Blastin' and Castin' in the Texas Outdoors

We havea lot of good times, the road was a drug when we started way back, our wheels rolled on steady, now its forgetting the race to find an open space and leaving that city far behind We’ll be up in the morning before the sun, since anything beats working on the job and everyone knows the early worm gets the fish. The world is your oyster, let the high times carry the low, walk where the sun is shining, lay your burdens down and think to yourself that it sure feels good feeling good again.

My new pistol

I have been wanting a Ruger Mark II for a long time. They are advertised in the paper every week for about $400 but last week Carter Country was selling them for $350 so I jumped on it. Chris, if you haven't been, the store off I-10 is really cool and it is next to Fishing Tackle unlimited. I had Michelle with me so I couldn't browse like I wanted to.

I can personally attest that those things are just wonderful for emptying large steel cages of pork.

Did you get one that looks just like that with the stainless finish.; 12:45 PM

I am very proud of it.; 4:18 PM

That would have made for some tender meat...; 2:35 PM
