Looking good and sounded great.

Haven’t been on here for awhile. I would like to wish all fellow veterans a great day. Also I extend a warm welcome to any and and all new members.
My brother passed away on October the 21st from...

That mess (I won’t call it tartan) is horrible. Shame on whoever registered that.

Grizzly is certainly a good name for that (powerful) doggie. Love your posts.

I tried to PM you a reply and a 404 code popped up and erased your message and my reply. Glad all your tests showed negative. Finished another sgian that I was working on. Looks half way decent wish...

It looks like a good time was had by all. Wish I could have made it. Just a little bit too far for me to drive. Darn it.

I’ve said before I envy you guys that can sing. Hope you do good with your hip replacement. I’ve stayed away from that, although I have the lower four vertebrae fused. I would love to hear you guys...

Must have been marvelous. Hope his hip heals up quickly.

Would loved to have heard you! I do enjoy good singing.

Really good pictures. Hope you had a good long lens to get that mama bear and cub picture. The cheeky little pica is so cute, another great picture. You must have had a wonderful trip.

Looks like you were getting quite proficient at poaching.:D I was pretty good at it when I was an apprentice. Made more money from a box of shotgun shells than I made working a 48 hour week. It’s fun...

Thanks for the reply, I used to work in field service. Worked in Anniston and Gadsden.

Mael, where is the Great Meadow in The Plains? I would love to be there, but will have to see how I feel, also I don’t drive much anymore.

Do you mind me asking where in Alabama you are from. I used to live in Chelsea. My son still does and my daughter lives in B,ham.

That’s almost enough to make me move back to the UK. If I wasn’t so old. I did love to squirrel hunt, the best part is eating them. Once you learn how to skin them the easy way. I sure would love to...

By the I used to have one of those Jock Scot flies, lost it on a big bass. Sure wish I could have landed that one. But it was fun while it lasted.

When I was much much younger I used to shoot groundhogs, with some friends. If you didn’t hit them in the head it cost you a beer. I shot one at 460 paces grazed his chin and went through his neck....

Those gray squirrels are good to eat also. They don’t stand a chance at my place once the season opens. Once you get the hang of skinning them they are good to eat. I used to look forward to squirrel...

I don’t know how big the wild cats are. I was relating it to the bobcat. If it’s only as big as a feral domestic cat then I agree that lambs would be safe. However the release of some things may do...

Speaking of gas masks, there was still a fear of gas attacks during WW2. I remember going to school with my gas mask. Little kids had masks that looked like Mickey Mouse. They were not supposed to be...

There is an ongoing project to rewild parts of Cumbria. There is an attempt to bring back the golden eagle. The red kite is back to some extent. Work is going on to save the peatland, drainage...

You are right D CAMPBELL, looks like he also has a clay pipe in his mouth. We used to put badges on our belts when we were kids, wish I had kept them.

Aw come on guys Pakistani pipes have their use. They burn really good, the black paint helps them burn.

You are correct OC one glance at those pipes and you know they are crapi **** bagi pipi. Also if you could see in the bore they won’t be black. They are made out of any wood that is handy.

Yesterday I was grinding on a piece of steel. I had my safety glasses on but not my shop apron. Didn’t think I needed it. Well the grinding disk I was using blew up. A first, in many decades. A piece...
