  1. Very cool! Next time, put the North Star in the center of the frame. All the stars will then revolve around it like a merry go round.
  2. Winners from the recent photo contest are posted in a link that can be found in the lounge. Some really, really awesome shots!
  3. I watch very few and none regularly. What do you think are the best shows airing, and why?
  4. I always enjoy watching Alex, and he finally seems right at home.
  5. Yep, looking forward to it. Far from the "cookie cutter" shows that dominate the time slots now. Where'd you find the link Gary?

    iPad?

    Don't really like mine. It makes my pix look great and seems to be a good way to present them for presentation but it is so finicky! You can not see flash based websites. You can not delete photos from your iPad gallery without syncing it. You can not rearrange photos in the gallery. There are a few of the problems I've encountered. There have been a few others but to a less aggravating degree. Plays music like an iPod, surfs the web, etc. Know what you want it for before buying it I guess.
  7. Make sure to eat at either Jacks BBQ on Broadway or Demos', or better yet, both.
  8. Sure Tim, but you guys do not stand a chance in the turkey contest. Always good to see you Scott. See ya in a week again.

    Stocks

    You I do fairly regularly. Have done exceptionally well on several stocls and pretty poorly on a couple others. Ford was/is a great one for me, along with a couple nat gas companies. I've picked up a couple REITs recently and am enjoying the high dividends from them. The fact that they have increased several percentage points is a great thing as well. Do your homework and dont invest with scared money is the best advice I've been given, and can pass along. Google has a free portfolio program, google finance, that allows you to track a real, or trial portfolio. Great way to get your toes wet.
  10. Still smoking. Wish I could quit once and for all.
  11. Wait till you try to quit tobacco. I dont think I got more than 3 hours of sleep a night for 2 months. Changing what/when you eat and drink may help some.
  12. Nice eye man! Love the wide and tight shots. Good stuff.
  13. Nice! FWIW, if you have an SLR or a camera that has exposure compensation, try to get the camera to give an extra stop of exposure. It will help with losing some of that blue tint to the snow.
  14. Cool to see. Heard of them up here in NWI but never seen one. Great footage as well.
  15. I think the quality of the glass and coatings in the better binos would be worth the price even though you only have 1 eye.
  16. Saw it tonight. I'm also a huge Wayne fan. The original is one of my all time favorites. I think that the difference between the movies is the interpretation of the book that both flicks are based on. I thought that this was a pretty good movie. If you're anticipating an actor trying to be the Duke, you'll be disappointed. Enjoy it for what it is. 3 stars from me.

    Duck Hunt

    Got to hunt an afternoon and a morning while on a job in Tunica, MS. 3 of us managed to kill 22 duck, mostly shovelers, during the 2 hunts.

    Tunica, MS

    Staying in Tunica for a few days for a shoot. I thought it was always warm down here??? I guess the upper 30's is still better than the -7 we had at home when we left.
  19. My 2010 deer, both shot with a muzzlelaoder in Michigan and Indiana. Top one is Indiana. I have 1 more buck tag in MI, and a tag in Kentucky still to go. Also took a doe with the muzzleloader.
  20. Great deer! Did you run into Bub McGinnis or the Jimmer up there? LOL
  21. Switched to mechs years ago and Rage's about 4 years ago. Simply rotating the O- ring will fix the problem with the blades not remaining seated. There is no reason I can think of to use fixed blades again. If you have problems with the blades opening in the quiver, maybe you need to use a quiver designed for mechs, I use the magnetized Octane but the quivers with 2 sets of shaft holders and no foam would work as well.
