Dragonslayer

So that is what happened. I thought we had a deal and you were on top of it to throw some snow down this way. We got the sub artic temperatures but no moisture. So now I'm back on the job dealing with cold weather emergencies without any snow or ice. Come on now work with me. I'm not ready to be back at work. We need a snowmagadin down here in the sunny south.

Thanks and back at you. But, yes we do thanks for the well wishes Marcarl.

Thanks for that and Happy Birthday to you as well. I do admit that for many years I dreaded the thought of my birthday. But for the second year in a row. lady friends have made a point of making me feel special. It's just a shame that along with the birthdays at this stage of life so come those subtle signs of aging. Just makes me regret all those wasted birthdays when I was younger. It would be my pleasure to meet you somewhere down the road this next year.

That's what I mean. GREAT PICTURES

Thinking about how I wanted to convey my Christmas message to my Venturerider family I considered all the post over the past year which made me remember all of these emotions. :D:p:cool:: so I decided to go ahead and throw in my First of all I thought about what a blessing this family has been to me:2133: yes even my friends from I thought about how much I love my:178: and dancing :banana:s I thought about how much I have enjoyed partying with my Venturerider friends all over the country over the past years how even the less joyous moments were still well natured and in a spirit of good fun. I've met some very interesting people from all over the world, even some from Old pirates and hippies:Cartoon_397: most all of them very:cool10:a very few, not so much:cry: some were musically inclined a lot of them were just:fishin:for technical information But this group really rocks Then I thought about those times when my sense of humor landed like a lead balloon. Sorry about that but:sign13: But, then I decided that that those that didn't get me could just kiss my : I remembered those times on the road when I was in the But most of times have been:thumbsup: So MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL and always remember:sign Rock On:

Yeah Santa, he is a real good guy when he is not stealing other folks ice cream.

Alright, I'll give you that............ I can't argue with the truth............... But if you are planning on aiming south after Christmas let's make a deal. I'm already off work until 1/2/ 2018. If you start letting fly on New Year's day that should be good for at least another week of paid leave off work.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Gee thanks. I thought the email from Venturerider was just one of those automated things that happens to everybody, every year. I'm surprised anyone really noticed. It brings a tear to my eye to see that someone as renowned as Marcarl really cares. All my life my birthday has always been overshadowed by Christmas which is really about the most important birthday ever. I really appreciate the recognition. I guess I really ought to ask, which Bob are you referring to?

You completely failed down here in Little Paradise, Georgia not even a hint of a flake.

Always a naysayers in the crowd.

I did the exact same thing back in 2008 in the Palo Duro Canyon State park, Texas with tx2sturgis and Silver Bullet.

Rode mine naked once.

The last thing on my bucket list is to ride the bike into a tornado.

The view out my office window Monday morning.

Puc, You're having way to much fun for an Ole Foot.

I love it Joe.

Well Flying FOOL, I guess you finally got that diabolical contraption dialed in. We got some Saturday morning but it was gone by noon. Was able to do a little hunting in the snow. That was cool.

It looks like a nice bike from what I can tell. But, I'm not gonna stand on my head to find out.

That song says it all.

In my younger life, I was sure WTSHTF, that my hunting, fishing and outdoorsman skills would make me one of the few survivors left with the task of repopulating the planet for the sake of humanity. Even when 911 happened I went to Wal-Mart that day and bought them out of ammunition in every caliber I owned a weapon. I still have boxes of shells laying around. My mindset at that time was that we were at war on our own soil and I needed to get ready for the hoards marching up my driveway. Presently, I'm thinking more about alternate utilities so I can live off the grid as long as possible. We have well water, wild game out the back door and I'm thinking generator for power with maybe wind or solar backup. But, truth be known, at this stage of life, I'm thinking why bother,? BongoBobby seems to have a good plan.

The little FTTRBS are everywhere.

I once shot a water moccasin in the head crossing the river in a rapid from the hip with a 357 in holstered quick draw at about 50 yards away. I used to shoot bumblebees on the wing with a BBgun for practice. No brag just fact.

I shot a Fox squirrel one time with a 30-06 and all of his internal organs were external. I also shot a grey squirrel with an arrow and the DANG squirrel ran off with an arrow sticking thru it.

As one who challenges your signature saying everyday, I wouldn't have a problem With poisoning them if I was sure the dog and the cat wouldn't be the secondary victim. I might even go as far as nuke'n them for a total kill if I didn't have to live in the radioactive after math.

But oh Bill, You miss the point. I don't just want to kill the little FTTRBS. I WANT TO OBLITERATE THEM INTO THE LAND OF THE PINK MIST...........NO dead bodies to dispose of...........But, then what would I have for dinner? Maybe a 410 would be a better choice.
