    Doing good brother! Thanks for asking. Busy with school and being part of a PTSD research team at URI. Building up my research experience, to make my CV stand apart from everyone else, I think I'm going to be going for a Ph.D in psychology, rather than a masters degree.

    How bout you?

    Dang. Are we going to have to call you Dr. Swamp? I think Dr. Stalker is a little creepy sounding.

    I have been seeing a buck in the evenings up in the pasture, this was before the antlers started but when you saw the body you knew it was a big bodied buck when ever I caught a glimpse of him I though I had the same word come to mind whoa. This morning my wife got up I heard her go down stairs she walked into the front room and looked out the front door and said whoa, that is a big body has to be a big buck. Not the rut yet I think that is what slowed my response took me about 5 seconds to get out of bed and down the stairs.

    Nothing quite that interesting. Planting food plots and getting the farm planted. The boys are both still in ice hockey. Getting ready to put cameras out. As I type this we are cleaning up, at work, from a weekend storm that knocked out power to almost 100,000 people. It was a wind event, which is much worse than a lightning storm. We are just about done. I'm ready for a break. :eek2:

    Sounds like you need that break!! I'm entering in a lottery hunt for reservoir property in RI. I don't think I'll be able to get to CT to much this fall transferring to a new school and all.
