  1. Just sittin in the easy chair getting ready to go out shortly. Watching the Ali/Foreman fight for the umteenth time. To me this is one of the greatest heavyweight fights of all times. Foreman, a power house bruiser who totally destroyed Smokin Joe was totally outclassed by a savy, quick boxer Ali. When it comes to boxers (rated by what they did in the ring-cause I'm not in love with the outside of the ring actions)...I always thought Ali was the quickest and best of most heavyweights.
  2. Wasn't quite breezy enough this AM(lol), so I sacked out...needed a rest. Got all the leaves racked and gutters clean. Ready to hit it hard afternoon and rest of weekend. Congrats to all who scored this AM...really nice buck!
  3. I have a dinosaur- S-4 Galaxy...I like it and don't want to upgrade if I don't have to .
  4. So the regular bow season is full swing, Xbow season on now...what's your take on the season so far? It seems to me looking at all the posts that deer take has been not good so far. Weather probably being the biggest factor. Personally, I have never had such a slow season. Kicked a few deer around, but have not seen a deer from any stand yet. I hunt lowground hardwood areas. I haven't seen a rub or a scrape yet. The area is usually a good producer. And I know things can turn around in a second, but so far no sign of rut yet. I may be completely wrong, what's your guess.
