    The WY lope tag, your decision, your states, WY,..?

    I'm still planning on CO in Sept, if you are needing some early apline air, have a strong back, weak mind and have PTO to burn...

    Family decision not to hunt. The hunt was going to be with my brother and dad. My parents live in Alberta, no guarantee the border would be open for him to travel. We have had to reschedule our trip up there three times already because the border closure keeps getting extended. I will keep CO in mind. Is the unit OTC, what dates are you looking at?

    So I spend the mornings outside working on little projects outside, when it gets hot I move inside. We are still unpacking boxes and organizing. In every closet there is left over carpet from when the house was built. My rant is I have never heard a person say we had an incident in the house and carpet was damaged, but luckily we had a left over piece to splice in. Said nobody ever. I am throwing all the left over pieces away.

    "People as dumb as a sack of hammers"

    I swear, I'm stunned at how some folks cannot even connect 2 thoughts, let alone remember to breathe in the morning.

    one of my guys had to get an emergency repair done today- today is July 8, right?
    I pushed the email paper through and reminded him to include the receipt for it "in with your July expense report." His email reply?

    "You mean with my June expense report, right?"

    I have been designing a deck using the local big box hardware stores design center. It has been 3 days and i have gotten 8 emails from them. "If there is anything..." signed 2 nd assistant building manager.

    For petes sake! Im not done yet! And there is a shortage of green treated lumber. Get some in the store before you start contacting me!

    If there were someplace else that was closer than 80 miles, i would go there.

    Exterior grade will do just treat it does not have to be marine grade. Never use green treated in an aluminum boat.

    After last weekend with the crowd over and we went thru an insane amount of toilet paper, paper towels, ice, beer soda and chips etc. My wife went to the cities to go to Costco to stock up. This morning I went to the pantry to grab a roll of paper towels, open the mega pack and tear one off. SHE BOUGHT THE GD HALF SHEET PAPER TOWELS. There are few things in this world that drive me more crazy than the half sheet paper towels and now I have a costco mega pack of them in the pantry.
