Good day everyone... its about a week to go before Christmas.. and its about time to start shopping... i still have a few more days to gear up... i like the pressure and the fact that most of the items are gone which cuts down on needless roaming around looking at things.. this way i am conserving energy mainly mine... well i have not hunted since November and am itching to go... possibly i may go duck hunting this wednesday.. its still in the planning stage.. we shall see.. well the last few weeks have been stressful... i was down with the flu for over a week and then Mom went to Cedars Sinai hospital for a shoulder replacement... it was one long monday.. she is now home and doing well... well everyone have a merry Christmas and a happy new year....
