John, is your house a Levitt?

Joe how well did the concrert hold up? Did the concrete start to crack? I have a concrete floor in my garage crack in a few places, but not bad and no real problems. The guy who poured the concrete said to expect it to run some cracks over time.

Looks like you hit lotto, congratulations.

I am surprised that the WINCHESTER MODEL 70, 30-06 hasn't been mentioned. I have used one for over 40 years and love the gun. Great for what ever you hunt deer, bear etc. Bullets come in many different grains .

Jumped a hen off her nest two weks ago. When back yesterday eggs still there.

The Red Flags Rules are a collection of new Federal Trade Commission regulations aimed at reducing the risk of identity theft. The American Medical Association and dozens of other medical societies “have protested the FTC’s decision to apply the Red Flags rule to medical practices and other health care providers.”

It's more about identity theft than patient safety. For more info just google it, you will see."Doctors and hospitals request photo identification for patient safety purposes- it's a long explanation, but the brief answer is that it's meant to reduce medical errors ie: wrong medications given to the wrong patient, etc." Sorry to say this had nothing to do with it. All about IDENTITY THEFT. If it were for the safety of the patient how come 100,000 of patients die in hospitals every year from hospital and Doctor errors.

You have some nerve to even mentioning hijacking a thread. I think you have the most posts on this thread than anyone else. It should have been names Health care according to Virgil. You always come up with this crap when someone doesn't share your point of view. Hijack that.

So you are trying to tell me this has nothing to do with insurance fraud. People using others ID Numbers etc to get free medical services. Lets not use the hospital as an example , what about going to a regular Dr's office. Is this for patient safety and medication errors. Or is this to make sure that someone else isn't using someone elses information. How could I argue with you you have read the Obama health care bill.

You think the photo has to do with safety. I think it has to do with using someone elses health insurance. That has to do with money not safety IMHO. The difference is if you or I go to the ER they will get their money one way or another not so for the illegal .

Just went to Orthopaedic Dr's office had to show proof of insurance and photo ID. Plus they take your picture. As a citizen if I went to the hospital they would require the same. To make sure they get paid. How does it work for the illegals? Or is the law we can't ask for identification, proof of coverage etc. So who pays us!!! I wonder if Omama will make all illegals show proof of health care before we treat them? Oh sorry it only pertains to the tax paying citizens who have to foot the bill for the illegals.

Guy's thanks for your well wishes, It was a day I couldn't picture 3 months ago. And truly a miracle for my son and our family. Dave

I jumped a turkey on a nest with eggs almost two weeks ago. Wonder if the heavy rains will affect the eggs , hope they make it. Dave

That's why California is called the land of the fruits and nuts.

Doc, I have read the same thing. Shoot'em when you see'em.

I think that the guy's who don't practice all year round will have the majority of shoulder problems. If you don't shoot often and you start off pulling 70-80# you are more likely to have problems than starting off pulling 55#. And lets face it most of us are getting older. More isn't always better, start off slow and build up to higher pull weight if you need to.

Joe, I have been hunting a long time and never heard of burying the entrails. I have never done this, just left it for the critters. Never too old to learn.Dave

And Cardinal Dolan Baptized the baby, a truly special and over-whelming day.

Had a great day, yesterday my grand-daughter was Baptized at St. Patrick's Cathedral. Life is good.

True red neck hunting stand.

I got my rescue dog from petfinders and he is the best dog. He is a black lab mix with flat coat and has a white patch on his chest. Have had him for two years last month he is 3 years old and just a great dog in every way.

Was up state this weekend, took a long walk in the woods. While climbing up an incline loaded with hemlocks a turkey bolted from cover. Scared the daylights out of me, checked where I thought she flusher from and spotted a nest full of eggs. Hope she comes back and hatches the eggs, never disturbed anything.

The effects of Obama care are allready here." The statement that if you currently have coverage onone will take it away"That is totally false statement!!!!!!The company that I retired from gives it's retirees health coverage. But only to a certain extent it's not free the retires have to pay for their coverage. It's part company and part paid my retirees. The company pays x amount and that amount is frozen as insurance goes up every year the company pays none of the increase that increase is paid by the retirees. This is not a small company who can't affort to pay for the insurance they have 140000 employees. I just got a news letter from the company that affective jan 2013 anyone under 50 will have to pay for their health insurance in full no company matching funds, when they retire. So I would say their insurance is taken away from them.. Next will be full time employees, why not the fine is cheaper than paying health insurance for it's employees.

And soon it will be the opinion of the Supreme Court along with the 26 states who have files suites that it is unconstitutional. It is never alright to forcibly take anyones money. But most definately wrong to take money from hard working Americans and give it to freeloaders and non productive people in our society. Why are we penalized for working hard and supporting our families?

First I have a college degree. And I have never thought of this web site as a place for journalistic and professional context. Get over yourself. We are just a bunch of guys and gals shooting the breeze on hunting related topics. There is no need to write a thesis to get out points across.
