Computer busted (literally) and I just ordered a new one so I'm glad I saw this! I'm gonna try and make it. Probably be up close to all night so we'll see.

...Unless any snow we get accumulates, then I gotta work.

We don't care what you do behind closed doors. But, if it is interfering with giving proper notice, maybe you should cut back a little. :):p

There are those that would be appreciative if you would take your extra curricular activities behind closed doors and as for giving notice, please stop - nobody can read your handwriting any way. :uhoh:

Ever wonder what this bunch of dog hunters do to my roads when I'm not there to run them off.
This is my main road that leads to my machine shed (where the tractor and other implements are kept) and down to the edge of my first farm where the pasture land is. The ruts were so deep I didn't go to the pastures.

It forks at the machine shed and goes back a mile to my house.

It'll take me a week to regrade the roads and haul in enough gravel to fill the wallows.
NO TRESPASSING is not French for welcome:mad:

This will work, Peter.

Might be some liability issues though. :uhoh:

Next hunting season might consider a game camera along that road - get some license numbers. :D

I've got one there but they're on to it after the last bunch was arrested. It keeps getting mud on the lens and I can't really hide it along that road.

I did catch one in person and have video of it.
I have year to charge him but am going to show that video and a few others to the Agriculture Committee that wants to give Falcon Hunters the same rights as dog hunters.

Nice breakfast this morning.

Grapeshot, Skidmark, Peter Nap, Curtis, xdm guy, sidestreet, and I attended.

My vote is to try and get a large round table again when we return . Much easier to hear and talk to everyone.

Overheard: "Oh! They all have guns!"

ETA: The ducks in the stormwater pond were a no show. Perhaps they heard I was coming.:)

Great Cliff Notes of past week events, doings and happenings and yes, definitely prefer the "round table" discussion.

Wish I had heard that statement - like to have introduced myself and chatted a bit. We also all had jackets - guess we were just being protected from the elements. :D
