    Joe, some old photo's

    Howdy, yes, I have a couple nice bear claw Mtn. Man type necklaces made with several bear claws. Heck, I have a beaded Plains Indian style necklace with a claw off the first bear I shot back in the '60's. BTW how is the falconry studies coming along? My buddy who raises all the exotic...

    new chalet for ducking

    Those tip out beds are a great idea, no wasted length to tow around like you'd have in a normal trailer with that many beds. I really enjoy our 21 footer. Tents are O.K. for a weekend stay, but a trailer like yours will be as nice as being at home. They have come a long way with trailers now. I...

    Joe, some old photo's

    Since it was in the 90's again today, Judy and I spent the day inside where the AC kept it at 72 degrees so we could pack up stuff for staorage up in the shop. (less to screw with when we move). And I found a box of old floppy disks with some old photos from 20+ years ago. Thought you'd get a...

    Joe.....and if the bear was not enough...

    Yes, Valley Quail are nice looking birds and I indend to raise them for release here on the place in the future. The pair here at the house always nest just a few feet away from the bird feeders and once the young hatch the family moves up to our garden and take refuge in the row of berries...

    Joe..........

    "That trick about alignment with the mountain tops,and letting down through the cloud,can be fatal." Joe, the difference in our case was FOG where it was perfectly clear above the layer of fog and on teh ground at the air strip there was a 200 foot ceiling before you got into the fog...

    Joe.............

    IT WAS A BEAR! The SOB came in last night, drank out of the pond here at the house and then decided he wanted the birds suet! He bent the 1/2" steel bird feeder over and took the wire box that held the bird suet. I looked all over this morning for it, but he must have carried it off with...

    Joe.............

    Judy took this photo through the living room window Sunday while I was down working on the pens. I think the turkeys pay the deer to spill bird seed for them! Two Jakes and a doe raiding the bird feeder. Dave

    Joe..........

    It's been 17 years since I met him and he and his wife moved to Thailand about six months after I'd met him. His name was Chuck Danials (sp) if I remember correctly. He was into Ham Radio (that's how we originally met) and before he moved I bought a military radio receiver from him that came out...

    Joe..........

    I always liked the Spitfire F VB Super Marine.........SWEET! A quick story for you and Joe. In 1991 I met a guy from Grants Pass, Oregon and after one chat we became good friends. Back in the late 30's when he was in high school in Long Beach, California he would walk past the Long Beach...

    Joe.....finished a couple pads today.

    I see on the Weather Channel that you may be getting some good rain today. So, I assume your pistol shoot was rained out too? Bummer. What size do you want the "Trapper's Cabin" to be? I'm thinking 14' X 24" with a nice 6' deep porch so you can sit in your rocking chair for dove opener. You...

    Joe.....finished a couple pads today.

    Friday we got everything back filled and started in on the flight pen pad, but decided it would be too much trouble to leave the ceanothus brush in place while working with 50'X150' of bird netting. So, Bob showed up at 7:30 this morning and we removed all the brush and we could then see the way...

    Trouble maker is back!

    Pete, it ain't porridge this bear is after. He just comes down the bear trail under the blind once every few months and likes to screw with me. It's the same bear that torn the blind seats up (TWICE!) and bit the camera last year. 3 years ago he showed up 6 nites in a row and would take down my...

    I am Back in Civilization for a few days...

    Neat photo's Ray. I especially like the one of the ice on the beach. The contrast of the dark beach sand and the white of the ice really makes it jump out. What were you doing? And it sounds like you may be going back there again soon. Have fun and pack that .44 hwen you are rambling...
