    There’s about 1000 of them wintering about 8 miles from the house on the ShoBan Res and I got some pretty good friends on the ShoBan Res

    Dodge Powerwagon with a concrete filled pipe bumper on the front works well from what I have heard

    Yes, we caught the most massive thunderstorm from about 12:45 till 1:30 today. Sat in the hall or your bathroom while it channeled thru.Then it's twin came along at 3:30 till 4:30. No damage visible.
    Moved from DR finishing lunch on the threat of wind blowing extensine glass in and same for our rooms. With the hall wall on one side, tile shower another, commode/sink other wall, leaves door to inside room. What, basically in an 8 x 8 with 3, solid walls enclosure. Sturdy...

    They can hunt anytime and anywhere with Res tags — I just do the cutting for a small fee — in meat

    Decisions, decisions......

    I'm 249 miles from the house.
    I was up and awake for 20 continuous hours on this last load, had a 15 hour stage III rhino visit, felt rested but kinda dopey.

    Entered the indigenous Love's for coffee and a Subway sammich, have consumed same, and now feel like a nap would be nice.

    Missus Skillet would be all for it. Having once done this job, she doesn't give me any crap if I take my silly assed time getting home.

    I need to get in a 34, and I need to get going soon if I want to take it at home.

    But, I'm 40 MINUTES from Monday's pick up!!

    Well, eff it. Might as well get going. I gotta make meatloaf to take with me on the road next week.

    Sorry to subject you to my thought process, but writing it down helped me decide.

    OK, so you're not the one shooting just trading some work for meat.

    Made it to kadoka. 676 miles from whence I started. A couple times I thought about pulling the plug. 30 mph headwind was making for a slow go. But we endeavored to persevere. Now the prairie is calm. Cute little squaw working in the Sinclair, but I saw Jeremiah Johnson. So I will drink my high life alone in the truck.

    Vegetable soup has been cooking all day, I stole a pack of deer stew meat before I left the house, and it should be tender by now.

    that is all-

    Yep — l’ve been invited and I might go some day but until that day— I don’t like owing anyone anything— except the bank— if I owe those LMFs (Liars and MF’ers) a couple million… never mind

    Them Jerimiah types can sure turn the clean blue flame of ardor down to low, and some can make it turn off.....
