36 and rain is the forecast. Yep winter is here.


Hope everyone is doing well. I apologize for being out of touch lately. We have been super busy. I did find some time to go bow hunting in West Virginia and did some deer, duck, dove, squirrel hunting down east. Saw a lot of bear signs.


Just did some catching up in the other thread.


Larry, belated condolences to you and your family on the loss of your papa. On a brighter note glad you get a nice break for the holidays.


Bob, nice work on the Christmas lights. Also, very sorry to hear about your loss. Have a safe trip there and back.


Dlibson, glad to have you in the NC chapter. Keep us posted with your relocation and if you need any help down here. Maybe catch you at a dinner soon.


Tony, Hope you and your family are well.


Matt, Willie, Hope yall are well.

Yall have a good weekend.










PS: I'm still a little sore 98% of the gang dropped out of the shoot and eat. Brrrr, it's cold. Meanwhile, I'm sitting in a deer stand while it's snowing and blowing 15 steady.
I'm healing though. I have confidence when it warms up we can make it happen. But No, waaa it's too hot.

 

I guess you could say winter is upon us. I hope to get some hunts in now since I haven't been real active hunting this tear.

Today I sat some old oil jugs up in the driveway and practiced for my motorcycle skills test. I've got a appointment to take the test on Tuesday. If everything goes smoothly we will be hitting up the polar bear ride in Jacksonville on January 3rd.

 

Back from Missouri, and glad to be out of the truck a couple of days.
We had a safe trip. no issues, did better mileage going out than we did coming back. But I usually do drive harder to get back.
Everybody is worn out, it's been a heck of a week.

 

Bob, Glad your trip went smoothly and y'all are back safe.

Larry, good luck with the test.

Merry Christmas everyone.

 

Just wanted to wish everybody a Merry Christmas tomorrow
Y'all be safe in your traveling

 

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope y'all are getting to relax and enjoy the day!

 

Merry Christmas everyone!

 

I hope everybody had a nice Christmas.
We're debating on how long to leave our display up and running. May take it down after this weekend.
Truck still needs the interior vacuumed and glass done inside. That may be what happens today. I have an appointment to get a remote starter installed in the wife's 08 Escape tomorrow, it's what she wanted for Christmas. It's the only car we've bought new, and until we moved to this house in Apex, it's been garaged since we've owned it.

 

Had a nice Christmas, spent the 24th with my family and the 25th in Goldsboro with my wifes.

Finally broke down and ordered some new rear shocks to replace the worn out ones on the bike. Went ahead and ordered the heavy duty shocks/springs designed for 2 up riding.

 

Taking Shari's 08 Escape this morning to get her remote starter installed. I HATE that car, it's absolutely uncomfortable for me.
Then finish cleaning the inside of my truck. Outside needs a bath, too but it's supposed to rain all weekend. I can't stand my truck dirty
Y'all behave

 

My truck isn't as bad as it normally gets during hunting season since I really haven't had to use 4wd much this year. However as much rain as we got earlier this week and the area we are hunting today that may end up changing.

 

Good morning North Carolina folks!
Enjoy your Sunday, and the last few days of 2014.

 

Just checking in to see what's going on.
Guess I'm gonna take advantage of the cloudy, damp, but warm weather and start taking our Christmas display down.
I did get the inside of my truck finished (Cleaning) and got Shari's remote starter to the shop and they did a great job.
Though I wish they would have mentioned that I would need the second key to get it all programmed. It's been 10 years since we've had one installed, and well in that time, I've had a few, and at least three times.
But they did beat everybody by $50 at the minimum, have great reviews, so all in all not a bad day yesterday.

 

Morning Tim, morning Bob.

 

Whats up Tony.


Taking a break to feed my neck, and relax the shoulder. We have all of the extension cords rolled up, and most of the lights rolled up nicely. At the rate we're going we should have everything put up today.
