She is my little girl so if she wanted to Scotch tape my eyebrows I would probably let her, I would stab 1J with a rusty butter knife for less. The shit my kids get away with.
@Dirty D - been there. Many times. And lipstick. And bows in my hair. All kinds of stuff. Dads with good relationships with daughters is a good thing. A damn good thing.
@MosesTheTank - there was a guy buried in an inbounds slide in the chutes (1 I think) last week. Have a couple friends who live there. Patrollers and doctors and such.
If the snow is deep enough and you’re a good skier, look for someone to take you into Fish Creek.
The big drops into deep powder and those of legends. And the loose trees are like being at Mike Wiegle’s in Canada.....
go big, take chances!!

Never fault a man for wearing long britches. Probably means he’s an ambitious type and is getting work done. I suffer in the heat and humidity of Iowa summers, so I wear shorts to keep from coming unbuckled. The minute jeans/overalls became comfortable from a temperature standpoint, I’m happy as a pig in shit.
Just as I suspected. You can't catch hand fed fish in a barrel.....just pathetic.
Did you even try to match the hatch?
Next time try a #6 fish chow fly pattern.
?
Expanding bait never fails, as long as there are fish around.....
Was up at 0000 on 12/28, couldn't sleep. Got on up and started predating for my day.
Had told my 85yr old momma she was not gonna drive 268 miles to her oldest brother's 90th. Volunteered to chauffeur her to the party and back.
Left at 0700, just rolled back in at straight up 0200.
First stop before visiting some aunt's and cousins was Nahunta pork center.
10lbs semi dried mild natural cased sausage
3 lbs cracklings(not skins, cracklings. If you call skins cracklings, you don't know hog from buffalo)
8lbs natural cased smoked sausage
4 lbs souse
On to the party at 1830hrs. All seven of momma's surviving siblings were there. Likely saw a few for the last time this side of the grave.
Am beat, dog tired...John Koffee tired.
It was worth it.

I thought you were from the south. Ain’t never once heard a guy call them cracklings. Now cracklins, those I know ?
Auto correct. I noticed, but I was just too give out to correct it to proper southern.
I use a machine called super split.
I so highly recommend it. There is no way a mere mortal can out pace the machine.
Don't get the DR, a local guy here did, to save some money and it was down in a month.
Hopefully this year I will manufacture a box wedge splitter w conveyor and log lift.
Log lift will cut down on my saw time
And conveyor will eliminate the hands on portion of the piling of wood.
The snow started about 5:30 am today, these photos are about 30 minutes ago. Right now we've added around 8-9" to the current pack, forecast looks to be 12" and up, depending on the location.
School across the street.
The drift out by backdoor has grown 3'. NW wind wraps over the roof and drops snow right out the door in the bunny feedlot. Eastern 1/3 of the state is mostly shut down, either no travel advised or closed roads.
Sounds like things are going to settle down tomorrow mid-day. Snowblower is gassed up, ready to go. Life on the Great Plains.

The 1K target’s view of me. He’ll never see it coming ?. That’s my Hooterville home brewed rattle can camo on the back side (cornstalk, mud, and snow). Hopefully keeps them less noticeable and sprouting legs.
Took a couple of beers and burritos out to go watch the sunset with Rebecca.
It was 79* and just perfect outside.
Sitting in the back of the truck on a small rise overlooking the Alafia river.
Sun on its way down.
A few minutes after sundown on the drive home.
And just a little hog damage along the river.
I need to give that landowner a call.

Sunset is beautiful. Sit out there again, enjoy the sunset, then thump those pigs with thermal or NV!
Ssshhhhh!!!! He ain’t far from me right now ?

It was a Christmas, that I doubt the boys will ever forget.

4 30 pm, has dropped from 115 F to 85 F in just over an hour, can now think about going out the back to see if there are any birds around the fruit trees.
Storms with 65 mph winds hit about 4am, 20,000 without power in Ohio! Thank God for whole house generator I'm not one of them. 
7:20 AM over 30,000 outages!

My good friend is a big cattle raiser in a different part of Iowa. He bails cornstalks for bedding in pens.
Just drops the bail in after cleaning pen, pops the net, and uses the fork on the front end loaded to tear it up and spread it around a bit.

Mushrooms sauteed with garlic anyone?
Looks like my kind of area. I'm just on the North side of Tucson in the Catalina Foothills.
Still need to find some good isolated shooting spots where I live though.
Sun set the sky on fire in Kentucky this evening. The bottom layer of clouds were lit up from one horizon to the other
Yes. They are ground up in a large tub grinder and mixed with corn silage and rolled high moisture corn along with a protein supplement to complete the ration for feedlot cattle. They have little nutritional value but provide the roughage to scratch the rumen. They bale about 4500 of them every fall as they are a fairly large feeder.
Scratch the rumen? Is that like finding the clit?
Two completely different systems
I see a propane hose. Are you allowed to play with propane?

Last day of the year gives us mid 60 degree weather. I hope it’s not a sign of shit weather to come.
In her favorite spot (it’s not bad). New Years Eve after too many birthdays. No propane ?
Rung in the new year with the big gasser this morning at 760 yards. Nice change of pace from a steady diet of bolt rigs.
Love the setting and the truck! Probably warm too!
