This lad found his first shed of his life, on the family farm yesterday .

Do,you have a wax that you prefer ? I'm a fan of Vitreo you can get it at auto finishers .

Nothing odd about it . It's a joint US and Canada agreement , 2014 to regulate levels to restore swaps to prior levels for muskrat and northern pike breeding . of course the down side is flooding of people's homes .....

I gotta say , I enjoy knowing I put my kids through college debt free, the fact that we can handle an unexpected medical expense in the 6 figures with no worries and on and on . All before we're 6 feet under . That to me is way more important then trucks and toys. Which is why I passed them by in favor of investments .

My God man, I always admired your hunting style , now it's your financial path. Im 58 never made a " car payment " or leased a vehicle either . We've lived well below our means and stay away from debt . You'll do well , it's worked well for us .

I follow , " bossgirlsempire" on Instragram, lots of hot chicks . First deer however .

Belo is that because they're trucks ? If you count our two adult kids, our vehicles are an '02, '03 and two '04 ,3 of them well into 6 figures on the clock . The kids jump in them and go to NYC or Boston for the week ends, and we travel to different states with no worry . Other Then wear items and an odd sensor or wheel bearing I can't come up with much for repairs and those were rather cheap .

My hunting partner Joe has some sort of Denali with Crome wheels I often use that. He buys two vehicles every two,years , cash . He makes a deal with the dealer , that when he needs them washed or an oil change they pick them up at his work , then bring them back clean by 2:00 . They are amazed when his city truck is covered in blood and mud .

Well think,I'll pimp.out my hitch hauler with carpet.,Never owned a truck they seem expensive though .

Interesting timing , today I as going through my gear, and giving some to my daughters . The oldest is hiking Washington and Oregon this May and Glacier Natinal park in July, the youngest Wash. and Oregon I July . I pulled out two of my Silvas for them among other items. I use mine while in the thick stuff where I hunt, as it's impossible for me to,keep a straight line in there . More then once I came out one side and said Corn ?? There's no corn on the south side ....turns out I'm on the West side ! The oldest has experience outdoors and stays on well used trails( but you know how that goes ) , still you must know what direction you went in, which way the road runs and so on, plus keeping in a straight line if off trial . I have my Dads old pocket watch style compass but it's in a shadow box of his gear from back in the day . Once I shot a buck at last light , it was on the edge of our thickest stuff. Left my Ml under my tree and went in with my .357 to find him. Well it took some doing , it got dark and I started dragging him, the wrong way. All the sudden I'm in the hard woods wth ! At least at that point I knew my way out . I almost left the ML figuring I'll get it tomorrow , but once the buck was to where I could drive to it ,I went back for it. Sure wish I took a reading when I first found him, would have saved a lot of work . Never mind the fact I thought I was " lost" in a farm woods in Canandaigua !

East Ave at Winton rd. Right off 490. its in my first due. Had I known I could have come and sung, " I Have But One Heart."

Nice catch ! A few years back I started to seperate my bow and gun tags, thinking why carry gun tag in bow, what if I loose them all ? So imagine my surprise when I dropped a buck right off opening day , and no gun tags ! Left it right there , and flew home and back in an hour . was going to call a dec officer I know , as once the tag blew off in transport to,processor ,and he said just right my lic . Info on a piece of paper along with his name and #. But I did not want to,well push my luck with him lol .

Youngest is working in Geneva this week, met her to swap cars ( had her summer tires put on ) and have lunch .

At a remote research facility a scientist know only as "Pygmy" conducts exhausting tests on " whitetail " attractants .

A few hours later ......

" Despite a high fense and a salt lick , I'd still hunt there ."

Good choice , that movie was the first real date I took my wife on . What can I say I'm a born romantic !

Picked up a tired and true. One of my wife's friends from Fla. is here to " help out " after my wife's hip replacement . Near as I can tell that means , one more person for me to cook and clean for......

Word on the street is , she hired Great White to play there that night .

Few years back my friend and his son were walking out , and busted a bird which took off , as it started to take flight another turkey hunter fired. He hit the son largely in the face . Although I seldom turkey hunt , when I do or if I'm just in my woods in May I have some orange on .

Thanks , the whole thing didn't pass my " smell test", turns out my hunch is also based in law . People have excepted the airlines heavy handed and intimidating tactics for so long, it appears normal to most . or at least 3 out of 4 as this case shows .

Rule 25 vs 21 Under United’s Contract Of Carriage (COC) rules (which follow federal rules), a passenger may only be bumped from a flight before they board (Rule 25). After they have taken their seat, Rule 21 is in effect, which would allow security to forcibly remove the passenger for many reasons — none of which includes accommodating last minute needs for a seat for other airline employees (or even overbooking). The flyer is in a contractual relationship with the airline, and each has rights and responsibilities under that contract. United Express violated the terms of the contract, and injured the passenger in the process.

Well United isn't " giving " someone a ride , they're charging them, which in the eyes of the law brings upon a whole new standard of care . The free ride was to the 4 employees . Like a bailment for hire vs. a bailment . You collected my ticket allowed me to board, stow my bags and take my seat, now, for non paying people I'm forced off ? Seems a poor business model at best . The police for a civil matter is a whole nother thing .

I was hoping to keep this light hearted and funny, but we're moved past that . Myself I never take the "bump" I just want to get to vacation or home , I'll buy the next ticket I need thank you very much . Now it's always been done prior to boarding from what Ive seen , once my ass in in the seat I intend on it staying there, stop me at the gate , I'll be pissed but more understanding . You over book fine, but once I'm on the plane in a seat I think those folks in the airport miss the plane not me . United could have bumped up,the offer but stopped at $800 instead the max allowed of $1,375 , but choose not to . I guess the saying everyone has their price is not known to,them . Air travel is seen by many as unpleasant and a hassle to begin with, over booking just adds to it . As far as these "police " it's unsure if they even have powers of arrest , or can board the plane . Not sure why perhaps they just have peace officer status . Not handling it prior to,boarding , not maxing out the $ , and beating up a 70 y/o Doctor for not giving up a seat he's sitting in, seems a poor way of handling it .

Feel free to add .
