Pit Stop----the Saga continues

Y'all looking in the wrong place. I spotted two in padre's freezer just this evening! :wavey:

 

Oh good, so now I CAN sleep

 

Should've spotted that whole tenderloin I saw in the slow cooker last Sunday......:thumbs:

 

It wasn't Father David [Davy] Crockett was it? :laugh: :wavey:

 

[with their ears to the ground] Seems like many horses have passed this way. [mustangs-deer-etc.that is] :laugh: :laugh:

Naturally, the "deer" are John Deere.

Don't blame the shotgun Brother Blackbird. It has to be the horrible conditions under which you Southerners have to hunt. You don't have any snow and it isn't cold enough to wear a coat. That's fishing weather!

Drop that temperature down to about 20 degrees. Trust me, there won't be any no-see-ums flying around in that! Then get yourself about 6-8 inches of new snow. Deer are pretty canny but I've yet to see one that brushes out its tracks.

If that doesn't work, why don't you and the lovely Mrs. jump in the car and drive North. madre has about 100 recipes for venison and a hankering to try them out. :thumbs:

 

Know why people from New York City are always angry? The light at the end of their tunnel is Newark, New Jersey! :laugh:

NYC is about 4 1/2 hours south of here. Been there twice and don't plan on going back. Tell Lil' Sis if she want to experience NYC to try the home visitors package first.

Let her borrow the garage for an hour. Leave the cars in there. It helps with the effect. You need a garbage can half full of week old fishheads, chicken bones and something the dog left in the yard. Get 5 radios, set them to different radio stations and play them all to once. Get three televisions playing (in order) The Godfather, Sopranos and anything with Joan Rivers talking. Hire the kid next door to honk the horn of your truck while yelling, "Whadda you crazy?" Attach pictures of the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building and Yankee Stadium to the ceiling so she'll look up with her mouth open. Knock her down and take her money. Welcome to the Big Apple.

Middleville - not to be confused with Middletown - sits at the southern gateway to the Adirondack Park. Halfway between Syracuse and Albany is the city of Utica. I'm 25 miles northeast of there. Deercamp is in the other direction. It's about 20 minutes out of Cooperstown home of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Now if Lil Sis wants to meet some Amish folk, dig for Herkimer Diamonds http://geology.com/articles/herkimer-diamonds.shtml or see Babe Ruth's uniform http://web.baseballhalloffame.org/index.jsp, give me a call.

 

We gotta keep it a secret. Folk find out we've got woods, critters and trout streams up here and they won't want to go home.

Co-workers call me Country. I tell 'em Thank you!

We use shotguns. This here's Remington Country.

 

Happy Boxing Day!
​

 

Not that kind of boxing. It's a British, Canadian, New Zealand sort of holiday. Nobody seems to know why but we don't know why Canadians end their sentences with eh, eh. Almost had a Thrilla in Brantford (Ontario) with MIL, but that's a long story.

Thrilla in Manila? Ali-Frazier part III, October 1, 1975. I am the greatest....

 

I always thought Boxing Day was the day you put all the things you didn't want for Christmas back in the box and returned it to the store!

love,

Sopranette

 

Too much of that and you won't get much building done. Give padre a call if you need any help. I can hunt, fish and eat with the best of them.

 

Congrats on the new house Blackbird!
