Thanks, WACenturian, for the digital help - and a long overdue hello to you and your boy!

Meats - I'm giving this posting photos a try. We'll see how it goes -

My Pop and his bird - 7 longbeards in 7 consecutive years with 7 (muzzleloader) shots just after turning 70 in March -

Keep those razor clams fresh, Brad! We'll be there soon enough, and I'll be standing on your doorstep asking - "Hey, can we go duck hunting today?"

Dude, whats the grey stuff on your chin

Meats - It's what Iowa turkeys will do to a normally sane (?) person in the space of five short weeks. Hell, I started out this season without a stitch of grey, and look at me now!

Truthfully, when I trim my face, it looks like an old grey opossum blew up in the sink. Yes, it's that bad -
