Heaven on earth...
Is that one of the states where you use "bean field" rifles?
Nope...shotgun only..."Beanfield Rifles" are a Southern thing...

I'm here...was just discussing good hiking locations with my coworkers. It's a slow Friday...
So...what's a funkle??

We had 5 inches of rain last night in some places, thunderboomers rolling through continually from about 3:00 AM so I didn’t sleep so well. I need plenty of Java this morning….
My $.02 for JenB: Sounds like you can just about “write your own ticket” and do whatever you want. Your future looks exceedingly bright whatever you decide, but may I play the devil’s advocate?: Why the rush to a PhD? You are young enough to work for a while and find out what you really like and are good at, maybe even find a company that will pay for your PhD. Academia is overrated IMHO, unless you have a very clear vision of what you want. (Which I never did). Corin’s comment above:
I wish I had gone to grad school right from college. My problem was/is that I didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up. Now, in my 40s, I know the degrees I want, but I have neither the time nor the money.
pretty much pertains to me as well. But if you have a clear vision, more power to you Jen. Good Luck! (Minnesota (U of M) has a great program, and this area has lots of jobs, a great quality of life, and needs more good conservatives)
Sorry, had to get my Minnesota plug in….. Have a great Friday everyone!
Ah...OK. I TRIED to look it up in the dictionary (it isn't great, but it's free), but didn't find it. So I wondered...
LOL! What an apt description!
OOHH! Very nice! Our daughter starts a Watercolor class next week, and Sir SuziQ wants her to do one of the beach at Perdido Key! We got some great pics with our digital camera of a cool heron that hangs around the beach at the condo where we stay; she's going to try to paint it!
Sister, you have no idea...the place is a zoo...I'd rather nurse on the muzzle of my .45 than get stationed there...
I'm trying to maintain that delusion as well, but it is increasingly difficult since the sumac and maples are already starting to turn....
Our oldest is in his fifth year of college (he changed his major and needed the fifth year to get the classes he needed). He wants to go ahead and do grad school. He has no debt because he had a 4 yr. full-ride scholarship; he wrote a letter asking to have it extended for the fifth year and they agreed! So he'll enter grad school with no debt at all, which is good because he's an English major who wants to be a professor. He certainly won't be making the big bucks in that kind of job, but that's what he loves to do. He's not married and has no responsibilities, so this is the time to do it!
I hunt in a wooded area, so even my .270 has more reach than I really need, most of the time.
I'm not sure if the .243 qualifies as "bean field," but a farmer I know uses one in the Australian outback on "roos."
I prefer to hunt with a bow, but I've never taken a shot over a hundred yards with a shotgun...not that I wouldn't, but the area I hunt in you can't see over a hundred yards...btw, when gun season starts, it ain't huntin'...it's killin'...
When I was stationed at Camp Lejeune NC, I had the opportunity to "hunt" over bean fields...with my custom Sako 7mm RemMag (Painless), I took 5 deer in one season off two different fields...the shortest shot being 350 yards...Painless lived up to her name...with my hand-loaded Nosler Ballistic Tips, none of 'em even took a step...dead on impact...that's the way it should be done...surgical...
Hope your daughter loves her watercolor class. My daughter is also taking watercolor, at college.
oh please oh please oh please oh....
Good morning to you too! I didn't notice where we were because I was making an actual post.
LOL! The E-BAY joke was really bad!
You're welcome. ;^)
oh please oh please oh please oh....
But then again you can just say "Fearrington Schmerrington" and hunt for yourself.
Bow season starts Monday
I have no affiliation with Green Linnet, except that a high percentage of my discretionary income is spent on their products...
