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…

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…
-
Mornin' BBB Well, shucks. DS#2 came down with a bug on Christmas and has been quarantined since then. He looks a little better this morning, hopefully he is on the road to recovery. We are supposed to do a western dinner theater tonight with the kids and inlaws. He may actually have a good excuse not to go, LOL. Hopefully…
-
Mornin' gents. Wonderful Christmas and prime rib. DSIL's DM made prosciutto wrapped endives with some sort of cheese sauce that was sublime. DS#1 nailed the prime rib. I actually did track everything, including the nuts and dried fruit before dinner. The First and the Third after the Third got a bath after getting a tab…

Mornin' BBB Luv me sum Tucker! Met the neighbor, yesterday. Kind of a cranky old sot, but I think we will ne friends. Birds of a feather and all that. Says our little slice of heaven used to be crawling with rattle snakes, but with the development of 5 acre plots over the years has significantly affected the rattler…

Merry Christmas gents. God bless us, every one.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah BBB So what is the penalty for SA on a donkey? We had Xmas Eve dinner at our place last night. M didn't cook, she just heated up high end deli pre made dishes. The lasagna and lobsta mac and cheese were heaven. The kiddo was the center of attention. God bless us, every one.

Afternoon gents. It is big country and the views are pretty amazing. It would be cool if we were just a wee bit further from urban sprawl. DW likes the availability of all the shopping options that come with urban sprawl. 15 min from a Walmart. That is closer than we are to one in CT. Prayers for Joanne and Sam. Congrats…

Mornin' BBB (((Carrie))) Love the Chinese Auction gift exchange where gifts can be stolen! Lots of fun. Merry Christmas Eve and Happy Hanukkah (very late this year) tomorrow. Sing strong, Dave. View of DS#2 and the girls in front of Monument Rock, Monument CO. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' BBB Rolled into Monument last night in time to have dinner with DS#1, DGS, DDIL, and her 'rents. Early to bed, but got up early with M. I usually sleep in a hour or so after she gets up. Waiting for sunrise here to get a shot of our view of the mountains in the morning sun. Our neighbors have horses :) Heading to…
