Wow. that's incredible.

Holy Hell, there's been a whack of them. Very interesting indeed. So Glen, does this mean you're dusting the cob webs off the scuba gear and going treasure hunting Lol. I wonder, and I expect there is one,for the Great Lakes, That would certainly be interesting. Closer to home.

I feel for you Dave, I truly do. I've been through it several times. It's the hardest thing there is to go through, losing your dog, your best friend who has stood by you through thick and thin with unconditional love. I could go on but I can't. My sincere condolances.

Way to go Brian. That smoked fish looks awesome, done perfect. It's time get the cob webs out of my smoker, having seen yours it has me craving some, it's been a spell. I guess I should listen to the old girl more often when she ask's, when are you going to smoke some fish? Lol.

That is not a bear. There is nothing about it that indicates it being one. Racoon yes, they can weigh over 40lbs, especially in the fall as they don't hibernate.

You are propbably right Terry, I expect they left a some things of importance out.

Dogs don't lie.

Georgeous fish, wish I was there.

We are more partial to chicken as well. My wife could eat chicken every day. I personally prefer beef and wild meat. A couple months ago I made a ground turkey meat loaf and did it on the grill as I do with my beef. It was unbeleviable. It's sunny here too but with a brisk north wind with a high of zero and - 8 wind chill. Down to -7 tonight but a little nicer later in the week.

Well rather than the traditional Thanks Giving supper (which we had yesterday) of turkey or ham I smoked part of a big ole brisket, made some yorkshires and gravy of course, and some tender sweet long carrots freshly dug out of the garden. For desert I bought a golden cake mix which I added to the batter some fresh apples, peeled, cored and sliced, cooked and cooled. the only thing I wish I had done different is to have made more or invited less people as everyone went back for seconds and there's nothing left for tonights supper Hahaha. It was nice to see everyone enjoyed it.

Not much worth posting this time. One camera quit working, another one, as with most things these days, the on and off switch is back wards so I didn't even have it turned on, then my computer deleted the pics from another one before I had a chance to look at them, found the camera I couldn't find last trip up, so four months and only pics of a lone raven eating the pork roast I had left to try and coax the wolverine in for a pic and one white tail doe and 2094 pics of cattle.

Beautiful as always Spiel. I'm glad it wound up in your hands where pride in workman ship is not forgotten.

You reached out to the right bait manuracturer Spiel. His work is second to none.
