedroom. I logged onto my Fantasy Football league page this morning to discover that my team survived Monday Night football and I AM THE…

Mornin' BBB Skip must have gotten distracted. Hope it wasn't a Tucker GI incident or the HOA Karen knocking on his door to complain about a too bright porch light. Mild head cold is annoying me. Used up all my points last week. Tracked every morsel. Not pretty. Safe travels to Ron and Steph. M didn't get to see DGS…

Mornin' gents. Timeline is set, Steve. Gave my word, so long as health holds, and my health seems to be actually improving (knock on wood). Glad you and Connie had a nice Anniversary. Hardwater fishing time. Hope you get out, Mike. Sounds like good news on the piano. Sorry to hear you are battling aches and pains, Bill.…

Happy 35 years, Steve and Connie!

Mornin' BBB Pheasant hunt was way cool. Dogs and hoomans did well. Preserve was set about 50 miles east/north est of Colorado Springs in a very remote area. Last 30 miles was mostly unpaved roads. Meanwhile Laddy went to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo! DS#2 is finally feeling better, but scheduled to hop on a plane back to NYC…

Mornin' gents. Preserve pheasant hunt was fun and exhausting. Traipsed over 4 miles in 2.5 hrs. Birds were running around like rabbits. The three of us harvested 15 pheasant, legal for a preserve hunt, the pheasant were stocked. Lots of meat for the freezer. Looks like a place I will likely join once I am out here full…

Mornin' BBB Hail Marley's. LOLOLOLOL. Going on a pheasant hunt today with DDIL dad and DS#1. DS#2 still not feeling good. Babe and Lucy are busting with enthusiasm. Another sunny day in Colorado. Does Leo flush or point birds? Sam, how is Joanne feeling? When does she start treatment? Mary, I felt so sorry for your…

Mornin' gents. Praise God, Sam! Well, Mike, he's a future something, LOL. I am completely smitten with the wee lad. Poor DS#2 has been hit hard with a GI bug and is in quarantine. Watching DS#1 and DDIL parenting is interesting. DDIL is a bit more relaxed than M was, and DS#1 is a better hands on dad with the boy at this…
