BilletHead

We do like the olive garden version, but we have also done it ourselves. It was better. Been awhile and we need to revisit it again.

Actually I was thinking the meatballs would be for the big Saturday feed when we have the most people and walk inns.

There are 109 meatballs in the pot and sauce getting happy. We won't be able to bring all the meatballs with us because we are going to eat a few to make sure they taste good for you all. We know that they do already 😆. FYI that is a big old size 12 Dutch oven.

Good grief this is alot of meatball browning. 😋. Guaranteed to please.

Dang, I feel pretty special.

Outstanding trip!

Only if it is HOA approves.

Love seeing and hearing sandhill crane out west. My phone ringtone is a sandhill crane. You should see the looks I get in public. Someday maybe get to eat and hunt one.

You are right chicken fried goose is great, anytime. Smother it with gravy or treat it like a beat up and breaded tenderloin and put on a sammich.

This and the out of state fishing license went up. Then not doing anything about the destructive black vultures eating the rubber seals on your vehicle. They did hang black rubber vulture cutouts on the parking lot upside down from the chains. I suppose to scare off the others. I'm thinking those live vultures see them as decoys. 😆

No cover our boat will just get wet 😔.

Hospital bed or big boy crib. 😆

Saturday Pat will have venison Chipotle meatballs you can add.

I have not forgotten. I feel bad you have to store it. We will make it happen.

Just enough! You are right Jeff what a game.

Yum, looks like an Italian burrito. How could you go wrong with that?

I did that with my bass pro version of the pond prowler. Used that for many years. When We both started flyfishing we even used that boat. Sold it and bought a 12' flatbottom. It gave us more room and somewhat less dangerous.

Pat and I did a field hunt this morning for geese, duck too if they happened to fly by. We have been watching a field that geese have been using with a few ducks mixed in. This is a wheat field and hard to hide in with some fescue waterways going through it. there is a roost pond the birds have kept open the birds are flying to and from. We set up in layout blinds in one of these waterways. 32 full body canada decoys put out. There is only one problem with this set up. There are so many birds using this spot and they are coming in in huge flights if they want in another part of the field you are screwed. Best part of the morning was another sunrise afield with my favorite hunting partner. Birds started coming off the roost and heading towards us. Those first birds were whitefronts. Pat calls them special bellies. For those of you that are not familiar you will soon know why. Behind these first birds were waves of other whitefronts and canadas and ducks mixed in. I called with the call and my speck call is junk plus I suck at this call, but the specks came in to take a look meanwhile the bulk of the birds were honed into another spot in the field. The first few specks were close, and Pat was excited. I told her take the shot and she did. Her first speck hit the frozen field. She was pretty pumped. She has shot at one before and missed, this turned into crying . The rest of the birds coming off the roost went with the others. We continued to hunt with a small group of canadas coming close, but none would commit but just go to the others. As long as that group was there nothing will come to the 32 decoys we had out as opposed to the three to four hundred in the field a quarter mile away. Pat decided to walk over and get those birds up. She did and the birds went back to the roost. Finally, the birds started trickling out but flew North away from us and the field. Later on a few remaining geese lifted off and checked us out. They were still more interested in where the big wad was making pass after passing around us just looking. This is when I decided non committing birds if they were close enough would be targets for pass shooting. This became a game will they get closer or not. We took two canadas and I got a speck. Beautiful birds, tasty birds. One set of speck breasts are in the sous vide ready to take out and sear. Gotta take care of that as Pat fixes sides.

Sounds like you have many options, Keith. If you decide you want something to put an electric motor on and since you are such a good guy, I happen to have an extra 50-pound Minnkota transom trolling motor that I would gift to you. Will deliver if we make it up to the tri lakes flyfishing deal. We don't need two.

Na you don't

Years ago, I heard it on a radio show. It became stuck in my head and comes out once and awhile. You Jeff brought it out once more the other day 😁. You might be surprised what I have caged in my cranium.

Yes sir, it goes on the heads of all my shuttlecocks.

Maybe we had better get her into smaller stuff pronto!

We will miss seeing you JD, Be Well Fish on!

Oh, she will!
