I don't post much anymore, but I can not help myself. If the good Lord lets me live, Oct.31-2014 will be my last day of work. This date will make me 36 years at the same job and I am going to RETIRE. I have plans Come November to hunt every legal day of November, and most of Dec. with some trapping pitched in. In Jan. of 2015 I am going on a hog hunt to FL, with friends Jimmy Casto, Ron Miller, Al Smith and Dave Mitchell. When I get back I hope to spend a week or two with Smokey "Gobbler" running traps for coyote, and bobcat on his farm. After that I will play it by ear. It never hit me until today when my boss asked me what I wanted to do for a retirement party. I just wanted a cookout, outside of our lab. The good Lord has blessed me in many ways and this is just another blessing.

May our Lord Continue to bless you ! I am looking forward to Jimmy's annual Pig Gig ! If at all Possible---give those Coyotes 2 weeks before pulling those traps.
God bless you and Kathy,

I hate it when medial professionals talk about "practicing". Makes me feel like a guinea pig. LOL!

And to think I pay for the service. Maybe I should sign up for the Obama care so I don't have to pay for someone to practice on me - LOL.

I thought it was free! Or at least "affordable"...
Sorry, this thread has taken a turn for the worse...
Happy trails (blood) to all of you who can retire and enjoy additional time in the woods.
