Saw a good share of deer. The first one was a nice 8 point, but he was in front of the cabin across the creek. 30-06 would gone through the walls after going through him. The other nice buck was up by Thompsonville. I saw 3 or 4 going through the brush with their heads down. All I could see were there backs. I assumed one was a spike we had been seeing and let go. The buck put his head up for a second and then back down. I had them in the scope, but couldn't make out which showed the antlers. They were moving through pretty quickly, already being spooked by somebody.
Nightshift catching up. Roads north of Reed City were pretty bad with low visibility. Might put a pic up tonight. Pretty chatty day in here. Don't have to squint to understand Claude anymore... times are changing.
Careful on your Black Friday. Some stores are opening at midnight and we're already having problems. Everybody ready to spend their Obamabucks.

Morning all.
Still all bloated and too full.
Today is Friday, November 27th.
On this day in 1701 - Anders Celsius was born in Sweden. He was the inventor of the Celsius thermometer.
1779 - The College of Pennsylvania became the University of Pennsylvania. It was the first legally recognized university in America.
1901 - The Army War College was established in Washington, DC.
1910 - New York's Pennsylvania Station opened.
1963 - U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson delivered his first address to a joint session of Congress.
1970 - Pope Paul VI, visiting the Philippines, was attacked at the Manila airport by a Bolivian painter disguised as a priest.
1973 - The U.S. Senate voted to confirm Gerald R. Ford as vice president after the resignation of Spiro T. Agnew.
Kind of a slow history day... everyone else was probably too bloated and full to do anything of significance!

Ate too much, looooong day.
We do........but this is more fun.
Morning folks. Cold and sunny today. Going to take it easy as I'm suppose to drive the bus but the rumor mill has me off tonight although that hasn't been confirmed yet. The Iron Bowl kicks off at 1330 so that's what's on the schedule until bus time.
Roll Tide!
