Haven't heard much from David G lately.

Wonder if this is what he has been doing... Water skiing Alaskan style

Kelsey,  im here.   I saw that on our local news,  pretty cool.  Those dogs love to run!  I have friends who have sled dogs,  the second they see  harness come out they go balistic.

I have been mostly lurcking,  moose season ya know,  That means Im in the woods before light,  zip up the street back home to the shop by 8 and drop the tools at 5, smash down some food and back into the woods.  I jumped a black bear in the dark the other night then saw it the next,  I let it pass so as not to have the repeating rat trap syndrome at my stand.      Very yummy this time of year when they are in the berries.       I was walking out in the dark th eother night and I jumped a cow and calf,  I let her get some distance then I proceeded,  "grunt grunt" from my left 100' away!! A bull!!    Too bad I couln't see him in the dark!  I grunted back.....stupid stupid stupid!!!!       I couldn'r find a tall stump to get on in the tall grass!!!       He crashed toward me and stopped in the heavy brush,  his rapid breathing made my hair stand on end.  He finally passed after I was dead silent for 10 min.   I have continuded to jump moose in the tall grass nightly,  I don't know how much my heart can take  getting startled every day.  I have been taking pics as much as possible.   It'll be good to put up a moose for the winter's meat.  Pure good  no hormone meat.   Maybe I'll get lucky with another garden bull this year?

David G,

I have a favor to ask. Please don’t shoot my favorite moose Bullwinkle. He is a movie star. He and Rocket J Squirrel were costars back in the day and split up over creative differences years ago. Rumor has it Bullwinkle travelled north to Alaska to become a recluse.

He is easy to recognize because he is:

1.) Animated and speaks English
2.) He is the dumbest Moose you will ever meet.

All joking and kidding aside, you be careful out there with those Bears and Moose! We want you back here posting. I hope ya bag a big one!

I envy you for the hormone free meat.

Oh one more favor. What is plural of Moose? I think its moose! Like for example I saw 2 moose the other day. Please dont tell me I have been saying that incorrectly all these years and that the plural is Mooses or something crazy like Meese!

One never encounters Moose in Texas or China unless you are visitng the zoo or there is a high dosage of a psychotropic substance involved.

You are cracking me up!. Unfortunately I am not that creative but keep them coming.

Did I miss something? Has anyone heard from Wags?

Hi Bill,

Negatory! I have not seen a trace of hide or hair from Wags recently. I hope that industry legend is busy working or better yet retired with a boatload of money, sitting on one of those beautiful beaches in Nam drinking umbrella drinks with a bunch of pretty ladies waiting on him at his beck and call!

He deserves it!

Lenny,  we just say....moose for everthing.

If bullwinkle is the dumb one im sorry to say...um..... Rocky will need a new partner.   The other night a little bull was jousting with a neighbors large livingroom window.    The night after the window raming he wandered into another neighbors pond during an outdoor party.   I heard the shot way down the road and minutes later I heard his "Bobcat skid steer" fire up.

Speaking of migratory water fowl,  just today I heard then saw the mass migration of our sandhill cranes.  There was about 100 birds in the flock.  As they flew over my house/shop I heard the mated pair from my lot lift off  and they joined the party.   They should be in Texas in a month or so.  Don't shoot the one with the radio tracking antennas on her legs.  She is actualy from Lodi Texas.  I onced watched her battle a bald eagle and survive.   The folks in Homer are fond of their beloved cranes.  I think they all have names.  Wanna start a fight at a local gathering mention crane hunting.  I actualy like having them around,  they mate for life and can live to be 30 yrs old so I am told.

OK,  back to the funny stuff.

Oly,  Sven and Lars all won prizes at the Stergeon Lake county fair auction.  Lars won 2 tickets to see the Polka Twins in St Paul ,   Sven won a Large bowl of meatballs and Oly won a toilet brush.
after a week they all met for coffee.    How was the Polka twins show asked Sven.
"great " says Lars.   "How were the meat balls Sven" asked Lars.  "good" said Sven "took us a week to eat them"   "Hows the toilet brush Oly?" asks Sven
"Oh! is worked great for about 3 or 4 days,  then Lena and I had to go back to  the toilet paper"

Here's one that will work...

Here's a solution to all the controversy over full-body scanners at the airports:  All we need to do is develop a booth that you can step into that will NOT X-ray you, but WILL detonate any explosive device you may have hidden on or in your body.  The explosion will be contained within the sealed booth.   This would be a win-win for everyone.  There would be none of this crap about racial profiling and the device would eliminate long and expensive trials.  This is so simple that it's brilliant.  I can see it now:  you're in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion.  Shortly thereafter an announcement comes over the PA system, "Attention  standby passengers, we now have an available seat........"

Kelsey, I love that!

Some observations I have made about people/society. (I walk every day as a mild form of exercise)(this are my observations, not scientific)

• Less than 2% of people I see will say "Hi" or wave first.
• About 50% will reply with "Hi" if I say "Hi" first.
• About 50% will still ignor me.
• On 2 seperate occasions, I have been told to do something not physically possible (and quite possibly painful) after I said "Hi" to people.
• Seniors and teenagers reply most.
• Middle aged ignor most.
• Less than 5% clean up after their dog.
• Seniors clean up after their dog the most.
• Drivers do not stop for walkers even if you are in the crosswalk way before the car gets there!
• People that are out in the AM are more friendly than those out in the evening.
• Way more than 50% of the people driving are using a cell phone.
• When you say "Hi" to most people, it shocks them.
• Since I started doing saying "Hi" to people, I enjoy the walk more.  My wife has told me I smile more too!

I do not stand on the corner and wave to passing cars, I merely say "Hello" to people I pass as I walk by. I was taught it was common courtesy. I guess it is not so "common" today.

Ok David G,,, you and Tom need to come up with something....

here is a little fun..  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iANRO3I30nM

Kelsey, that is a brilliant solution, think of all the jobs it would create in manufacturing.

Win, win
