I think there’s a few teams out there that will offer Kirk a 2 year deal. Not exactly a QB stacked draft coming up. He’ll be a starting quarterback for a couple years yet, and doing Kirk-O things. Just not on any real front runners.
“You like that!?”
Got out in the stand nice and early. Kinda funny how much it’s “warmed” up already. It was -13° on my drive. -9° when I left the house. Now it’s -3°! 
We’ll see what walks by. Still have a really nice 10 walking but he’s very nocturnal and rarely a morning guy. A nice fat doe would be good.

Cookie, I hope and pray your surgery went great! The world is a better place with guys like you in it.
I’ve never weighed my trims before, but I might start. I like The Bearded Butchers on YouTube. Very good at explaining and showing techniques with different kind of butchering. Cow, pig, bison, deer….. In this year’s deer tutorial, they did a lot of weighing to show what you could or should get. And they take out all the rib meat as long as it was a decent sized deer. Video was of an adult doe and they put it in the grinding pile. I also take most of the rib meat on good sized deer.
Randy, don’t forget,
The beat stick of motivation. Always handy around jobsites.
I would strongly consider trading you my wife’s treadmill/clothes hangar. I’ll have to think about it yet, cause if I get rid of it, then I’ll need to fix the closet so she could hang clothes there…… 
Do either of the fans have reverse?
Tonight I made venison roasts using backstraps. I seasoned them with a little grilling rub and some olive oil before vacuum packing weeks ago. I fried up some bacon so I could use the grease. Then added butter, and onions, and some crumbled bacon and seared the roasts in the pan. I then wrapped them in foil and baked in the oven for 20 minutes at 350° until the meat was 140 degrees. After cutting I drizzled more of the searing glaze on top. First time I tried this and they came out wonderful. Honestly didn’t need a knife after the initial slicing. Will definitely be doing this again.

Checked ice on Latoka by Alexandria. Threw some rocks on the ice. They stayed on until they hit the open water 200 feet out……

Worked between Alexandria and Carlos today until 2pm. Yes, on a roof. If you want to question my sanity, get in line!
Drove between Carlos and Le Homme Dieu and Carlos is wide open with giant whitecaps. LHD is still iced over. For now.

On my 08 and 15 Ram, I had very similar issues and both times it was an ABS sensor.
Happy Birthday Mr Wieland!
Never forget doing a Thanksgiving timeframe roof by the access of Pearl Lake near Kimball one year. I swear every 20 minutes another vehicle showed up and threw their own rocks out. Hundreds of rocks on the ice after 3 days. Mind boggling. 
…
Looks like that was “handled the right way”
Da Bears clearly have been thinking of getting another top 3 draft pick…..
I told my boys after the game, “Anyone wanna bet the coach is fired by the end of the day Friday?”
Da Bears.
Nuff said.
Caleb has some learning to do alright, but they’re inching closer. I am rooting for the Lions but this is more entertaining and closer than many would’ve thought.
Da Bears haven’t done themselves any favors in this game. 2 first downs in a half.
They’ve won the last 3 Thanksgiving day meetings but I think Detroit ain’t looking back.
Happy Thanksgiving YouBetcha! Hopefully some good action for you out there.
I’m at home this year as the family caught a very untimely bug. I’m hoping maybe I’ll be able to head out tomorrow. But today I don’t feel the strength to climb a stand. Nor the ability to stay warm.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Don’t forget the 5 minute fart walk after the first meal. Gotta make room for more!
BlackBay, that is one heck of a pic!!!
If you scratch behind his ears, maybe he’ll share!
Been stuck working long days all week during one of the weeks I wanted off the most. Oh well. I did get a chance at Brutus a week and a half ago and blew it. I’ll tell that story at some point. Really pulled my hunter heart right out. He’s still alive though.
Good luck to everyone getting out! 
214 for me also. West of Cushing. My two oldest boys (22 18) will be out with me.
Also found a dead 10 point.
What area of the state are you hunting?
Very nice buck poomunk! 
Is this the right handed model, or left handed?

Nice one Sharon!
Way to go B-Man!!! I bet the boys will be stoked.
Stay strong Randy. I haven’t been in your shoes, yet. The day will come where I and many others will be. I’m sure being there and dealing with any tough situation, beats the regret of those that couldn’t or didn’t want to be there.
Praying for your Dad’s soul and for your strength.
Woop Woooooop! 
Way to go, you crazy young’ins!
Really happy for you and John! He sure scooped up a good one.
