Nothing yet, but I'm always later than most in receiving mine.

Ha-ha-ha-.....That could be a problem with the excessive comfort. But it might be worth it.

There could be all kinds of discussions that could come from this video that may revolve around all the alternative reasons for hunting other than meat consumption.

So we have been feeling good about Trump's chances in the up and coming election, for a long time. Well, I am not so over-confident. I am noting that while some individual topical polls may look overwhelming in favor of Trump, I still have to wonder why some of them are so close, especially the over-all general population polls. I personally have a problem understanding how anybody could vote against Trump. It causes me to wonder what exactly is wrong with those people who are in the corner of giggling Kamala and those who were ready to vote for wacky Joe. It kind of shakes a persons faith in the way so many voters think. People seem to treat elections as "popularity contests" instead of looking at the issues and capabilities. Who do you LIKE instead of who can do the job. I cannot maintain a confident attitude that things will work out the way common sense would tell you they should. All I can say is, do not allow over confidence to take over your thinking. Do your part in getting out the vote. It may not seem like it, but we are the underdog here and there is no reason not to act like it. The Dems may be down, but they are not out.

Why is this country so screwed up? Haven't you seen the evolution of education away from the basics of knowledge and into all the social experiments? I've had 80 years to see the changes. It's not just education that has evolved, it is most of the facets of our lives. It all goes hand in hand with students rioting and burning flags and spray-painting monuments and all kinds of other social nonsense. Students are not taught the things that we used to consider common sense knowledge. The emphasis today is on trying to figure out what gender is appropriate, and all the other woke issues that clog up education leaving no room for the basics. Anti U.S. themes are being taught to the point where there is no room for patriotism and any appreciation or interest in our past. None of this happened just recently. It has been a slow evolution across the decades until now we are where we are and still going in that same liberal direction. Every generation has claimed that the world is going to Hell in a handbasket as each generation aged. We have gotten used to saying, "Oh that's just old-age talking." Well, that may be correct, but that don't mean that the old-timers aren't correct in their observations.

Fun to build and even more fun to use.......Good job!

It was kind of funny.

I have to wonder about the value of summer scouting. I guess it does give you an idea of what deer are in the area. But I have to say that patterns and areas where they might be now, are no indication of where they will be when Fall weather comes around. The feeding patterns are 100% different. The cover is different, and of course when rut slides in whatever you think you are learning during the summer months is all changed. I like to see what the fawn crop looks like and see if I recognize any of the survivors from last hunting season just out of curiosity, but little else is learned this time of year. I am way too busy this time of year to get too involved with learning things that will be completely different when hunting season comes around. But I am willing to learn new stuff. What do you all learn from summer scouting?

According to poll numbers, Kamala has worse numbers than slow Joe, But you never know. It could happen that all those that are afraid of senile Joe might return to the Democratic party faithfuls even if the giggler is in the presidential nominee. Do not take anything for granted. After all, this is politics and anything can happen.

Our system of government is still a robust system, and nothing has happened that cannot be fixed through voting. I think this election will prove that as long as we can get the Republican and independent voters off their butts, We have it in our power to become watchdogs in the voting process and influence the results the way we know that the majority want. What we cannot do is to throw in the towel and slink away complaining but not acting. We all know voters who have the same values and opinions as ourselves. We need to make sure they vote. This election will show what the future will look like. It is up to us to make sure that Republicans do not become the party of whiners that do not use the political tools that we have been given. It is also necessary to influence as many other Republican voters to vote. The system doesn't run on its own.

Thankfully there was no panicked stampede. There would have been a lot more fatalities from trampling. But that is an interesting observation.

Alabama???? The farthest I ever travel anymore is to Canandaigua and back......lol

The way that the Democrats and the media have been applying the hate speech against Trump and his supporters, why does this surprise anyone. We have been fed the line that Trump is Hitler and that his election was a clear path to the destruction of our system of government. He has been compared to Hitler. Dems have run all kinds of stories that Trump would refuse to leave the presidency when his term is up. You know that with that kind of constant drumbeat coming from every corner of the Democrat party and with the willing news media accomplices, I'm sure the shooter considered himself a patriot that was saving Democracy. It takes far less to send some of these weirdos off the deep end.

Interesting concept. I wonder how the cost of the ammo compares to that sold at gun stores and such.

When you run a constant campaign villainizing someone with hate speech for about 3-1/2 years at a daily nationwide scale, and you have the eager cooperation of most of the news media and even some of the major government agencies, the results become quite predictable. I have been wondering what took this event so long to happen. It appears that the bullet was off by a very small part of an inch from making the shooter completely successful. The guy thought he was saving Democracy.....Or so he was told by the Democrats and their willing accomplices in the news media ever since Trump got into politics.

I have been saying that since before the debate. As they say, be careful what you wish for. I know that we are running a risk leaving him in charge until the until after the election, but the one thing that HAS to be accomplished is to get Trump elected. Our country depends on it. The best shot of that is against broken Biden. It will be interesting what kind of tricks the Democrats find to use on one of their own to get rid of him.

Has anyone here come across a poisonous snake here in NYS?

The Dancing has subsided lately.

Yeah, I understand your dislike of snakes. I don't mind if I can see them from a distance, but they always seem to wait until I am almost stepping on them before they take off. That always freaks me out. There is one snake that I encourage, and that is a black snake. I was told that they go after rattlesnakes and they eat rats and mice. They also seem to be quite docile. Grass snakes are tolerable. Water snakes are too darn aggressive for my liking. But for the most part, I take a "live and let live" attitude toward all snakes and deal with them as little as possible.

Sometimes they react the same way to people on ATVs. They often just stand there staring as you go by.

Well, you got me beat again. The best I can do is 55 years of marriage. Unless I count both marriages......lol.

Why is it that when I used to have a boat, a big crowd of people always gathered waiting for me to back the damn thing up and get it launched? It was always an embarrassing fiasco.

Wow......That's a beautiful boat! By the way, where do you find the catfish?

I have been thinking about exploring the fishing in the canal. Are the fish safe to eat out of the canal? There are various public parks and pull-overs available that I would like to try, but I have heard stories about dangerous pollution p[roblems in some of the fish.

Yeah I agree with the others. If meat is bad, it never is any secret. The nose knows.
