Mabye, I had a call last week from a guy up north that saw my MM for sale ad from about 2 years ago.
To me, everything is for sale.

I just ordered a 24' enclosed trailer so if one of them sells I am stuck with one big a$$ rig.

Hey guys/girls,

It's been a while. As far as the storms we are all fine but the area will never look the same again.

Lance, The hood was on. I have some pics of it that I will post when I get back from an exotic hunt I am leaving for in the morning. I will be back sunday night.

The car should be back from the painters in about three weeks. I will post pics then too...........






(yes you did read that correctly)

laterzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exotic hunt? Does shooting looters count?

Looters are optional.
We were actually huting Axis deer and Red Stag. It was a very successful trip.

Anyway, you didnt even comment about the three weeks at the painters. I guess I will go a bit furthur and say this much. You are gonna love the new color.

"...you didn't even comment about the three weeks at the painters..."

That's because I didn't think it possible. Oh my goodness! Sounds like the obsession is out of control and someone needs some serious help.

Axis deer? As in Axis of Evil? Must be some big *** deer in Texas or North Korea or where ever you go!

One of my guys got an axis:

Also had one guy shoot a red stag.

And one got himself a fallow deer.

Those are not the actual ones they shot, they are just pics of each.

As far as the mini. It is out of control.
One of the doors had to be repaired and it was a darker blue when it came back.
Long story short. I fired the painter and the new paint shop is re-doing the entire job in the blue that I like. Insanity at its best.

Where exactly did you go on safari? Those cage free animals (I love that term) appear to be larger than two of the cars you own - from the photo they seem larger than mule deer but smaller than elk. Did you krane those out?

Bottom line, they look delicious.

What's the name of the blue? What brand? Do a search and post a chip or I can if you send the color.

Yes.

Aside from that, operation Kwik-E-Kart is slowly taking shape.
If not for this cold spell we are in (55 deg) it would have been done this weekend. More to come.

I am walking in to the UFC arena...gotta go!!!!!

Sorry about that.
Hunting season is a very bad time to try to get things done.
I was away again. Got back this afternoon.

Good news and bad news......

Good News: I killed an extra deer today.
Bad news: I shot him with my Ford F250.

I thought that was bad but later on the drive a reddish Chevy Tahoe ran off of the highway right in front of me and went down a ditch, thru a tree line, and flipped over once- ending up on its tires.
Me and my passenger pulled over and jumped out and started running.
I had to jump a barb-wire fence (fence won that round) and run trhu some major brior/sticke bushes (yes, they won too).

We stopped just short of the tahoe to kinda get a look at the situation and we noticed a babys car seat in the back seat.
We went into serious mode which doesn't happen often.
Without touching the woman in the passenger seat I climbed up on her door sill and looked her over. She was really groggy. The man driving was ok too but seemed a bit pissed that I was in his truck.
The windows were all busted except the back seat windows and they were tinted really dark so I couldnt see the situation back there. I started saying where are the kids, where are the kids!!!!
The man said in 80%/20% spannish/english accent "no kids,no kids...clothes".

I climbed in more to see what this cat was talking about.

They had some clothes folded and strapped into the car seat for some reason.

By now about 10 cars had stopped and people were working there way trhu the afore mentioned obsticals.
Me and my bro headed for the truck, deer hair and tiny parts still attached to the bumper, and headed for home.

Hey, what was the question?

More to come THIS WEEK, Mabye even some mini stuff.
Watch this space.

Excellent - although I'm excited to see the other camera's version because what I see now looks like a soft focus lens circa 1980 glam shots.

What's the top picture? Is that an exterior hinge?
