Sad story indeed. Glad your Dad is OK and prayers for the others.

I'm gonna say it again Darla...never a dull moment at the Oitker home:eek:. I hope Tiffany gets to feeling better, and mother nature gets to leaving you guys alone.

Hysterical:p:p:p. Thanks for the laugh:D

Tim is on his way back home after a full weekend of talking it up at the shows. A lot of people at the show tugging at him for time and conversation. Sheesh, I had no idea he was so popular:D! Visitors and vendors alike, all wanted a piece of Tim. I had a really great time hanging with Tim and look forward to doing it again. Here are a few pics of the show and our time with Tim. The show floor. Tim giving the seminar I attended on "What goes on behind the scenes of a Realtree video". A lot of cool info there for sure. My son Joe and Tim in Joes room. Tim and I at the entrance to the seminar room. I had a great time with Tim and I am looking forward to doing it again. I'll tell ya, all of you who have met Tim, that said he was a great guy, BOY is that an understatement. He is a real ambassador of Realtree and the outdoors;). 1st class all the way. (BTW Tim... when do I get my check for saying that:p) No joke folks...Tim is the real deal.

I picked up Tim this evening after his seminars and brought him over to our home for a Axis, whitetail backstrap and snow crab legs dinner. The side dishes were mac n cheese, asparagus and bisquits and a few sodas;). That Axis meat is one of a kind and a world of difference compared to whitetail. He got to meet our crew here and fit right in. Hey after all...he is a fellow New Yawker:D. It was a great mellow evening as we sat out on the deck a while the coals were warming up, having sodas, and were greeted by 4 or 5 deer that came to visit. They usually spook when they see me, but for some reason they hung around. I guess they too wanted to meet Mr. Andrus:D. I took a few pics and would post them, but somehow the pics loaded to the internal memory on the dig cam instead of the memory card:confused: and I cannot find the cable to upload them out of the camera:(. I will turn this house upside down to find that cable! I took Tim back to his room early, before he turned back into a pumpkin:p, so he could be fresh for his seminars today. We had a great time and thank you Tim for coming over! It was a blast. This forum is amazing when it comes to the amount of good/solid people on here. I am proud to be part of it. I should be hitting the show today to catch Tims seminar and I will be taking pics and vids while it is going on. I will have a FULL report on the show this evening:). Now I have to go look for that cable:o

Have a good of a time as you can have over there and be safe.

That is good news for sure Darla. Glad Mom is doing better and Randy is at the top of his game!

Congrats on the anniversary. This IS a great place to hang out;)

We use the B mobile with a real tail fan and man does it bring 'em in! I started with the foam dekes and they seem lose their paint after a few season of rolling and folding them and they just never took the good shape again. The B mobile is a heavier duty deke that is very life like. Just please be careful when carrying, and setting up those dekes. Some of those dekes are soo real looking they can fool a hunter and accidents could happen. It would not be a bad thing if you carried your dekes in a orange bag or completely out of sight during transport to eliminate ANY possible bad stuff. Good luck!

Same color too;). Congrats on the purchase and you won't need good luck with it...Its a Chevy truck:). Enjoy.

That bites Mike. You have given me reason to scour over my CC statements and see what if anything has changed. I too almost always pay off CC bills in the 1st billing period, and never get into the interest thing. My GM card is something that I might cancel. It is actually a HSBC card. Which really means Hong Kong Singapore bank corp:rolleyes:. Now I don't really need to keep funding China. They have enough of our money. I am going to look into the Cabelas card that William mentioned. It makes sense to me.

Here it comes...You asked for it! Nice work Steve;)...Funnneeee:p

I feel your pain Randy. Hang in there and do what you gotta do.

Thanks for sharing that it was a good read, and I too learned something.

Bless Dylan and the Mrs. for a job well done. Beautiful family you have there;). Congrats on the additional huntin' buddy:)

Tim made it to the hotel safely and is now checking in at the show for his credentials. He is appreciating the warm weather we are having down here. The sign of spring on the way. This show is one of the largest in the metro NYC area and draws folk from all over. Tim is doing a few seminars there with a few other BIG names in the outdoor world. One of his scheduled seminars is a look at behind the scenes; " What really goes on when filming a Realtree TV show" That oughtta be a good one;). http://www.sportshows.com/Suff_seminars.html

I am glad to get your perspective as a Lawman/prosecutor on this issue.

Just heard from Tim again. He is in the Liberty area on Rt 17 at the bottom of the Catskills in NY. He is about 1 1/2 hours away from his destination.

Mark, I'd like to follow you around with a vid cam for a week. I'm sure we can sell the footage to some network:D. Very cool you are on top of things in your neck of the woods. Be careful...please.

I just spoke to Tim Andrus. He is on the way down from his home base and headed for the Outdoor Expo in Suffern ,NY which is very close to NYC. Approx 20 miles away. He made a few coffee and PP stops along the way. I will be in touch with Tim on his Road trip, and posting updates at his command. Maybe even give a review of his seminars:D.

Have a safe trip and a great time Lewis. Looking forward to your reports.

Well said Steve.

Never a dull moment huh Darla:rolleyes:. Hope Randy has a safe trip on down.

Congrats Ruth and don't have a heart attack over the cardio quiz:D

Have a great time Frank and a safe hunt. Are you bringing your dogs?
