  1. Only 3 guesses! I know deer season is over, but there has got to be a few more of my RT brothers/sisters out there? Initially I was thinking 4&1/2 like William said, but the teeth sure look like 3&1/2 to me as well.

    IL Deer Classic

    If you do keep an eye out for me, I'll have at least one and likely two rug rats aksing me to lift them up, or buy some candy, or ... well, anyone with rug rats knows what I'm talking about. I'm going to try to make at least one of Pat Reeves seminars. I'll also be there Sunday during the awards ceremony. I'm bringing home the gold this time!
  3. I have no doubt that my half time show was WAY better!
  4. Good man keeping your word Michael! Glad to see ya here again. Now you know this doesn't get you off the hook. Attendance is 50% of the grade. I did enjoy the game. Sure would have like to see Curt get the win though. Between plays and at half time I was out boiling my deer skull in a large metal bowl to get a nice jaw bone for aging. It's posted in the deer hunting room. My guests (some non-hunters) were a little freaked by my "Superbowl" deer skull half time show.

    It just isn't right... The pressure dads have to endure at pinewood derby time.

    Man taxes suck!

    I generally get 500-2000 back every year. I have a guy do ours. I used to do them, but now it gets very complicated with itemizing, medical expenses, college, travel expenses, extrenal and internal research grants, etc... Seems like every time the expert I have do the figuring ends up saving me more than I'd come up with on my own. Hope it works out that way this year!
  8. Bridgestone and the moon buggy:D
  9. Well what do you all think the age of my 08 buck is? The plaque was a birthday present from my wife. Cabela's has them if interested. >Frank
  10. That's a lot of big boned meat right there. If the story is accurate... too bad about their lease.

    Daughters gift

    Sure you'll make her day there Ken. Glad to hear you all found something the whole family enjoys.
  12. I too voted for GW both times. Voted Obama this time. Our country is in deep and bad times are just starting to be seen. I don't think the worst has been seen. My opinion was/is that Obama was the person most capable to help. Back to GW: At the time I was all for the war on Iraq. Now if there is some sort of proof (that could not be disputed) out there that GW lied about Saddam not letting us inspect the nuclear power plant then I'd feel like he was a really bad president. However, I've yet to see/hear that proof. Now we all know there were no weapons of mass destruction found so perhaps going to war wasn't the right decission after all. However, I didn't know that at the time and until it's proven I'll give GW the benifit of the doubt as well. Economy wise, I honestly don't know what percentage (if any) GW is to blame. I do feel he tried to make it seem less severe than it really was/is. Not the best move. Overall I don't think of GW's 8 years as great by any means, but then I don't think he is the worst president either. So what do I think of GW? Eh, from what I know I'd say that overall he was just ok.
  13. Wow Mach, that is a shocker! I figured Madison and St. Clair counties might go that way, but some of those other southern counties are about as rural as IL gets! It could be that everyone was still so freaked out by the things republican G. Ryan did that the mentality was to get as far from him as possible? I'm mostly republican at heart, but I do feel this shows that voters need to look at the individual 1st, then the party they represent.

    Just thought of this: a window with a spotting scope so you can watch wildlife.

    stinking thieves

    Sorry to hear that William. I use my Cabela's card the same as you. Not a bad deal considering all the fee stuff you can get over the course of a year. I hope he/she/they get caught. Did you pay for any additional protection with your card, or did Cabela's just take care of it for you anyway? They are the best company to deal with in my opinion. They are always checking for wierd transactions and now I even call them when I travel (otherwise they might suspend my card umtil I call). My wife had a card too years ago and it got to be a little more than we could pay off one month. We called them and they set up a low interest rate (5%) for a year instead of the 18% that it had.

    Hijack thread...

    Guess you're learning all about that this semester. Think Kathleen has some experience in this area as well. Speaking of enema's what if a preacher was dyslexic? Can I get an "nema" my brother.

    Pine Wood Derby Update

    Congratulations to you and your son art... There is a district race in a week or so we could race in, but I'm sure the competition will be stiff. I feel relieved that the day went well for him and think it best to leave well enough alone. I did feel bad for a couple kids who were going for the best in show (actually I thought we had a chance for that as well), but the den mother forgot the trophies for that category and instead of awarding the kids later, opted not to have it. What do you all think about best of show? I personally liked the lego car in my previously posted picture best?
  19. It is getting late at this point. My advice would be to concentrate your efforts on preventing your neighbor from poaching. Then maybe that deer will be there next year.
  20. Looks great! Your taxi related Santa?

    My First Black Bear

    That's your 1st Bear! Looks like you've been doing bears a long time. Your customer should be pleased. I prefer a rug or full mount on bears, but it's apparent that you have the touch. Too bad you're not closer to Illinois (oh yea, and that I've never killed a bear yet).

    It's gotta have a comfortable chair and a computer so you can post on the RT forums in comfort! I've also got a plaque with deer teeth on it for aging (unique and screams a man has decorated this room). Gotta have appropriate lighting as well. Can't be too bright, it is a cave after all.
