Nothing yet. Just rolled out of bed and finished our morning assignments meeting with the crew. It's work from home day today so I'm thinking about getting my coffee brewing then heading out for a brisk 2-3 mile walk before diving in to the computer work today. Got my brother-in-law's Bighorn Sheep hunt here in a few weeks I need to get in a little better shape for.
Sounds like a great day my friend. Man! I'd love to go hunt a Bighorn.

Tim, I've already bagged a doe this bow season. Once gun season starts, I have 10 doe tags to fill. I'll keep 3-4 for the freezer and donate the rest. You deer hunting this year? I don't take bucks, I don't think the meat is as good since they are in rut and full of hormones.

Also the 100th thousandth post is coming soon! Which will be first? 6600 posts or 330 pages? Or will it be both? ~20 posts per page x 330 = 6600 posts? Will that be a golden post of Kev posting pics of his rhododendrons?
Hopefully... 😉

Good morning to all you Smorgsidians!

Yesterday did not go as well as it was planned and that's okay as it still was a good day. Besides, where's the challenge in having a day flow without a some complication.

I hope you all enjoy whatever complications come your way today!
Morning Chris!

Also update for everyone

We are like 95% sure River will be coming home with us today! He has passed all of his tests and even pulled the NG tube out of his nose for us because he was eating so well. Thank you, everyone, for bearing with my absence over the past week, and thank you everyone for the thoughts and prayers.


Excellent!!
