There is a blue heron nest site on the property behind me. They nest in large groups in the tops of some very large trees.

Some evenings they will circle before coming to roost, there will be 20+ herons, circling like buzzards. Its a pretty neat thing to watch.

Once they land, they start cutting up and making all kinds of racket. I had no idea they were so vocal. They can be heard from hundreds of yards away.

Those nitro shells seem to do pretty well. They came in a truck that I bought used. I should have switched out my choke from duck season, but I was lazy.

Had one come in quiet on the farm. Hung up at 45 yards and strutted and gobbled a little. He didnt come in and after 5 minutes I decided to take him.

I used to use wall mounts, but it wouldn't be practical with the large fishing kayaks today.

If there is a bird strutting off the side of the road, there are people who have already made plans for him.

I play every day. I usually hang around beyweem 700-800 on 3 minite games.

I've never studied openings or strategy. I like to come up with my own, no matter the outcome.

You're going to get your butt handed to you regardless of your skill level as you move up and down based on your elo.
We went with Louisiana Land Bank. They were pretty good to work with and they give out a check after each year.
I've been listening since I was a kid.

What a great format and a great personality, his program will definitely be missed.

I wish they would have brought in a successor. Its such a unique show, there is nothing else like it.

Such an abrupt ending, I hope everything is well with Don. I wish him a happy retirement.
Do Jost. White bay is beautiful.

Rent a boat or take a shuttle to Lime Out. Its a floating taco bar and one of my favorite places.

This gets you directly in touch with the knife maker in Japan. He makes all kinds of styles. I have his Nakiri in carbon steel. Amazing knife for veggies.

Dog proofs are cheap and work great.

I've had blow outs with my sxs. Im not sure why you think you would lose it.

Either will work.

Its much easier to move a single axle by hand and its less tires to buy when the time comes.

Hook this across the grill. It will catch a lot of stuff before it gets in your screens.

I use the radiator genie on the water hose. It works great. I've also put on a sun shade type material over the hood, like a bra on a car, to help keep the amount of seed and dirt that gets in the engine compartment.

I have also used an electric blower that I would keep in the bucket while cutting. It does a decent job and is much faster than going back to the hose.

Hose does a much better job though.

Someone said it may be the catalyst breaking down, it degrades over time and likely needs to be replaced.
