Golf and Hunting…Priority Differences

When a rangefinder reads the first object in its line of view

Strange, but true. My fish is now at least 60 pounds. It grew 10 pounds even after it died last Tuesday. It continues to grow. The best thing about a dead tuna is that you can eat it. Some of my 70 pound tuna was shipped to me Monday, and it was sufficiently thawed enough last night to prepare.

I'm sitting on the fantail of the "Ocean Pearl". I haven't been on an ocean-going fantail for almost 30 years. It brought back a lot of memories.

Went to suck it up but my wet-vac broke. Bought a new one. Even the gun room was flooded. Kept the fans and dehumidifier on full, and that’s where they’re still at. Saturday morning I dropped the bike off at Harley for some work I wasn’t comfortable doing myself. Stopped at a few stores and finally bought another garden shed for My Shirley. It was her
