Good catch, I tried to get away with it...

I'm taking John to shoot a couple small caliber rifles. It's his first time shooting (I know I waited until he was the ripe old age of 9.5).

We're a hunting family and I'm yet to see someone beat a deer or turkey to death.

Someone will introduce him to it one day and I want it done right. That day will be tomorrow., and done by me.

He's not nervous and ...neither am I....
🤞

Send us some good vibes.


Good choice of songs to accompany your day of shooting today sir.

Good morning everyone!
Good morning dear!
The pink RFA and the white skirt both planted their foot last night. All 7 of the new ones stuck real close to each other... I mean REAL close. Two of them are so close they make a circle, but each compromises a half of the circle. I'll get a pic after work.

On tonight's episode of Personaized tag mania, we have one of my personal favorites. I captured this beauty on the way home from work.

You only have two options in life.

Good morning Noah! That looks fantastic Paul. I'll start bringing over the animals as we await the flood.

It's an old English abbreviation. It means "His Majesty's Ship" or Her Majesty's Ship" depending on who is reigning at the time.
