I was at my local gun shop last evening. I go there just to hang out a bit once in a while. Anyway I was looking at handguns and fell in love with the new Ruger sr40c sub compact 40s&w. It sure felt good in my hand. I also for some silly reason grabbed a shotgun off the rack. It was a new mossberg 835 ulti-mag. It handles 2 3/4 3 or 3 1/2 shells. Came with various chokes and was a nice gun. Anyway it at one time was a combo, but the slug barrel had been sold separately which was fine with me, as I have no use at all for a slug gun. Long story short, the shotgun came home with me for 315 dollars plus tax. I thought a pretty good price as I have been researching it since I got it home. The ruger has my name on it now, and I will pick it up in a couple weeks for 425.00. Gotta love toys.

If your application is rejected, you will be notified by two gentleman wearing white ties carrying violin cases. (you might watch your back) To prepare yourself, start studying Daddy's Rules for Dating Daddy's Rules for Dating Your dad's rules for your boyfriend (or for you if you're a guy) : Rule One: If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up. Rule Two: You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them.. Rule Three: I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist. Rule Four: I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a 'Barrier method' of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate, when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you. Rule Five: It is usually understood that in order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is: 'early.' Rule Six: I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry. Rule Seven: As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process than can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge . Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car? Rule Eight: The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing or holding hands. Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka - zipped up to her throat. Movies with a strong romantic or sexual themes are to be avoided; movies which feature chain saws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folks homes are better. Rule Nine: Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a potbellied, balding, middle-aged, dimwitted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me.

Geeze !!! You guys are starting to sound like a bunch of wash women. Relax. You're psyching yourselves out. The turkeys WILL be somewhere. Unless they fly south for the spring......

here i am

Showed up already! Nice looking cams.Will have to give a report on a field test in the trail cam forums.

This is me during bow season last year. Here I am with my first double in 07.

First one is 2010 second was 2007.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: "Fathom the hypocrisy of a Government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured ... but not prove they are a citizen." Unknown.

The court wasnt put there to hold up the ideals of a bunch of Utopian Liberals or Ultra Conservative wackos, its there to uphold the Constitution that this country was founded upon.

Looks like its all under control / out now.

Well since you posted one not in the feld then I'm gonna post another too. Here's one of me and my son early this morning sitting under the cherry tree admiring the view.

Good stuff, Steve. Those last few pounds are always the hardest. Keep it up!

For healthcare - occupy a job

With the great job the Feds have done with SOcial Security and the Post Office.....why wouldn't I want them to handle my family's medical needs? What coupld possibly go wrong?

It is early in the season so the woods have a good chance at regrowth. Most animals will leave the area but some young birds and turtles will be lost. last I heard several homes were gone and a building. The National Guard and other helicopters will most likely be put into service tommorrow. Hoping for a quick extiguishing of the blaze and the safety of the firefighters.

In a some what related topic, the success of Hunger Games has people picking up archery all over. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the story, it's a teenage book about a post-apocalyptic world where children are annually thrown into an arena to kill each other in a contest. The main character (Katniss) ends up in the games and leading the rebellion. Her key to survival was that her father taught her how to hunt with the bow in order to feed herself and the family. The story is now the new "Twilight" and teens and young adults are going crazy for all things "Hunger Games" including taking up archery. And yes, that is why my niece got interested in hunting and archery and I bought her a bow this past Christmas. http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012-03-30/news/31263086_1_hunger-games-katniss-everdeen-archery-ranges
