Thanks guys. First deer I've shot since 2013.

I carried that rifle as a tribute of sorts the last 2 years. A neighbor that was like an uncle to me passed away. He left it to me knowing it would get used. I thought it was pretty special that it's still getting to hunt.

Congrats on X3. I don't have the time to hunt serious right now with university. I haven't applied for a draw in a few years. I should apply for devils garden just for the points though...

We do tend to have small blacktail here. That's pretty average for a young buck in this area but they're definitely small compared to their cousins to the east.

Nice pair of eaters! Hoping to get out this weekend with my dad, if work will let me.

Family time is important.

Fixed the car. Turned out to be a bad battery. Hopefully, Randy can start paying back what he owes this Friday, I am going to need it. LOL

He got a DUI ticket while driving my car, and it was impounded. Had to borrow $488 (in addition to what I had, and he had) in order to get it back out.

Never quite understood why people enable DUI'ers... They deserve every bit of pain and suffering they get. I'd never loan a car to someone with a DUI history.

Yeah, I will not do that again. However, at the time I loaned him my car, I did not know about his DUI history. He has all kinds of fines to pay now, and traffic school and community service. I have no sympathy for any of that. Hopefully this will have an impact on him and he will not do it again.

In other news, the battery works fine, but now, the engine wants to die when I put it in gear. It will not keep the revs up. CEL light does not come on, but I think after six months of being on all the time it is burned out, as it does not come one when you first turn on the engine. If it is not one thing it is another. Car has been fine with no issue up until about a month ago when the right front brake started pulling when I put the brakes on. Then the battery, and now the idle problem. I can't wait to get the back pay check, so I can finally get some much needed work on this thing.

I'll have to find somewhere to get the codes pulled, Pep Boys doesn't do it anymore, and my buddy with a code reader moved.

Yeah, I know. My last roommate moved in before I found out he had 3 of them. It's good to live alone!

I'd be happy to loan you mine, but it would be faster for you to go to a parts store that loans them out

Happy Saturday Nor Cal. Hope everyone has a good day.
