When I was a kid growing up in the 1950's in a mill town, everybody on our block and throughout the town had coal furnaces. I hated shoveling up those large chunks of Bituminous coal from the sidewalk up to a landing and then into the "coal cellar."

-31 here in Illinois. The wind blew through a couple layers of clothes and it felt cool - even through my Carhart coat. I cannot imagine -50. Nothing moves here when it is real cold. I noticed the snow is more like sand when it is real cold. I chiseled a couple trap beds in some blow sand and the wind blew the snow and sand right back over my trap that was bedded in waxed dirt. No blending for those sets. It worked but lots more work to do. You guys are the real deal. Take care.

I spent 6 weeks there at baseball camp, it was a blast

Unfortunately, that's when I realized I was too small for the majors

Strange thing is Ole Miss and Suny offered me full scholarships after

I turned both of them down

Probably why you are so tough,,,, you got beet up every time the teacher called your name…..

(So I should have posted in the kind thread)

Anytime you have likely more than a million people that hunt every year, there will be accidents. With all the folks who hunt it seems safer than driving to work.

drives can be very effective , but you have to know your crew and they have to know the terrain and where drivers and standers are.
I see a lot of guys go bare minimum on legal orange , I can tell you that is a bad idea , you can see 100% orange coverage farther than you can see a vest that gets all wrincked and pulled so it isn't really even making minimum.
not sure what they had or didn't have and definitely not blaming , another thing is optics , guys run higher magnification and lose their view. shooting both eyes open , not getting target focus , staying only in your zone it all plays a role and you have to be able to pass the shots that are risky.


we lined back up every clearing or logging road so that we didn't have people out in-front , it was also hard working with other families they went much to fast.

sounds like they were firing out of their zones

they can be done safe , but so can climbing into a tree stand or handling your own gun those are the biggest killers in WI even though drives happen.



it takes a level of discipline

MJ it is but if you take to break dancing and singing falsetto I will un-follow you in a heartbeat!

We tried to get a couple of working/barn cats from a local shelter when we got down to one outside cat. There was a long questionnaire to fill out and they wanted a $35.00 "donation." They want you to be a farm or at least a "farmette" with a little bit of acreage.

They ultimately turned us down because they said my property was too close to a road. IDK if thy were fixed or not, but assume they are.

We ended up with four kittens from the neighbor, had them fixed and they are now good all good mousers.

This thread has certainly meandered about a bit. It now appears to be a dog selfie thread, LOL.

Angela you and Danny have both met this clown.. Sitka not me LOL!
