Good luck tomorrow!

A couple days ago I went pheasant hunting ( first time). Took home twelve birds. Earlier today I cut up a two of them and browned them in olive oil. I added the meat, wild rice, cream of mushroom and chicken soup, mushrooms and some spices and put them in the slow cooker. Pretty tasty. Took home about a dozen birds total. I brought the other ten to a meat locker to get them smoked.

Before the queens continue their Super Bowl run tomorrow I am going to hunting again. It has been a while since I have done hunting of any kind (20 years or so). I had a blast the other day and I can see myself getting back into it. Good camaraderie, fresh air, exercise, hanging out with Mother Nature, etc.

The big issue with pheasant hunting is that you need a dog. Mrs. g and I have been contemplating getting one but we (mostly me because owning a dog is work and I would be stuck dealing with most of it) have been against it. Maybe this is a sign.................

You have more than one kid, right?

Morning Lodge.

A little skin of ice floating on the middle of the pond this AM. Must be hockey season! Dress warm for that run Bob!

Last tryout skate this AM then nail biting time for Jr waiting for the coach's call to learn his team.

I have two kids and they would have responsibilities if we got a dog. No doubt about that. I grew up with dogs and I think having a dog or pet is good for kids. I also think that a dog would be very therapeutic for little g. The issue is that most of the main responsibilities would fall on me and I am ok with that but having a dog is work.

Aside from the responsibilities there are a couple other factors. During the school year our house is empty from about 7 am until 5 pm. That's a long time for a dog to be alone in the house. We also travel quite a bit on the weekends and bringing the dog isn't an option most of the time.

Slides the handle of Crown down the bar. Ya know, just in case ;)

Hoping to go get some golf in, then maybe meet up with a buddy who is in town for work and catch some late football.

Football, football, and more football. That is all.

Have you found that lizard yet?

A few years ago the inlaws bought us a plant. It was January and we put the plant in our four season room/sunroom. Little g was just a little tyke. I was carrying little g and I approached what I thought was a brown leaf on the floor which fell from the plant. I sort of kicked at it and to my astonishment it scurried across the floor. It was some sort of little brown lizard. It stopped right in front of the sliding glass door to the deck. I opened the door and let in some below zero weather. The lizard was froze solid in just a few minutes.

Lizard- 0

Nope, never saw him after the first sighting. I'm guessing he went back out under the sliding door, because he was over in a corner of my living room and he definitely didn't go elsewhere.

Morning, Lodge. Good luck to you in the TC Marathon, Bob, but you and your fellow runners are making it * near impossible to drive, get a cup of coffee, or do a dam thing in St. Paul :p
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #156: The Ultimate Showdown

HHT for me. I know it was just an exhibition against a Canadian university, but it was great to have hockey back.

Just curious... how was he able to get under the door? Is there that much of a gap that a lizard can slither through?

That is simply a guess on my part. No doors were left open for him, and the wood dowel rod I have next to the door to prevent it from being opened did have some residual water on the bottom, so I assumed that maybe there was a small gap. The lizards down here are quite small, so it's certainly possible.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #156: The Ultimate Showdown

So jr is on a B2 team again, as expected. He had hoped to make a B1, but the group here at Edina is so tough it's a high bar to clear. Some good kids on the team. Only one real head case, that we know of. Skilled kid, but bad attitude. Some surprises in kids who made B2 while others dropped to C. At least one surprise on AA, surprise to me anyway.
