  1. 15 years old today Not sure how long ago I posted about this pup’s failing health (eyesight, hearing, balance is shot) but we’ve been blessed to have him for so long. Lately he has been having some accidents in the house and is up quite a bit throughout the night but today is a day to celebrate!!! I will try to dig up some old pics later. Soft serve vanilla ice cream cone is on the menu for him today- his all time favorite treat that he gingerly eats off the cone like a child. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  6. 94 acre lease in Chautauqua Co. 50 acres in Wyoming county that a friend owns and doesn't hunt, we are the only ones with access. Chautauqua is a new property for us this year and it is looking promising. We pulled the card on only one of the 5 cameras yesterday, lots of fawns and does and 5 decent bucks. This is one of them, I'm getting excited!!!

  8. Shot in an AsA qualifier at Evans today.....was a last minute decision so I shot as a walk on since I am not available next weekend to shoot in the championships. Not a bad round of 291. I am guessing since 12 rings are in play you need to shoot North of 330 in Hunter class to end up near the top. This was target 30 at 3o yards.....ended up with a 10 and missed the 12 ring by millimeters. Felt good to get a round in today. Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk

  12. I don't think its too much if he is self motivated Dave. And he is just that good that it may pay for the next level. I give him huge credit for being so driven. A quality that seems to be lacking in some youth.

  13. Might be a good thing Apexer for many reasons. Most of all, she will have plenty of real play time in competition. I never understood kids that, for example, played varsity as a sophomore only to sit the bench. Different story if you are starting. Be a star at JV with lots of play time and move up the next year where you can shine again. Hope she is taking it well.

  14. Well, she didn't make the "select" team. They want her on what they call the competitive team. My daughter was crushed but as the kids reached out to each other my daughter was realizing that nobody she spoke too so far that was on the team last year made the team this year. So now I am wondering if this is going to be an every other year even with this team. The girls make it when they are on the "older" side of the division and play down when they are younger. So far not one girl my daughter has spoken too that had to move up into the U16 age bracket has made the team. The coach called me, with all the "how great your daughter is at soccer" "I think being on this team for a developmental year will be the right thing for her" etc. These girls tied for first place in EDP which is the best teams in the East Coast region and all these girls contributed to that success. Kinda stinks that they just throw them on a lower team for a year until they are older.

  15. On the cape this week. No pic but after a day at the beach stopped at the fish market on way back to house. Cooked up some shrimp, scallops, cod, crab cake, stuffed quahog and some beach bread. It was good..

  16. Good Lord, I cant believe 40 years has gone by already. I met Doreen way back in 1976. One of our earliest dates was fishing on the Oak Orchard River in a rented aluminum boat. I think I turned her into an outdoors girl. Two daughters, four grandchildren (and counting). 40 years ago we said “I do”, and we still do!

  17. I've never seen the show, but sounds like from this thread the folks are in cold weather area? Sub Arctic maybe? Anyway; cold and hot environments can be actually easier to preserve meat and can have one thing in common.....dry environments ( think about how low the humidity gets in really cold weather even here in NY). Actually there is a good example of Alton Brown (food network) making jerky not with warm, but laying his strips on a box fan. Yes salt speeds up the process, and by drying fast reduces potential bacteria, but if conditions are right is not necessary to produce dried meat even without salt or salt type preservatives like sodium nitrates or nitrites. This is 2 mens work overnight on the start of drying about 2 TONS (4000 lbs) of meat off one animal in 80* nights and 105* days; maybe about one quarter that they processed over the next 3 days. BUT area hasn't seen rain in 7 months and extremely low humidity levels. Next to no insect life present. No salt required.....reconstituted in water like a stew in the end and stored in burlap sacks in the rafters. Most pieces about the size of a thumb, 2-4 feet long and draped over wire.

  18. I keep thinking what an awesome left tackle he will be, but you are right, baseball may be the better focus of the two.

  19. Gramps - If your grandson is 6-5” and 220lbs at 15 years old, barely anyone will “catch up” to him in size. If he’s throwing a legit 87mph, he needs to go full force for baseball. D1 should be a backup plan. There’s no reason why with the right training and showcase recognition, that he will not improve his throwing speed/mechanics over the next 2 full years. Therefore, he will be drafted and then can decide D1 or take the $ and start in the minors. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  20. Awesome .when I was.little I would bring home spotted salamanders all the time . My dad would let them go when I fell asleep . Just like anything I brought home lol . My mom hated me.

I would bring home worms , rabbits , frogs, turtles , snakes ,fawns,raccoons,kittens ,fish, tadpoles, even had a puppy in my closet for 3 days before they found it . Lol

  22. If he is smart he will build a smoker and jerk it. That should preserve it fine, especially since cold temps are coming. I would jerk it and then rehydrate during cooking like in a soup.

  24. if they're really good and have potential it's no secret. as long as they know they don't have to be and that at this stage in the game there's always going to be someone bigger, fast, better, etc they'll be alright. there's just little true guidance and over sight at the level they're at. it's easy to be told unrealistic dreams and be encouraged to push too hard. i have multiple cousins that were star athletes. best in their divisions in HS and multiple offers from colleges. no one stood a chance to go all the way. most though enjoyed the ride while it lasted and got free schooling out of it. stayed humble the whole time too which was important.

  27. She started every game last year at U14 She was crushed (lots of tears) at first but as the girls reached out to eachother and it became clear that it wasn't just her she seems to be feeling better about it. When I first broke the news to her I told her, real life isn't everyone deserves a trophy and neither of these teams are everyone deserves a trophy teams. She has 3 choices and only she can decide what she is going to do. I told her, You can quit, and I hope I am not raising a quitter, you can play, hang out with your friends, not care what team you are and just enjoy playing, or you can work your ass off, prove the coaches wrong, and show them they are wrong for not having you on the team. My guess though is not matter what she chooses, (other than quitting) she will be on the select team when she is on the old side of the division and developmental team when she is on the young age of the division.

  28. But what benefit are you gonna see from lowering when your constantly pounding through the massive potholes? You’ll need a chiropractor and a dentist after riding around my area in a slammed truck.

  29. I don’t want to spoil it on anyone...so I’m just gonna say that if a certain someone who shot that big something can preserve it, he’s golden and has no excuse not to win. Just my 2 cents....

  30. 10:1 on the 2.3 ecoboost ,not sure what kind of boost numbers are stock ,I would guess high teens? My 2.0 eco boost has 9:1 and makes 20 pounds of boost stock. Very impressive numbers for such small displacement engines . Biz's truck is rated at 270 hp, 310 torque on 87 octane .

  31. Even with a good chunk of land behind my house, I may be spending a bunch of time this fall on a new 5 acre piece I’m currently trying to buy. It’s landlocked, dirt cheap and only 1/2 mile from my house. Went and scouted it last night. Deer sign all over the place! Now I just have to wait and hear back from the county land bank....

  32. We always bring home some cod and local scallops. Unfortunately though the cod out here isn't local anymore - overfished. However they fly in a plane every day from Iceland to distribute to the fish markets. Way fresher than can get at home. Beach bread is a loaf of French bread sliced lengthwise, spread with garlic butter, mozz and cheddar cheese - basically cheesey garlic bread.

  40. Picked up a Caldwell field pod this morning at a garage sale for 35.00. Looks like it was barely used and was kinda what I was looking at for coyote hunting. Also felt this would be good for my boys once they get into shooting/hunting. Anybody have one?? Likes or dislikes are appreciated. Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk
