I hear vertical and cliffs. Let me grab my trad gear and I'll meet you at the landing
 
Come to Michigan next year and bring several coolers to haul Venison back.
I'd love to but... New job, no vacation (until they fix the policy).
 
Good morning and a Happy Tuesday to all of you!

I am happy to announce that I kept up with all of the posts from yesterday. Apparently, though, I missed your birthday, over the preceding pages, @GarrettDie4U . Wishing you a hppay belated birthday!

Good luck to all you Smorgers getting hit with snow. Keep your eyes on the road, hands upon the wheel and drive safe.


Great tune to have with my coffee, thanks.
 
The Doors...
Morning Tim <tips hat>.
Bagged two doe this weekend, they are at the processor now. I still have 8 more doe tags to fill and two buck. I don't shoot bucks, so I give those tags away.
I wish I would have known, my toy drive could have used a couple more bucks!😉
 
it seemed like a bowl of chili type of day with the snow and cold.

You can come stay at my house until Spring Paul. Free of charge, just cook for the Mrs and I.
 
What about yurple tangs?
Hard no on that one, they look unhealthy to me. I know they are not but that’s what they look like to me.
 
But you will feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on, it's time to go
