Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474

I don't know what the problem is. He should just get a cow.

Remembering Petawawa and the BOQs

I gut at the kill site and take the fruits of the hunt back to my buddy's house. (Year round home on a lake) I leave the gut pile for the crows, ravens. politicians and other scavengers. We have our own equipment, so we cut, weigh, wrap and freeze our own. As with our moose. we have found we get a lot more meat from an animal than when we used commercial cutters around here. When we did moose, often two or three, even our wives pitched in to help weigh and wrap. Good times!

I skin deer when I get them on the chainfall and hook, while they are still warm. I find it quicker and easier and they cool faster. Moose, I leave the hide on until we get them home.

Tried to clear the drive with the s'blower last night. No Go. Snow was too wet and it just clogged in the chute. To Heck with it. We have snow tires. It can just stay there till it melts, 'cause we ain't shoveling it! Too heavy when wet! GRUMP ! I've had enough of winter! Since I can't snow mobile or snow shoe in it any more, I'm gettin' old(er) and cranky(er). Now get off my lawn!

Just don't connect BLACK to Positive and RED to Negative like the moron did near my old place. At least, I think that's what the young fool did. All we heard was the BANG! when we were inside the house. New battery too.

Made it to the range yesterday, (Friday) but our Cowboy range was still mostly snowed in. Where the frontend loader tried to clear things for the February and March matches, the sun had melted the snow and left it very muddy. Too muddy. The rest of the range still had hip high snow and drifts covering the target array. (We keep them up after each match for Pards to practice on!) Checked out the cabin thought about firing up the wood stove, them decided to go shoot in the other bays, giving the S&W, Rugers and Glocks a work out. They all went BANG! Let's leave it at that OK? Blizzarding here right now with BIG flakes the weather liar is saying will turn to rain or freezing rain. OH GOODY! Now get off the dad burn lawn! And that's another thing! The sidewalk plow operators don't seem to know the corner sidewalk is a curve, not a right angle. Now I have almost 2 feet of what was lawn, (OK, Clover) dug up and pushed back. GRUMP! Oh well, I still have a big bag of white clover seed left and MAN! Does it ever choke out the weeds!! Green too.

It has been slowly melting here, (which is good for our flooding situation); days slightly above freezing and below freezing at night. But NOW, the weather prognosticator is telling me we are going to get another blizzard: 5 to 8 Cm of snow and 50 to 60 Kph winds. I was hoping I wasn't going to need the snow blower again this winter. Now get off my snowy, soggy lawn!

Just to trigger Subdeacon Joe..........(It's been a while!)

A woke Dad?

Finally the old grump gets woke up!

Much like here in Canada, they are planting a grove of current bushes every 250 miles.
