Tod, Unless things have changed an AKC limited registration keeps you from breeding and running field trials. I would expect to pay less for a limited versus full registration. I realize this may not always be true. It seems the world of pure bred retrievers has changed a lot in the past 20...

Greg, I am not an alum. I have a co-worker whose son was just accepted to the Business school at BGSU. He is really excited about it. Tom

He's got the 'look.' Congratulations. Tom

Eric, You are a blessed man! Tom

Thanks for sharing the dream you are living! Tom

You'll need a chessie for those long retrieves and to guard the boat while you're ashore! Tom

Nice fish! I never did catch a Lake Michigan Brown trout. But, lots of Coho which were my favorite to catch. It is nice when to fish move close to shore and the weather allows smaller boats to be used. Tom

That's a whopper! I can't remember seeing one that big in a long time, if ever. Tom

I've had two scopes. Bowel prep for the first was pretty rough. The second was much better. Look up miralax bowel prep and talk with your doc about doing. I'm dreading my derm visit next week. It's the full body going over. I can't imagine it is going to be an enjoyable experience for...

The virtual, CT, colonoscopy is certainly an option. However, I would caution people to be aware of the radiation dose from CT scans. Radiation expose is cumulative over your lifetime. I heard an estimate a number of years ago that by 2020 2% of all cancers would be from medical radiation...

I second everything mentioned so far and will add a couple more. Blood pressure, don't ignore high blood pressure. The second is skin cancer. We all have spent lots of time in the sun. As we get older stuff starts to grow. I had a small place on my right cheek, the size of a pencil eraser...

Eric, They are a good tractor. Without knowing your financial situation I would say it is worth repairing. You may want to look at doing the rings and pistons. Your mechanic will know more once he tears the engine down. While it is a little apples to oranges my uncle is having a 4020...

Looks like another great family trip. Thanks for sharing! From your garden, is that roofing felt? It looks thicker. I used some cardboard this year and was not really happy with it. I have used the planters paper mulch and it was OK. I am thinking of just cutting standing rye and using...

I would take him out but be cautious. I did have a puppy get parvo, who knows where from. I took him with me but didn't go out of my way to expose him to things. Tom

Pete, I haven't read the thread posted but I will share my experience living and hunting in snake country. I am a yankee, grew up in northern Illinois so I was not exposed to snakes the bite or swamps. Most of my snake encounters occurred in early fall during bow season or spring turkey...

Pete, Styptic powder helps clot. I would also keep wide, 3-4 inch Coban or vet wrap handy. It is good for pressure dressing. It is strechy and sticks to itself. You may also want to talk to your doctor about whether it would be appropriate to carry a tourniquet due to high risk activities...

I have been about 50/50 with my pickups. The best was when I had two trucks one with and one without. It seems like I put caps on small/mid-size pickups. I haul enough stuff in the full-size trucks a topper either needs to be easy to remove or it is in the way. Tom

Twenty years, hard to believe. I lurked for a while before joining, I have been around for probably close to 15 years. People have come and gone, the culture of the site has matured. It is still one of the corners of the WWW I visit regularly. Tom

I would go with the ones that are best for hiking. Some of the portages can be like rock hopping. I try to stay dry but plan to get my feet wet. Have fun, Tom

I grew fishing for Lake Michigan salmon. Spring was my favorite. We would follow the salmon from Indiana to southern Wisconsin. We would usually fish out of a small car top boat boat. We were limited to calmer days and usually fished within a mile of shore. But, we could launch off just...
