If I had said THAT, I would have thought it.

Goose Fajita Friday !

I prefer to communicate through text whenever it's reasonable because you can usually get right to the point, answer questions, and get right back to whatever you're doing. It eliminates the Hello's/Goodbye's and all the filler conversation that an actual call communication typically entails. Therefore I try to respond to texts ASAP in order to avoid the 20 minute phone conversation that always happens if they call to ask the same question. Somebody will call simply to ask if it's time to service their water pump yet.....and the next thing you know we've spent 35 minutes discussing the finer points of jerkbait fishing, last springs white bass run, and which Marina has the sexiest gas dock girls. I'm a BS addict and texting is my intervention.

Deal ! If you miss quota 3 times then you get moved to the kitchen.

Right on. Understood.

Definitely gonna stock the pond. It's for testing purposes. Cuz we're gonna start a fly tying sweat shop to keep your hands busy, and off the nurses behinds. You can earn your keep by pumping out 40 Shuttlecocks per day.

I take it that the administrative shut-down is over. Is there a new list of rules and guidelines being drafted ? I prefer to leave on my own now instead of being kicked out later, so some clarity would be appreciated. Thx

Heck yeah. And a big pond right out back.

Guess I'd have to go back to being a fishing guide and a giggalo. Plumber, automotive service writer. Hell I might someday be the administrator of the nursing home Pat puts you in...so you'd better be nice to me.

Yep he's one of 'em. Oneshot is the president of the "Doin' it like it's Supposed to be Done" club though.

For most (real close to ALL) it has nothing to do with "food". By the time they are done buying permits, special clothing, scent removers, guns, scopes, ammo, range finders, tree stands, gasoline, land leasing, and then comes the craziest (to me) expense....they pay somebody else to process and package the meat...... Hell they could feed their family quality restaurant food all year long for a fraction of what they spent to kill a stupid deer. Old country boys like Oneshot are about the only ones that benefit any at all from a deer hunt. The rest of ya are just stimulating the economy.

"The Department of Conservation has projected that its chronic wasting disease-management expenditures for fiscal year 2017 will reach $1.7 million." I don't see this as a necessity, I see this as nothing more than a way to spend money. If it wasn't CWD then they'd create some other BS reason, a rare hummingbird virus or something else equally stupid.

It's easier to fence in a buffalo than it is a seed tick ?

I'm confused as to what is going on here, and what the concern is ? Close the valve, vent the pipe so it can clear out, then clean up the spill as best you can. Allowing it to slowly continue to dribble out is way more dangerous/hazardous than just getting it over with.

Hey those Spiderman panties are the greatest wet wading underwear ever made. They keep everything in its place and safe from leeches and riffle beetles, and when you get out of the water they are bone dry in 15 minutes. Under Armour makes some that don't have Spiderman on them.... but they are 40.00 apiece.

I pee'd in the clothes hamper once. Woke up because I couldn't find the flush handle. My wife at the time questioned why I decided to wake up and start a load of laundry in the middle of the night, I just told her there was a pair of jeans in there that I wanted to wear the next day. She bought it. Yes, Snagged, I'm sure it had to do with not being fully adapted to my environment.

We had some excellent days when I was in Georgia hunting the sod grass farms. You really don't even need a dog for those birds unless you are too lazy to go pick them up.

No I'm the one that gets out of my truck to come back and discuss it with you. Horn language is easily misinterpreted. To me it doesn't mean WAKE UP/HURRY UP, it means "Hey I'd like to speak to you". Maybe you want to tell me my brake light is out, or maybe you want to talk fishing, or buy me lunch. Ya never know.

Drivers and passengers ok as far as I know, but there was some boat and gearcase damage done.

Never try to lip a White. Use the Gill clamp method. A quick authoritive squeeze on the center of the gill plates immobilizes them immediately.

I have done it. On a lower lip no less. You gotta use 2 strings and a sturdy stick.

When I was a youngun I could sit with my elbows on my knees and be steady as a rock. I just recently realized that I can't even get in that position anymore. How depressing ! I might have to join my daughter in a yoga class.

I'll admit that I do read and respond to text messages while driving, but I always wait until it's safe to do it. (On a straight stretch with no oncoming traffic, or at a stop light. And only during the daytime).

If I keep the scope down on 4x I do pretty good off-hand, but if I crank up the magnification I have to find something to lean against.

Did alot of serious quail hunting, and pointer raising/training when I was younger, as did my dad all of his life. It got to the point that there were so few birds that it was near impossible to train a good bird dog. The last dog I had was a liver and white English shorthair that only got to go on point one time in his short life. He got all worked up one 4th of July (fireworks) and had a heart attack at age 4 1/2.
