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.

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!

You sure Moogster ain't carving more of them up for the Biz?

Sorry, it's hand drawn of the Moog-

I have a dinosaur- S-4 Galaxy...I like it and don't want to upgrade if I don't have to .

Next time I will! Glad you liked it!

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. Dutchess/Area

Never saw a thing except rain! Back at house, and the wife took good care of me - picked up egg n cheese sammich along with a cool chocolate filled pastry, and coffee. I'm in the easy chair now , and it will take a whole lot to get me back out this afternoon. haha

Dang! And where I hunt is by a swamp and a stream! Anybody got a giant hair dryer???lol

Lock n Load we're goin' in !!!! Let's get em in the morning! Hoping for no rain for a change and some bucks running around! Got to make up for the lousy bow season- never saw a deer from stands---a first! So I'm sure this will be better.

Still say it looks like "Freddy" the Ferret

Ya sure it wasn't a ferret? hahahaha

Easy chair sit at home...started out it started raining again. I'll wait till it lets up. Good luck everybody!

God bless him and all our military!

I take a pack of the orange crackers with peanut butter...they do the job!

I buy the Sawyers on Amazon @ $5.99/can...I buy enough for the whole season. Nothing works like perm!

Nice job Wooly!

God bless ya all! And stay safe!

wishing speedy recovery

Sure would appreciate it if someone could rotate the pic on the top...can't do it from my computer. Thanks very much!
