Well, the time has come, @SummRidge 's boy is turning 15! Alex is getting his permit to drive and even though Brian and myself are TOTALLY comfortable teaching him to drive we decided that Rascal should do the honors!
Just touched base with Rascal and he muttered something about feeling safer in France and I told him him to stop being scaredy trash panda and to be a good friend. Got him in line now.
Evidently Alex needed a new hunting rifle so I reckon they are headed to Knoxville to shop a bit!
On theme for this week's fun is a Browning AB3 rifle chambered in .30-06!
Y'all know what we like but be sure and wish Alex, who this post should be a surprise to, a big hearty wholesome happy birthday!
As always, thanks to @SummRidge and let's all have a great week!
Good Luck
Godspeed (especially to you Rascal & Alex)
and Keep Going!

This was a great reminder. I cleaned the gutters today instead of making leaf piles. I even swept some moss off of the roof while I was up there.
Look how clean that gutter is.
It's about time for holiday craft fairs. Which means it's time to buy a new set of hand sewn flannel pajamas for each of the kids from the old lady at the high school, and wonder how many more years she will be there.
My kids and I had a great chat yesterday with Ethan Nicolle @AXECOP and talked about what we love about This Book Might Explode @explodeybook
Well, that was the intent anyway, hopefully between the ADHD and ASD rabbit trails my kids managed to convey how much they REALLY love these books.
You should check them out. You will love them too.
These bushes looked a lot more bright and cheerful from a distance. It's still cheerful up close, just more dead and brown looking.
I suppose this bush and I might have some things in common there.
I was going to do some things but a baby just fell asleep on my lap so I am stuck in this chair forever or until he wakes up.
Remember, remember...
Guy Fawkes never followed @OldHollowTree and look what happened to him.
We're sitting in a waiting room, and my daughter sighs dramatically, "I wanted to color, but there is just a crossword puzzle here, and it's too early to do a crossword."
"Every election I don't win is fake and rigged. It's obvious. There is no way more people disagree with me than agree."
This is the position of every politician for all of history.
The forecast calls for relatively mild weather for the next couple of weeks, but when I opened the chicken coop this morning, none of the hens would come out.
All the wild turkeys were still roosting in the trees well after sunrise.
The animals know something is brewing.
