    Satellite Internet

    Anyone out there using satellite internet? I don't have much choice, only DSL or satellite where I live out in the boonies. Specifically Hughsnet, pro and cons.

    My Latest Snake Story

    A couple of days ago I left my skidsteer sit down besides my woodshed. The next morning I go down, start it and proceed to go down my lane to where I had some wood split ready to bring back to the shed. Out of the corner of my eye I catch something hanging down from the overhead. I think it...

    Gardening

    Notice the electric fence around my garden this year. Our first planting of cabbage and Brusselsprouts disappeared and were found shredded all around the garden. Even though we are in the center of 25 acres of woods and have lots of deer around they have never bothered the garden before. We...

    Do you burgee?

    About 40 years ago I had this one. After the kids scattered all over the country and I spent 90% of my lake time on my bassboat there was no place to fly it that it would not be in the way. Still have it tucked away in a drawer someplace.

    Growing Older

    Anyone else remember a turning point in your life when you realize that you are getting older? I reached another one this morning. Left the house with my 12 year old grand daughter and headed up the mountain to reach our tree stand. For the first time I had to tell her to wait up as I was...

    New Addition to the Family

    After going three years without a dog we decided it was time for another one even though it might outlive me. This is 13 week old Ella Garde Jade, almost 20 pounds already. I have discovered that training a Doberman puppy should not be undertaken by someone taking blood thinners. Can’t...

    Happy Birthday to USN

    It was just 59 years ago when I decided to join a group that would change my life forever. They told me they would give me about $85 a month and they would see I was well taken care of. The result was I got to see a lot of places in the world I would never have been able to visit on my own. I...

    Spun Prop ???

    Last week I took my grand daughters ages 8 and 10 out for an afternoon of fishing. Temperature in the 90?s so we went down to the end of the lake to fish close to the bank where the trees would provide some shade. I have been meaning to set my idle up a little bit so I decided to do it while...

    Recall of Flares

    Take a minute and check your flares to see if they are part of the recall. This action was taken because the chemical makeup of the signal was changed in October 2013 without Coast Guard approval and the signal that was manufactured is at risk of spontaneous combustion when dropped...

    Shot another trespasser trying to sneak on my property to harass the does.

    Hope to put this one in the freezer this year. It has become a nusiance and the last straw was when my wife went out on the front porch to smoke and met it about four feet away as it was backing down off the porch steps. We figure it was on its way to the deck to check out the smell of the gas...

    Shot another trespasser trying to sneak on my property to harass the does.

    It better not be bigger than this one. It was the biggest one I took off the mountain so far. Notice the funny looking boot on my right foot. I had just had that foot operated on a few weeks before hunting season and took the right boot of an old set of pacs and removed the felt liner so I...

    Shot another trespasser trying to sneak on my property to harass the does.

    This one was too nice to not have a full size picture. Its body size matched the rack.

    Some thoughts on VJ Day

    I was looking at some old pictures with my youngest bunch of grand daughters the other evening and ran across a picture of my father and two uncles together with my uncles in uniform. My one uncle was a naval aviator who flew carrier missions in both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters. The...
