His use of a lawn chair drone for deer would be a novel approach but I’m not sure how you would counter the recoil unless he’s bowing.

Maybe a bean dinner the night before ala Blazing Saddles.

Thought about Randy today as I almost took a forky with the 6.0L

Kind glad that I missed him, don’t have any budget for body work or repairs at the moment.

Well If he did not take along an ELB then it's going a long search.

Speaking of which I just bought a couple of Delorme Inreach units (passed on the Garmin versions as they aren't worth the price difference). Cabellas had them on a hella good sale, but unfortunately had already gotten them for 20 bux more...

Cool technology for those that get off the beaten path -- my Wife and I can now text each other when we go to the north pole.....

Or any of the places we go that there is zero cell service. Beats just a one way beacon...

I'm starting to get worried about Randy, slipping and all, I wonder if he's starting to trip too...?

North Pole......

Wait, are you saying your Santa? An elf? A business consultant? Sleigh maintenance tech? What’s going on here. Maybe I should have been on better behavior on the forum .....

What kind of cookies do you like?

Can a curmudgeon be saved ......

I can’t tell my wife about this development.

Santa hasn't gotten your wish list this year, Jack, but your good deeds of helping others and bringing those wonderful (big) trees to fit all the presents under, has been noted. As I've been told anyway...

We signed up for our first cruise ever -- going to Alaska next year. I've always thought I'd feel like I'm in a heard of cattle being on a cruise ship, but Wife wants to do it, so we'll see (that's about as close to the Noth Pole as I will get, I expect).

Back to Randy: should we be setting up a fund or something for the search and rescue? Or maybe for the drug re-hab? I did mention about if anyone knew if he was starting to "trip", I hope you didn't take that as like falling down...

Man, he's like the last guy I thought would ever turn to drugs... Then again all that time in a tin can under water, maybe PTSD?

Boy am I gonna' catch hell when he gets back (or we find him)

Scott

The trips... I take are either going up and down stairs or on jet planes. Well there is the trips in the truck.

In-Reach... I've got one and they work great. Used mine on the Elk trip, a little up each nostril... but seriously. The Delorme version was $179 compared to $499, I bought 2. Pared to an IPad for maps and texts, your going to love it, except the bill! $70 unlimited or $15 a month for 10 texts and unlimited pre recorded responses. If you need some help, drop me a line, it worked great at elk camp, the girls loved it.

Falling from a stand... would not be good. Who's in Wisconsin? I'll be in Green Bay until Wednesday. Maybe I can swing by and show them a thing or two about taking a knee at the wrong time, like to avoid a tackle but not during the Anthem!

Randy came up for AIR!


Not to bring any politics into this but I am and I will.
Time to boycott any team that takes a knee.

To me it's just as offensive as burning a flag.

I think it is a perfectly fine thing to discuss. I'm boycotting professional football entirely. I wrote the NFL and told them most of my friends are taking the year off as well.

Paraphrasing what I wrote them: "why not remove the rules against celebrating after a score in the end zone, then we can devolve to 10 minute choreographed celebrations after each score". "These are very well paid professionals. They are paid to practice. They are paid from the moment they get off the bus and go into the locker room. ALLOWING them, any of them, to disgrace our Nation, our Military, us the fans and the freedom that ALLOWS them to be so highly paid, once they are off personal time is unacceptable".

I think what I actually wrote was better and stronger worded

I'm with ya' Sean...

I'm with you both on that. Have been against it from the beginning. Some people don't understand how offensive it is or the fact that they are paid to be there to play ball. How many of them kneelers go out to rallys on there own time expressing their beliefs?
I said enough, already. We will see if the NFL gets the message.

Sorry to say guys,morons like these will never learn. There are people still out there that are watching and don't care. I for one stopped watching when they brought the dog killer back to play. I have watched since and will never again.
