....what town was that church in? (just wondering- I had a friend I thought that mentioned them one time-) wow...-that is different music I'm used to listening to...-but, he does have a good voice- and , I think more kids (and all people)could really benefit from listening to these groups with a Christian message, like this......

....continued prayers for your friend...-sure hope is recovering alright...

....I hope your daughter is feeling better, soon....

...lol, SteveB- -don't worry, I won't be getting my lucky parachute out today...-lol-

..sauteed squirrel in burgendy sauce... ....Troy, I would think your squirrels are safe to eat, where you are... -here's a recipie I have tried ...(only once-but, it was good-) -the recipie calls for 2 or 3 disjointed squirrels..-but, as you know, the squirrels more up north are a lot smaller....-I used 5.... WHAT'S NEEDED: 2 or 3 squirrels,skinned, cleaned, and disjointed butter 1/4 onion, peeled and diced 1 tsp. parsley flakes 1 bay leaf dash of thyme dash of ground cloves dash of mace 1 pint Beef Stock 1 cup Burgundy wine cornstarch or arrowroot and water HERE'S HOW 1. Saute the squirrel in butter in heavy frying pan until golden brown 2. Drain the butter from the pan 3. Add the onion, spices, Beef Stock and wine 4. Thicken the sauce very slightly with a paste made of cornstarch or arrowroot and water 5. Simmer covered on low heat for approx. 30 min. ....makes 4-6 servings...

....you know.... if you eat a large amount of butter...you don't have to wear deoderant?

...Wow!!...-that is absolutely beautiful, Ross... -Damascus is my favorite... -you could even fillet a fish with that! ....awesome work you do.... -lol-that was funny, Buckee-

...Congratulations, Shaun! .....awesome accomplishment- that must feel great...!

-that's funny....-lol-......... -and....congrats to you on your bear tag you drew! -that's going to be an awesome hunt- -no, I won't need a new rifle...but- -glad you brought that up, Tracy.... -something really beautiful I want to share along those lines, though, with the RT family here.... -and a real testament to how God blesses us,I guess - it was a real humbling, powerful message to me, and "coincidence" of events that floored me.... -please don't think I'm trying to preach, or anything... -it's not that- it's just that you helped me take an opportunity to share something; I just didn't know how, or when it seemed best- -after I donated my .30-06 for Buckee's fundraiser...then, not 2 WEEKS after I got it sent off to KirkV.....I won a .300 Weatherby Mag. at a banquet..... -then, when I put my .338 up for auction, for two-pointer....(on which JJL so generously bid on, then floored me by insisting I keep the rifle-)....the .358 Norma Mag that I had had my heart set on for 2 years, was still there waiting for me at a gun show -massively lowered in price...-right before the RT Colorado hunt.... -it was such an amazing thing, and timing....to sacrifice something for another, then to be unexpectedly rewarded in some way- even though a "reward" was not expected, and it was the joy out of being able to do something for friends in need... (and....I'm not sure that a lot of people here knew , that at the time, that the .30-06 and .338 were the ONLY rifles I actually personally owned myself....Terry and I jointly own a few other firearms...and then, he has a collection of his own.... ...so, without knowing the .300 Weatherby and .358 Norma would come my way...-I donated the only rifles I had...it was the only way I knew of to give the most that I had-monetarily-to try to make a difference) .....the clarity of this, and the message God had for me, really spoke to me- -and, then...the generosity of JJL, with insisting that I keep the .338- -and the joy, and the things I learned, just seeing so many people here at RT coming together here,giving so much, for friends and fellow hunters in need... -all of this really affected me... -I don't need another rifle...-but- -I may end up donating another one, though.... kathleen

...great news so far, Mike- -that's got to be a relief- -continued prayers from Alaska for your dad....

....I drew a mountain goat tag ..... -thinking about this lifts my spirits... -and I'm determined not to let anything stand in my way...

....I have that older Hoyt that needs to be re-strung that I told you about....-same draw-length.... -do you still want me to send it to you,first? -I'd like to give it to him...(or, whever you think it should go)
