The holidays have come and passed. Bub celebrated his 15th birthday on New Years Day. He's gone totally deaf and doing this twisted thing, almost like MS or something. Vets not real sure, but he' still getting around so we'll just our old friend as comfortable as possible. Tawny got a new t-shirt and a Griswold nickel plated dutch oven, She got me the latest Family Guy dvd and than new fangled Craftsman ratchet. Got to visit with all my brothers, dear friends Shelia and Sam,and Ivan and Vivian. And still missed some people, there just doesn't seem to have enough time sometimes. Jeff even came down and stayed a week.So its off, auction season is in full swing. Something we really enjoy, the hunt. Speaking of that got a 1902 sausage stuffer last auction and will be needing it, as a Georgia hog hunt is coming up in Feb, Turkey season in April, Tawny and I to Colorado ATV riding in June, Lake Erie walleye in July, and a possible September Maine bear hunt with Scotty. Got a full calendar and I like it. Plenty of time to rest in the grave.
