1/2 past the Year, July Coffee is here

Tried to shoot a squirrel with my big fish gun once. He was on the ground, and when the dust, dried leaves, flying rocks, etc finally settled, there was no squirrel anywhere to be found. Only reason for trying to shoot the squirrel, was no deer to be found. And my ex had earlier shot a squirrel with her 30-30(head shot, so still edible). New wife doesn't hunt or shoot, so I don't have that kind of "competition" anymore.

The last squirrel I shot, was a while ago. I spotted him at the top of a big Poplar, maybe 60-70 feet from where I was. I had my 22, iron sights, and tagged it. Watched it fall about half way, before it got stuck in the canopy. I can't repeat what I said. It was a beautiful shot though.

Afternoon all.

SAR training today.  We did orienteering the "old fashioned" way, with a map and compass.  Honestly, I like it better than the GPS, since the maps we use are A) the latest USGS topo maps with 40' contours, and B) have landmarks/ survey markers/ roads labeled.   The GPS only gives you a line on a 2D map with no labels, and 200' contours.   

The last squirrel I shot was about four months ago.  I used a 12ga with birdshot.  Unfortunately, I was a little too close, and there wasn't anything edible left.

It seems like I was seeping for at least a few days, but it was almost 2 years ago, and I can't be responsible for accuracy over that long a period. I do remember though, that I really didn't have much pain after waking up. I was in the ICU for a day, then picked up my stuff, and walked back to my regular room... which really ticked off the wife. She's a Nurse, and feels she knows more than me. I know if I can do something or not... and if not, I won't admit I was wrong

I was in icu 5 days this time- i have been out 5 days  and still seep thru the blow hole like the Great White. Chnge dressings and tee shirts 2 or 3 times a day. 


Slim bout the only rat hunting i have done the last couple years have been common barn rats. I use my Ruger Mk III iron sights. Sort of bought it dir tree rats  and rabbits but haven't yet. So i use a RAT gun for rats. :-)


Went and picked up a new Buck goat for a herd sire. He is only two months old but will learn as he grows. Busy day here.

And a Top O' the Mornin' to Y'all! It's cool, breezy, overcast... and the coffee is gone already. I think we may need a bigger coffee pot!

[Delmonico]

So if I get off at 5 pm why did I not pull up to the house till after 10?

[Capt Quirk]

Because, between Point A and Point B... there is a bar?

[litl rooster]

Because you went to the church cook out?


You stopped at the Orphans center and read bed time stories to them?



You volunteered at the Homeless Vets Facility and cooked a meal for them?


You saved a litter of Kittens after feeding them you rehomed all?



Your knitting class ran over?



Durn it Delmonico just tell us!

Yesterday was a beautiful day weather wise- back to Alabamy weather today. Gotta make a trip to town today.  Not that i want too. 1/2 hour each way and any delays while there seem to eat up half a day.  Need to change oil and filter in mower. It is all straight forward nothing needs removed first. Just need to do it.

The Commodore let you down ?

If i was a betting man, that is where i'd bet.



But i rather come up with things i can't see him doing

[litl rooster]

You delivered a baby for a couple stranded in Lincoln traffic gridlock?

[Capt Quirk]

Just plain forgot where you lived? They have bracelets with your address on them, in case that happens again...

[Delmonico]

I think worthless co-workers who don't come to work is the problem.   

[Capt Quirk]

Well, that was rather anti-climatic and not nearly as exciting as some of the guesses
