Good morning folks.

Sunny, beautiful day in the east. Back from a run, followed by a short hike.

Bernie, that story about the guy being shot by a deer hunter reminded me of being in central Pennsylvania back in the early 1980s working on a pipeline job -- we were laying a gas line across the Susquehanna River.

On the first weekend of deer season in November we had Sunday off, and I was thinking I'd just hike out into a wooded area near where we were working and see some scenery.

I picked up a local paper on my way out to the woods and a story caught my eye: It warned people heading out into the woods to be careful, and noted, "There will be more armed people in the woods of Pennsylvania than there were armed American troops in Vietnam at the height of the war..." That sort of blew my mind and I decided I'd just hang around the local town where we were working.

That was more than 40 years ago, but I googled this story, and apparently things haven't changed much:

At one time, there was maybe ( guessing) 5,000 people working at the plant, over 90% were day shift. They even had 2 doctors on duty during day shift. At 4:00 pm when they got off work, everyone left at once in a hurry. There was two lanes entering and three exiting with people in a hurry. Particularly during hunting season, the deer would congregate near the fence where they were safe. I saw as many as 40 in one herd next to the fence. Anyhow there was a close water source on one side of the road, but not on the other. Quite often people would hit a deer leaving the plant. Finally they dug a pond on the side without water and it became pretty rare to hit a deer.
 
Good evening everyone (possibly my first post in the evening).

I was scrolling around the computer to check on a shooting in my area (perhaps you heard about it) and decided to check here and see the happy posts about the game. I'm also excited to see the deer hunting talk....not so much about accidents. I once watched a video of a hunter fall all the way to his death from a stand. His buddy was filming the hunt from a nearby stand. Oh well, too hot/early for us to begin deer hunting.

@cordmaker Pretty birds in the pic. Do you have any robins?

Storm I have never made a Robin, as soon as I get done with this Saturday 28th, I will see if I can find a pattern. I've made over 50 Cardinals (not Loserville), yellow finch, blue birds and hummingbirds. I have a big artist show November 2nd, trying to get caught up on my stock. I am a "special guest artist" this coming Saturday. It makes me laugh at the title of special guest artist!😂😂😂

Sir, with a little proper exposure, Michelangelo comes to mind.... Your work is epic!
 
Good Sunday morning D-Leagers.

It is 77.5°F here on our way to 84° with a 9% chance of rain. That percentage would go up if @cordmaker would stop stealing our rain before it gets to my part of Kentucky.

The Cats worked over Ohio yesterday. I hope they have a shot at Ole Miss.
Tried to send some to you yesterday, not my fault!!!😂😂😂

Morning Legionnaires!

59° this morning with a high to be in the mid 70's. Yes! Nice and cool today. Got some rain yesterday so no co-ed softball. Maybe this Sunday. We needed this rain. Rest of the week to be in the mid to upper 80's. I will take it over the triple digits.

Monday night football with the Bengals vs Redskins (too old to change) tonight, maybe they can win one.

It's Monday folks, rev it up and get going.

God Bless you all.
 
Went out a few minutes ago we have another inch of rain in our gauge!
Last night around 10 we got .18". We are cloudy this morning and have a good chance of rain. I need to do a good dance while the clouds are still here.

It is 68.2°F and we are to have a high of 83° and a cooler week than last. This is what is supposed to happen in the fall.

I rewatched the game last night and enjoyed it more than the first time. I still don't know what to expect out of this team. South Carolina embarrassed them and they looked good against Georgia. Maybe Ole Miss will look past them and we get a shot.

You all have a good monday.
 
Had to renew driver's license today because it expires this coming weekend. Cost is $38.50 for 4 years or $75.00 for 8 years. I took 8 years, and it only cost me a dollar. I did not factor in the over 65 rule because I was not aware of it. Heh, heh, felt like I got a present today.
