In a week or so, heading to a ski lodge in Montana. Family ski trip but this 82 yoa, arthritic, old goat isn’t going to be going down a slick mountain on a couple of sticks. I’m still trying to figure out why I’m leaving warm weather for snow and ice.
In earlier times, I climbed a lot of those slick mountains trying to put some hurt on elk and mule deer. Been a long time and I figured on staying nice and warm in Texas. Not my idea but I’m going to enjoy myself seeing that world again without carrying a shooting iron and backpack.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

So, for a while you'll be a mountain goat.

Snipe, we are flying. Son in law works for American and we get free rides.

Dave, if you get bored, stop by by Shedhorn Sports in Ennis. You'll stay there for hours looking around, we did. They're the best MT shop with old and long range rifles. Shedhorn

Al, if Charlene knew I was going sight seeing in a gun shop, she would call the whole thing off. I’ll try.

I'd text Charlene but then we'd both be in trouble.

Found some battery heated gloves that I had bought sometime back. Tried to charge the batteries but that apparently didn’t work. No way to check the charge or whether the batteries are good.
Going to leave shortly for my rural property to pick up some serious hunting gloves and jacket. No room for my camo coveralls.

Al, if I buy one more gun, I have to buy another safe.
Editing here: or another wife.

Guv, that is so amateur.
Buy a gun FOR Charlene.
Problem solved.

Going to leave shortly for my rural property to pick up some serious hunting gloves and jacket. No room for my camo coveralls. I have a battery powered jacket. It works pretty well. Arias brand I think.
