a dusting of snow on the ground , yesterday morning . 19* this morning . looking like a two coffee morning again . a few days ago , I was replacing some boards on my deck railing . there was a gobbler over on posted ground going nuts . he carried on from about 10am to about 2 pm ...

that's a great feature . from what I've seen with satellite dishes , this is the downfall during the winter . this is one of those " great Ideas" I had , that never got tried . I was going to put a magnet engine block heater on the back side of my dish , to see if it would keep it clear...

that's what I see too , the FED 215's are purple , match and standard .

that's neat , congrats .

at $5 per pail , in the stores , I'd be looking for cheaper test material ;)

I did a little looking at this yesterday . I didn't know it was available to anyone that wanted it . I'm not sure if this relates , I had Directv for about 30 years . when it rained hard I lost signal . when it snowed hard I lost signal . when snow partially covered the dish I lost signal...

we've been upper 70's and low 80's for about a week now . this mornings walk it was spitting snow . caught this guy out sunning himself yesterday in the 80-85* temps .I'd say it's about 6 ft long . I think it's a black snake , I don't know snakes , I don't like any of them . it was hot...

the 140 ballistic tips shoot well out of my grandsons 260 . it's only shot paper , I can't give on game report . I expect it to do well on game though .

disappointing results .

we got a hard rain last night . it washed this other dusting bowel to where I couldn't tell where it was , and I knew about where to look . I did find another in sandy dirt , but it got washed to where the picture doesn't show it . . these are both where the loggers stack the logs . I...

yes , I'm with JD on the better time to be set up on these dusting bowels . later morning to mid afternoon . the first half of PA's spring gobbler season has a noon quitting time . if you find these , keep them in mind for future hunts . you can see how thick the trees are in this area ...

that seems to be when I see them at the dusting bowels too , JD . I don't think I've taken a gobbler at a dusting bowel . the gobblers do come in to them

I have one like you are talking about . looks like a small measuring spoon , with the notch . I got mine from a veterinarian office . I also have a tick remover that's called a " Tick Key " , if I remember right . we got into them again on yesterdays morning walk . I gave Sally a quick...

on yesterdays walk I came across where turkeys have been dusting , in a sandy patch on a dirt road . I didn't have my phone along yesterday . I'm sure there were 4 dusting bowls here yesterday . I got out early today , trying to beat the rain . today there are six dusting bowls . I usually...

I use a "bulls bag " too . I did not get the X7 system , but I wish I did . the problem I have is , the bag sets low to the bench , allowing the bottom of the pistol grip to rest on the bench . I carry along a few things to raise my bulls bag up .
