Happy Birthday Momma.

I just wanted to say Happy Birthday Mom. I love you very much.

Long Weekend.

Needles and I took Friday off so we are going to enjoy our long weekend with coffee, vegetable soup and sleeping in. Nothing is on our agenda and that is how we like it.

Back from T'giving Part 2.

We got home from the promise land and had a good although short visit. After we returned home an seen that the cats had broke out of kitty prison. Luckily nothing was knocked off and or puked on this time. We will soon be putting a door in the back room to make sure the kitties don't break out. We did go out to see my brother Rudy and his family, since we haven't been able to see them in about 2 weeks. After catching up on goings on, we sipped coffee and sat on the sofa and rubbed our big bellies. Now that we are home for the night it is time to repair relationships with our furry house mates. Copper seems unfazed but Tugger however seems to be holding a grudge. Here kitty kitty kitty. I can see in his eyes he is saying F.U. buddy.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We just returned from Needles moms and have full bellies and a dopey look across our face. The turkey has tranquilized us to the point of laziness and a sloth-like state. It was all very good and tomorrow I have to go to work and afterwards Needles and I are going to the promise land to spend time with my family for a belated holiday. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Successful weekend.

It was a very productive weekend for me and the deer season. I harvested a 2-3 year old doe yesterday and today I was lucky to get a 2-3 year old buck. The deer have been taken to the processor and we should have a full freezer in about 7 to 10 days. My legs are sore from walking back a forth to and from the woods in mud. Also my arms are sore form lifting and field dressing deer. One of Needles uncles got a small button buck and the deer died while crossing a large ditch full of water. The deer passed while in the water and just floated there making for a rather difficult retrieval. We were able to throw a rope over the animal and pull him to the edge where we roped him to pull over the bank. All in all it was a nice first season hunt and it was a lot of fun to see the uncles and enjoy the stories, the food, the outdoors and the hunt. Here is a few pictures from the hunt.
For those of you that don't like the thought of deer being slaughtered during the deer season just think of them a taking a nap with their eyes open. The doe decided to crawl in the back of Needles truck for a snooze. Oh and the blood on the bucks neck is from shaving.....He must have nicked himself. Hee hee.

Off to the Slaughter.

Needles and I are off to her mothers house for deer season part 1. I hope I have some luck and fill my tags the first season. I weather isn't the greatest and I feel like the ground blind pictured in the previous post is probably surrounded by water. Nothing else seems to be working the way I would like so why should deer season weather be any different. I will post if I have any success monday. Have a good weekend everyone.

Tis the Season

Tis the Season Again...For me to be here. This is where I plan to spend most of my weekend.Or here. Looking for the feller that left this.
There he is.While scouting I found this.
Take a closer look. This poor feller must have eatten way too much corn in preparation for winter. He couldn't even fit back in his den. As for Mr. Deer I hope to see you next weekend.

Cold Weekend.

Today Needles and I did some long needed grocery shopping. We did eat at Applebee's while we were out and it was very good. I haven't eaten at an Applebee's for years. I had the Sizzlin Fajitas and man were they sizzling. I think they sizzled for about 5 minutes after they got to our table. When we got finished with our meal we went to Wally World and picked up a few items. A quick stop by Ace hardware and then to another Wally World to get my hunting license for next weekends slaughter. I can't wait. Bambi here I come.

No Sun Day.

Today it is cloudy and gloomy. I think we are supposed to get some rain. All the Halloween decor is put away and awaiting next year. Needles and I did run into the BIG City yesterday and pick up a few odds and ends. We also knocked a couple of names off the Xmas list with some gift purchases. With all the activity for Halloween we procrastinated for Xmas. We usually have about 80% of the shopping done by Halloween but this year we are maybe 30% done. I think it is getting late and most of the shopping we have yet to do will be done over the internet, I suspect. I can stand shopping this time of year. The lines are long and the people are crazy.

Last night we visited Rudy, Brando, Yuri and Yin. We were entertained by Yin and Choc. Silk coffee until Yin went to bed and Yuri went to spend the night at his grand parents. We watched The Village. This is probably the 7th or 8th time I have seen it. I think it is one of the best movies in most aspects. The writing is good. The cinematography is excellent. The movie is suspenseful and gets the point across without computerized special effects. The concept is original and unique in the attempt to protect themselves from the evils of modern society. The scary entity for the young people of the village is the Monster cloaked in red which is a symbol of the evil of the outside world. The evil entity for the founders of the village is evils of modern society that has seemed to follow them into their utopian society. It just goes to show you can't hide from the inherent evil of mankind. Which is a scary thought.

Weekend.

Yesterday I was dead but I am feeling much better today. The weekend is wide open for things to do but I am hoping for a nice slow weekend to enjoy at my leisure. Oh Yeah, there a few Halloween decor things that needs to be stowed away. Have a good weekend.

Home Sick.

Today I had to call in sick. This is the second time in a year I have had to do so. This is unusual as in my past jobs and over 10 years or so I think I may have missed one or 2 days due to sickness. This bug hit me hard last night at about 6pm and finally let up a bit this morning around 9:30. I feel weak, tired and have a headache. I was thinking I was getting some better but it seems the bug is hanging on. I hope I don't have to call in tomorrow also. I have been well tended to by my furry housemates. They are quick to take advantange of a hand hanging off the side of the couch and of course when I am in the restroom, that is perfect time to pester me for rubbins. I hope to get feeling better as the evening goes on. Fingers crossed.
