I went my first 5 years hunting with my buddies. Then they all started dying off, and in short order I was hunting alone. It took two wives and 15 years to get me back to the point where I had two sons to hunt with, and a deer camp … Continue reading →
Last year on September 18th, I posted a piece about trying out my new 30-30 rounds. Sometimes writing a weblog can be eerie. You go back and read stuff and you realize you’ve pretty much repeated yourself. Here’s the post: Reality Sets In On Sunday, I was back at the … Continue reading →

What is left of Hurricane Isaac is moving through Cincinnati this morning. We had originally thought about staying at the farm all weekend, but the forecast seemed rather dire.

So here it is, the second week in July. I should be down at camp, but it is too darn hot. It is too hot to mow, because it is too hot for the grass to be growing. Walking out the door to go the mailbox has become a planned … Continue reading →
It was a little over a year ago I announced that Moose was due to become a father, and I a grandfather. It was shortly after that, I announced that the Mooselette was undoubtedly going to be a deer hunter (notice the orange booties): I just wanted to give you … Continue reading →
I have been back to work now for going on 2 years. I am starting to dig myself out of the hole. The bills are getting paid. I decided to go back and look at an piece I wrote a little more than 2 years ago, about being a Ninety-Niner … Continue reading →
