Normally I’m a function over form kinda fella. But this half-assed, bullshit, lazy goddamn plow installation that I payed over $1600 for to have a fuckin bracket self-tapped front and center into the bumper of my new fuckin truck has me a bit hot. Rant off. New bumper pending. They just don’t know it yet.

No dog in the hunt, but raise hell. I’m guessing you’re like us, but to hire something done is a treat as opposed to always doing it yourself. I’ve grown weary of having high expectations dashed by so called professionals. Shit gets old.

 

[Tucker301]

We put about 1500 miles on that Durango and saw a lot of great things, and one very special friend out in Montrose.
It was a fantastic trip, but I was missing the humidity.

We had some amazing experiences in Colorado last week, but the Durango - Silverton train ride was by far the coolest!

I feel your pain. Not 1600 but, I had the creeper towed a couple weeks ago. They smashed the trailer plug on the bottom of the hitch. I tak Jamie to take it in to have them put a new plug on. $75 later the plug is on, because I was still on the road. She brings it out and I go to hook it up to a trailer for her to take home, the damn thing is wired wrong!!?

If I had time to do it myself I wouldn’t have paid someone else to it. And they charged her even though they are the ones that busted it off on the tow...

Opening day of rifle deer this morning.
Elk season was a bust, elk had shut up and we seen a shit ton of cat sign. Actually had 2 scream at us when we were bugling.

Nice sun rise this morning. Hopefully deer season is better.

It appears the worst is over, time to shovel out. First 2 passes on the driveway....

Driveway depth ranged from 12"-32". I like to get out into the street, that way when the plows come through there's less to land in the driveway. Still wet and heavy, tough to throw any distance. On left is the front bumper of the Little Red Ranger Money Pit. Blew that out now sitting in driveway.

Grew some snow cones in the back yard...

Should have drew some faces on them. Temps in the 50's with sun in the next few days, everybody should be shoveled out by then, roads will be open for the most part.

Life in Upper Dakota.

 

[Snuby642]

Same coldfront in Texas put me in long pants at home first time in 6 months.

That excludes going out some times but you (get the drift) or lack of. Lol

Early for that much snow in one storm?

Early and a lot, yes, but not unusual. This happens every few years, at this time of the year most of the snow will be gone in 7-10 days. The bad part this year is that the ground is already saturated, there will be flooding in areas.

You sure got dumped on!

Yup, we did. Our little slice of ground was smack dab in the middle of the worst of it. I'm thinking the final average tally will record 24". We still have robins around and the geese aren't moving south , so it ain't winter yet.

Agreed. Looks like we’ll face off again in the Big 12 ship.

Cant disagree about the hippies. That’s a fact. Also a fact that UT graduates it’s football players with degrees; can’t say that about OU ?

 

[powdahound76]

I root for UT from history, not because they are leftist nutjobs.

Momma is a graduate (full honors) so I support her.
I root for Texas Tech in basketball for family reasons.

I could give a darn about the sports, but showing good food like those wings and swilling some good beers is pretty fun. As is any time I spend with momma or other family.

Yeah that’s no shit. There will be bulls everywhere now.

Lol yeah I usually stick to a big two point minimum. Seen a nice one yesterday before rifle deer started and of corse he doesn’t show up today ?.
Not going to make it out tonight, painting the baby’s room.
Damn vacation is almost over. Been off for 8 days and still go 2 left. Then back to work.

 

[Bryan W M]

Don't have my son this weekend.
So spent 0615 to 0945 in a tree.
7 doe 2 buck. This little one was still with momma.

Spent the rest of the day digging and playing with 960 lb. of concrete.

For those lucky enough to have their kids tonight give them a extra huge, it sucks not having my boy.

[Mooseknuckles]

Ain’t that the truth.
I have a dandy 2 point that’s been in my yard for the last week. Neighbors would be pissed if I shot it. My suppressor need to hurry up and get here ?

[powdahound76]

@Bryan W M

Good day there sir.

And yes it does suck.
Been there a lot if times.
Funny how when I was married and did everything related to house and kid, I used to wish for even 6 hrs of free time to reload or work on a project that was something I wanted and didnt have to do.
Now I have that time and I dont like it one damn bit.

Sorry you have to deal with that this weekend.


I had a handful of “must do” chores this AM, then took all the kids to a movie, the park, and ice cream (sorry about ruining their dinner appetites momma.....?) as momma is still struggling with bronchitis (3 weeks now) and now has a head cold on top of it.....

Cougar.
They are been all over the place this year. My buddy has had 3 scream at him this year.
Here’s a big cat print.

[armorpl8chikn]

Yesterday's view:

Unfortunately I didn't shoot the match. Just RO for the day and some spotting and coaching. Seemed to make me miss competing that much more. Neck and shoulders were killing me before day's end, actually shooting the match would have been more than I could have done.

Still had a good time with old friends.

Lol. That was morning. Early relays are usually best. Had a few shootoffs after noon and wind was a bit more tricky.

 

[Mooseknuckles]

Really! getting in the way of mowing my lawn.

 

[1J04]

Moose, you know the lucky bastard that killed this dandy out around Lebam I believe? What a toad!

I know the Family name, but don't know none of them.

 

[1J04]

Buck of a lifetime for a Blacktail around here. DAMN!?

 

[Mooseknuckles]

Jesus that is a toad of a buck! Yeah I know him. Actually know the whole family pretty well. Bet he got it up forks creek.
That big two point was at 8 yards under my apple tree. Wife told me go get your bow and stick him.
Only problem is the neighborhood I live in I know everyone really well and my buddy’s dad would chew my ass. Everyday actually, I work with him.

 

[1J04]

I just got a Doe n 2 fawns right now.?

And some shrooms!?

Venison and shrooms! Does it really get any better?

how do you cook those

 

[tnichols]

Late afternoon view of east central Iowa. A little exercise for the ol’ wreck prior to it’s annual inspection.

 

[1J04]

how do you cook those

Pan fry slow n low by themselves to remove a bunch of water. Then pour out water, toss in some butter, salt n pepper, onion and garlic, fresh. Can put a tad of EVOO as well. Put on steak or burgers or just eat as a side. Chanterelles are incredibly tasty!
