I have never had anything bad happen to me in Milo. Which to be a pedantist, is a town. Or actually near there either, unless you count a massacre or two on some of those ponds you've posted pictures of. Back before there were laws about that sort of thing. You live in a killer's heaven.

Live and learn.

I never considered Milo a destination, but live and learn.

Them cute doctors can be trouble. She's on to you with the shots to reduce testosterone. I got a cute one too and she gives me shots to increase testosterone in spite of Lovey telling her no need, have a little mercy.

Good luck at your doctor appointment. Hope you are thinking a little clearer today.

You've got a very nice boat.

Purple, because ice cream has no bones.

OK, you win.

He's fishing bait on the bottom, not a C rig. And as long as the weight won't slide over the bobber stop, it WILL work.

I was not aware they did that either but some google searching convinced me you are right with the concern.

Yes.

Breakfast for dinner. The French Toast is with our hen eggs, milk, nutmeg, cinnamon and Billethead honey to sweeten the batter. Bread is homemade white (not mine) from Lillihobs just south of the Ark/Mo line. A great little place for baked goods and sandwiches. Sausage is J.C. Williams Sage - it is spicy sausage as it should be. The honey in the batter is a difference maker, really a nice flavor. Done the right way, in some decent cast iron. Thanks BH!

Nice report John.🎯

Nobody has permission to take another picture of me again ever.

I'll be your milk drinking buddy with some of that cake.

I'm bringing cast iron for morning backstrap and a second one for hashbrowns.

Nice rig.

I hope you guys are hungry for chili. Les's recipe makes a big Dutch oven full. Think it might be OK by Friday after a day or two to meld.

They're easily rotated .

Which house is Cedar Gables? Closest to Miles house?

Thanks for the reminder on the license. I always do the annual and just hit the auto renew button to help with the old and getting older memory bank.

I'm fine with wherever. $150 seems pretty reasonable to me. People do need to remember that Miles doesn't do credit cards, cash or check is good, or at least that's the way it used to be.

We've got chicks coming in February. Three Splash Ameracaunas, one Buff Orpington, one Light Brahma and one Barred Rock. I like some variety in my yard birds. I'm getting them from the place where oneshot got the ones that died on him. So who knows how many will actually make it. They'll be started here indoors in a wading pool with pine shavings for bedding and a heat lamp. They'll have as good a chance as I know how to give them.

No decorations but I did go to a fair amount of trouble to rehab the hen house that was a wedding present when Lovey and I got hitched. Also built a new larger 12'x24' predator resistant pen that will be easy to maintain. I've had more than my share of predator troubles with the birds but I do believe I have that taken care of now. The big dark bird is the bossy hen that has tried the rooster a couple of times - she tries to crow too but she's not very good at that either. The hen in the corner is a very pretty Speckled Sussex. The rooster is a fine-looking example of a Rhode Island red. There are also 4 RIR hens. All the birds are very friendly and have it figured out where food comes from. They follow us around the yard whenever we're out. Our dogs are good with them too. Still getting eggs every day, usually three, sometimes two, sometimes four.
