OH YEAH! Arnold Ziffel!

In winter around here, the deer will come in when they a motor running that sounds like a chain saw. They discovered that loggers trim the branches off, leaving the smaller stuff from the trees and that provides them with tender shoots and buds they would normally not be able to reach. Too bad that they have already been eating cedar when that happens.

As my friend in Cairns tells me:

Shot the match at the Grenville Fish and Game Club in Prescott on Saturday. CLEAN MATCH! No discussion about times, OK? Recovered enough today to walk around a bit with out whining and groaning. Must have been the moose roast Pierre dropped off and I cooked for supper. Deer opens November 6 around here and i'll be missing that again. Knees just won't handle the walk or the dragging out. Can't even take the SxS for some grouse. OK, Now I'm suitably GRUMPY. Get off the dang lawn!

Yeah, I was talking to a buddy, who tells me the Queen Elizabeth highway, from his place to Red Deer, is a mess. No snow here yet. Temp is heading down and is around 6 C. right now. Knees are aching and the whole left leg. Buddies still after me to go deer hunting, starting on November 6 Fine for me, if I didn't have to walk more than 50 feet and didn't have to haul one out, but it gets old pretty fast, if everyone else has to do your share of the work, wile you sit on your duff! Oh well, I had a good kick at the cat when I was healthy. They dropped off a nice moose roast yesterday and I cooked it last night. Tender. Lord, I miss the hunts!
