Seems as though all my fish lately come from Wegman’s.

Happy Birthday

I should have included a as I sounded like old, tired asswhipe in my post, huh? (Only cause I am).

Tim HAD steel wheels. They were rusty, hence the swap.

The wheels and tires look great. Good score!!

That last picture is beautiful

And that hope of making the class tonight went out the window as a construction project came up and dependent on help that came over with untold knowledge.

Any big changes for you three as far as equipment this year? Is there still a elevated stand or did that come down last fall??

You guys are starting to sound like my wife....... :

And the charades continue. WTF

You're the "Traveling Sportsman" come opening weekend when you head west......She's gonna be packed to the gills with beer & Bagels, no?

That ramp will take up 1/3 of the bed. No room for coolers, deer, climbing treestand, duffle etc.

Ahh but as you know I hunt the land adjacent to yours and I would like to feed your bucks some lead.

Black Diamond but don’t loose it.

Great job Larry. She sounds like quite a gal!!

Bizzy......IIRC a few pages back you were talking about a ramp to slide your deer up into your new rig. This is a picture from a few years ago of a Pennsylvania buck I killed getting yerked up the slide. I have a small pulley system in the back of my truck and it stays in there, ready to roll. Unfortunately this "slide" wasn't much help as the deer kept going off each side as they were pulled up. My solution was to scrap that one and use a 2"x12"x71" (so as to give me an inch or so wiggle room with shutting the tailgate) with 1"x4" boards screwed to the side of it to keep the deer from sliding off and giving me a much more rigid setup. I don't have a picture of that ramp handy as I keep it at my buddies place. All told, it's a decent set up for those bigger deer that when freshly killed are not the easiest thing to toss in the bed of the truck anymore. Here is the old set up.......

My 40th high school reunion was last night but unofficially started Thursday night and ended at 5pm tonight. A small gathering Thursday night with a little bigger one Friday night got things going nicely. Lots of buddies came in town for the weekend and we had a blast. A couple brought their wives but more came solo. Understandably it can be very tedious for the spouse who didn't attend the same school but fortunately my wife and others locally know each other well. The main event was last night at a local restaurant but that included a couple hours of "warm ups" at a friends house prior to our grand entrance. We had almost 500 in our graduating class and were thrilled to have almost 200 attend, including significant others. It was great to see everyone and catch up. Today I took a couple friends down to see the Buffalo waterfront and we met up with another bunch then went to eat on Allen Street, downtown after walking around Canalside for a bit. I dropped one of the guys off at the airport for his trip back to Boulder CO around 5pm then came home and CRASHED. All told it was a great weekend but I'm ready to get back to normal hours, eating and LESS drinking. Here is a picture from Friday night.....

Stopped at Wegman's on the way home from fishing?

If we’re going to snack cakes, HoHo’s for the win.

Ya know..........you guys are REALLY boogering up my serious thread.

Chocolate bear.

I was a no show due to being medically unfit to shoot.........I'll be doing my best to meet the remainder of the schedule both home & away. Jeremy, I'll bring my .243 for those 'hundred yard pokes.

Count me as a fan of growie too.....like many others on her we exchanged PM's quite a bit but haven't now in some time. The forum in my opinion is diminished without her presence.

Well I had TF do it in a PM/Mega group chat and to say I’m astonished would be an understatement. I can’t post it now as I’m in the fart sack but might tomorrow. Night John Boy, night Mary Ellen.......

Nice vice........ Good luck to your son! Looking forward to seeing pictures.
