Nope I'll leave that alone. I'd rather it be a surprise. I don't need no date hanging over my head. I'd never get it out and live with that until the 15th of April thinking I'm about to croak....no...just fking NO!
Understood, a doctor ran this program on me long ago, probably when it first came out, despite me telling her I wasn't interested. I changed doctors immediately afterwards.
 
My mother always set up the tree right after grey cup game. She’s got the old vintage mantle piece snow covered town.

We haven’t setup our tree since our daughter and grandson moved out a few years ago and moved to Quebec. Wife’s heart hasn’t been in it.

They were all going to come this year for a visit/vacation but three kids and a huge dog made it too expensive. Not enough room here and no one to look after the dog if they leave it.

Hoping to work something out for next year. Put the holiday spirit back in the season.
We have a small house with small bedrooms. The struggle is real around the Holidays. Both of our kids claim they don't want kids of their own. We'll see if that sticks. I'd love some grandkids, but we don't get everything we want, lol. I really need to add onto the house. I would have already, but the drain field is on the side where an addition makes the most sense. Other options would be a PIA and more expensive.

what and when is a gray cup game?

.

i still set one up each year, past few years have been fake. for the longest time i would buy a small live tree balled up and then plant it outside each year. i have a small row of trees i sometimes get in photos.. those are all my old xmas trees. but due to the greedy fucker down the hill and all the PITA it is having the hole pre dug because by xmas the ground is frozen and it's freakin heavy! but mainly it's mostly cuz of the greedy douche selling them just down the road a mile. when i started buying them they cost like $35 for a small balled tree.. great! i've known him for years and glad to pay, then $45, then $65, then $85... been four of five years now since i even went down to look at a price. and that was all before covid inflation!!

so now i have a fakey.. spins around and everything!!!! shitty part of that is you gotta decorate the entire tree nice, no slacking on the backside when it rotates!!!!

i want to know this though... how does a fake tree shed more needles on the floor than the real live trees did? wtf???

Ya, we switched to fake years ago too. Price over $50 for decades. Plus they didn’t last as long as they used too. Needles everywhere.

Ours has lights built in but no rotating.

I got a deer to butcher Friday night so hopefully it doesn't snow like crazy lol
I doubt it will even snow tho.
We almost butchered a deer on the way home tonight, fker jumped out 1 car in front of us, not that close but I'm still a bit jumpy after whacking the last one. Tick packing MF are everywhere.

We have a Canadian football League?...oh ya I remember now 12 players, 3 downs. no free catch, single point on a missed field goal, 20 yard end zone & full of cut or retired NFL players....I know I know a bad Canadian attitude not to love our B league sport. I used to but I also like pro wrestling when I was young.
 
Weird things going on in the Ozarks today. This morning in the course of three hours I heard more air traffic over my home than I have heard in twenty years. We are not in a flight path. Turns out that a F-15 from Qatar was circling over the Ozarks National Riverways, wasn’t long before military aircraft was as well. WTH? IMG_2652.pngIMG_2653.png

Thats some strange sheit.
Keep the guns loaded lol
 
Hey, I just read something on the Internet. Doesn't mean what I read was accurate. I did look up the F-15QA, though. It is manufactured by Boeing in St Louis for sale to Qatar.
Sounds like it has a stuck rudder if it was circling all day. They need to put QA back in QA, lol.
 
Beginning to worry about this one, she looks real stressed lately... 🤣View attachment 79828
man it's crazy how fucking cats and dogs look like they having the best sleep of their lives, like wtf did you do today to make you so relaxed?
you shit in a box and don't get to chase birds lol


i work tomorrow yet then i have off for the rest of the month!!!!

Fuck yeah! going to relax or do some house projects?

Well that would also make sense why it would say Qatar too in ATC and why it would have no call letters.
The area I live in is somewhat flight restricted as it a migrational path for birds. Basically the only thing we see is air evac copters and planes at night so far away you can barely see them. Catches one’s attention to have going on what was going on this morning, more so when they added military aircraft as well.
One of their copters went down.. https://www.kfvs12.com/2024/11/21/military-aircraft-lands-marble-hill-field-due-mechanical-issues/
But hey, ya know..maybe I just need to go roll another “bomber”… (said entirely in jest!)

I could go for some quieter skies. Apparently our valley is good for practicing bomb runs. We’ve regularly had low -flying fighter jets here since I was a kid. During the late days of the Cold War in the 70s and 80s, I can remember sitting in the woods hunting and imagining the jets were actually nukes. I also used to imagine every sound I heard when I was walking out of the woods after dark was Bigfoot or some character from whatever Steven King novel I was reading at the time 🤪 Pretty active imagination back then.

One of the things that is needed the very most when I’m trying to teach a shooter to read the wind. Not like you can actually see it. You have to imagine or visualize it. Be proud, not everyone has that ability!

That’s it, hook up a cow catcher or plow to the front of your car. You already got your deer for this season. 🦌

I was banned from participating in the grey cup pool years ago. I’d find out who’s playing and pick the most likely score. After winning three years in a row without watching the game it was decided if I didn’t watch it I couldn’t bet on it. 🤣

Baseball and hockey were the sports I usually watched. These days playoffs and Olympic Games are about it. I lost my interest in 1995 when the baseball strike started. 😒
