Yank,
Good to hear from you. I know the feeling, I have been OVERWHELMED with deadlines and committments. Decided to take a break tonight and chill out.
I am having to fight my fans off me as I type this, I have one big old man slobbering all over me right now.
No, I am not in a bar, ... it's my big old (official name I've given him is my new old big little man) yellow labrador retriever that adopted me not so long ago.
If you happen to run into freeper Hair of the Dog on some thread, don't let her know she got me into this, into inviting this guy into my home. She did me a favor -- the more time I spend with this guy, the more I love him.
Listening to some good music tonight -- Buffalo Springfield, and feeling good about some things I got accomplished this week. The stars must be aligned in my favor (if I believed in astrology), because it's been a good, but busy week.
Did some hiking this afternoon in the surrounding woods, and apparently there is some (or one, never claimed to be an expert) bucks frequenting my space. Lots of rubs, and new ones I hadn't seen before. Took the dogs with me, and they think they've been to heaven and back.
I am their official GOD and they would attack a charging elephant if they thought it would benefit me.
The redbuds and dogwoods are showing off down here in the South, the turkeys gobbling/courting, the fish biting. The full moon in April is the ABSOLUTE best fishing of the year, when the majority of bass are on the spawning beds and angry, aggressive.
I have been stuck in front of this computer working, but the fruits of this labor will soon pay off. I have an absolutely wonderful fishing trip planned soon, complete with experienced fishing guide -- good people, a credit to the human race -- and some good drinking (hiccup) and eating planned.
Life can't get any better, and I am happy.
As for turkey hunting, it will also be on the agenda in coming days.
AS for my turkey calling -- I am an embarrassment to the sport, so I'll let an expert do it for me.
Like I said, life is good, it is spring, and hope springs eternal.
Just hearing from you again makes me feel good.
