MUDRUNNER Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 So today marks the 40th anniversary one of rock & rolls greatest tragedies...the Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash. Even though I was only one year old at the time, Skynyrd has always been one of my favorite rock bands. I remember clearly my dad playing their albums when I was a little kid, so there is some nostalgia there for me. On to the weekend plans! I am hoping to sneak out of work early today and go get a deer stand moved. Tonight Evan has a hay ride for Cub Scouts, but he has been fighting a cold for a few days so not sure if mom is too keen on him going. This morning my daughter leaves for her 8th grade class trip to Washington D.C. It should be a good experience for her and she has really been looking forward to it. Tomorrow my bride has to work, so it will just be me & the boys. Evan has his last flag football game of the season tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow evening we are going to my sisters house to celebrate my nephews 14th birthday. The kid is turning from a boy into a man at a high rate lol. Sunday we have some rain in the forecast, so doubt I will get out hunting at all this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerforged Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 I remember the crash like it was yesterday - heard about it all the way in the middle of the Med. I will be working in the shop this weekend trying to get a jump on my CHRISTmas orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Our sixteen year old is in the color guard in her high school band, might go to the football game tonight to watch her perform. We won't be going to her competition tomorrow. Need to get ou youngest daughter(eleven) to shoot the .243 a few times over the weekend. Might shoot my 308 a few more times. Have a lot of cleaning to do in my garage. Get some scrape drippers going with active scrape probably Sunday sometime. Youth hunt is next weekend. Muzzleloader opens the following Saturday, but as always is also the weekend of the state band competition. Not had much opportunity to hunt, have not sat a stand once this year and honestly everytime I seem to get motivated seems something comes up or I get stuck with the kids and cant go. Probably drag my son out a few sits when the weather is better and wasps and skeeters are not so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 We lost a great Canadian Rock star this weekend Gord Downie from the Tragically Hip... he was only 53...died from brain Cancer. he was from right here in Kingston. Anyway surprise surprise I am at work this weekend nights....I took on some extra shifts for extra cash to go away deer hunting so I am just over the hump on a 7 12 hour shift run. I will be done Tuesday morning. They took the beans off our field yesterday so if I have a good night tonight I may go out and work on a new stand I put up. so nothing exciting here guys....have a good one....CHEERS!

Rhino Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 I was fortunate enough to see Lynyrd Skynyrd in concert when I was in college. Nothing special going on this weekend. Trying to take it easy to get over the crud I've had for about a week now. Need to get over it before I head back to Missouri on 10/30.

Dawg Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Not much going on today besides getting the house squared away to entertain friends for tomorrow’s Cowboys game. Chili is on the menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Pretty busy weekend for us here! Picked up a new family member on Friday night. 8 week old golden retriever pup. I'll post a pic of him later. So just playing with him and trying to get him used to everything here around the farm. Took him for his first 4 wheeler ride last night. Wasn't too sure at first but he quickly realized it was fun and enjoyed the tour of the farm. Watched the hockey game last night, Ottawa beat Toronto 6-3! Woohoo! Heading out to a farm with our 2 year old this morning to pick out a pumpkin or two for halloween. So I imagine I'll be carving later. Going to try and get in the stand this afternoon. It was either this weekend or next weekend last year I shot my first archery deer. Really warm here for October. High of 70 for today and tomorrow then gradually cooling off.

The Bug House Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Alrights boys ... Sun night come too dang fast. Busy weekend around these parts, getting ready to move next weekend. We are a family of 6, and boy howdy do we have a bunch of stuff. I've got my buddies 30' enclosed snowmobile trailer packed to the brim and my garage is loaded with stuff ready to go. We've been in a 900 sqft house for 10 years, the new place has about 3000 sqft, and 2 garages and a small pole barn. The kids are excited to have their own rooms and Mama is excited to have her own bathroom. lol I did manage to put a shift in the treestand Sat evening ... but it's WAY to warm here for any movement. It's been terribly slow all over. I had one fawn on camera in 11 days, I'm pretty much hanging it up until rifle season which opens 11/11. Hopefully we'll start to get some cold weather by then.
