That would be the GOOD kind! Smarty!

See my edit KG. Never went duck hunting. Used to rabbit and squirrel hunt a lot. When my father-in-law was alive we would either hunt or fish just about every weekend. After he passed I just sort of gave it up. Don't like to eat wild game so I see no purpose in killing it.

Just what kind would that be?? Just kidding. Thanks a lot. I guess I am kind, kind of. A bit old fashioned. Still say thanks a lot, yes mam and no mam, even to the kids at Mickey D's, still open doors and let women pass first. Heck, it doesn't cost any more and everybody feels better for it.

I love a gentleman. I think that is how Bret won me over.

Bret likes to eat all the wild game. I will eat only a little, but Bret has a brother that has 5 kids, so none of it ever goes to waste.

I have a banjo playing friend who hunts rabbit and turkey. He'll make two trips to Kansas each year to hunt rabbit because there are so many. The folks out there look at them as just varmits and don't eat them. The first year he went out there and ask permission to hunt they ask him what he was going to do with them. They were astounded when he said he was going to eat them. He'll eat at least one rabbit every day until they are gone. It's not unusual for him to have 150+ rabbits in the freezer at the end of hunting season.

Great Murph! I like to see a man a doin what he loves.

Rabbit makes a fine meal!

These Cottontail out here are like chicken............................but better!

Murph, that's some mighty fine bluegrass there, my friend! (the U-tube link) I turned it up and was doin' some serious toe-tappin' !!!!

Thanks '46 and GJ. Not all that good at it but if it wasn't for playing music I think that I'd be a very old man by now. Music keeps me young at heart. We've since added a Dobro guitar, really brings it all together. Doing a lot of sorta non-traditional Bluegrass these days, Seldom Scene, J.D. Crowe and the New South, III Time Out, etc. I spent 25-years on Stanley Brothers, Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs and desided it was time for a change. Don't want to get pidgeon holed by only one type of music. A lot of pickers I know have done that and have no idea of all the other great music out there. My only requisit is that it is acoustic, no wires or gadgets.

Being from a German family, my folks would fix Hossenfeffer, which is sweet-sour rabbit. Smelled really good cooking but just could not bring myself to eat it - RABBIT, EAT A RABBIT

Thanks a lot KG and Vikingdog::tu::

What kind of critter do you have on your leash there?


Ken

Here is another one from the "Bucket List" (I met my son in Hawaii and steamed back to San Diego aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln) I am the one on the left.

Ken

Well, I did dig out an old picture, which I hesitated to print. I've lost about 70 pounds and Black Betty has been rebuilt.

I guess you could say that both of our "front ends" are new, however I do not have a current picture taken yet. Betty's new front end appears in the second pic...LOL

Ken, that's my buddy Jake; 20 lbs. of energy! He's a Jack Russell/mini-Schnauser mix and he loves to go fishin'! He gets all excited when one of us gets a fish on; barks & barks then has to taste the fish before we can go after another. Here he is lookin' for the critters:And here he is wishin' he was fishin':"Dad!?!?! You forgot to take me!!!!!!"

Jack, he looks like a boat load.

Nice Lund Barry!
Is it about 14"?

Ken, he absolutely loves to ride in the boat! He jumps right in over the bow, then likes to ride up front if I have the gas motor on it! He tends to get a little seasick on Puget Sound, though, so he usually just goes on the freshwater lakes.

Dale, the Lund is a WC14, which is to say it's a little over 14 ft. long and about 5 1/2 ft. wide. I traded off my 12 Lund and moved up; the 14 is great for crabbing or salmon fishing with my 15 h.p. four-stroke Yamaha, but I can also use the electric motor for lakes or even row, when necessary, although it's a little hard to manage when windy. (that's when I miss the 12 ft) It's just a great little all-around boat and very sea-worthy.

Here's what some people say my personality resembles. Watch out Jake! Them bite back!!!

Great pictures guys! Nice bike Tourist! Good job on the front end re-builds!

Jack................................you live the life man!

Oh well__________yall know,I'm camera shy ::blah::
And you also know,that you want hardly, get a photo,of my ol' face,_________without a fish,in my hands either
The last photo,is my best pal & fishing partner,Craig ****** some days,he wears,me out,from the back of the boat, like that"" 7 lb.9oz."",he has in the photo_______________we have a ball,everytime,we go,wheather,we catch fish or not

Pricey, but pretty. That front end cost twice as much as the entire engine rebuild, no joke.

Tourist........................Oh I know! I have had a couple of those 100 bill eaters!

Damn Monk.......................nice catch! Good pictures.....................

Man, I wish it was only a few hundred bucks. That's a NIB 2006 CVO Dyna Screaming Beagle inverted fork--married to a 2004 frame. *gulp* 5,500 bucks.

Truth be told, the 95-inch kit, cams, oil pump plate and upgrade, pushrods, lifters and dyno tuning were less than half of that. However, my wife really screamed the next year when the whole back end got torn off and replaced...

Edit: But well worth the hassle. You should see the way Betty handles. I am still amazed at how far she leans into corners at speed. Heavy bike, and I have never scraped a single thing! After having my fillings rattled by the new Sportster, the progressive shocks on Betty made the investment worth every penny.
