Uncle Mike!!! You better be rallying the troops!
What is that thing on the side of your truck? Stretcher? Do you do search and rescue?
I'm so far behind I have been skimming... This post struck a cord for me. Sorry to hear of your dog's ills. My English Setter, Mose, is also about 13. He was a superb upland dog... the regional director of Ruffed Grouse Society trained him. Due to a move driven by a job change by his wife he had to thin out his kennel. He gave me Mose... steady on the point, steady to the gun, and he set me up for many successful shots on pheasant, grouse, quail and woodcock.
I spent an hour and a half sitting in the outdoor dog run last night as Mose is suffering with congestive heart failure also. He could barely breathe and couldn't stand. I bundled him up and comforted him. The look in his eyes was like he was having a panic attack.... It was nearly 11 PM when he was calmed down, breathing pretty well, and regained his feet. We went back into the house. I was prepared to find him deceased this morning... To my relief he was actually pretty good this morning and this evening.
He has light liver spots and the mud kind of overwhelms them in this photo from October 1, 2017... opening day for pheasant. The past few seasons he didn't get much field time as he was deteriorating with age. He'll get none this year.

My daughter would be lost without him
My best friend loves him for finding his deer
And he is a great companion at camp

It's hard to watch... I had a lot of memorable hunts with Mose. He liked attention and loved to hunt... In the field he responded to whistle, verbal and hand commands. He generally stayed within shotgun range in heavy cover and would hold a point indefinitely in wide open spaces. It was a pleasure watching him hunt.
Good evening – got two more boat halves painted this afternoon.
We’re in the home stretch, just need to paint the inside of the Crestliner and we can close down this operation for winter.
Definitely have the paint sprayer dialed in much better now. I use a different type of thinner today (IIRC it was xylene) and the paint seems to spread a lot better than when using lacquer thinner.

You guys are getting free fire wood? How the heck do you pull that off?
Tractor recovery to ,Recovery board, everybody's do it.
They do look like they work well.
As chipper said, Overland Recovery Boards , they have saved me and my buddies numerous times, they work great in mud and snow, tuff conditions, and tractor to ,Lol
You might have to go back to pages 1-8 or so to find comments about wood scrounging, but yes, plenty of free wood to be had here. Tree service and homeowner postings on Craigslist/Facebook every day. Often not the best firewood (but sometimes it is). Neighbors, friends, work colleagues, and just asking others about downed trees and cleanup will get more than you can use. Probably an opportunity thing compared to Wyoming, with more trees and/or more people in other locations.
Friends,family, wastebook, Craigslist, word of mouth, logging buddy. It's out there, just need the time and equipment to go and get it.
edit: I see H-Ranch beat me to it lol.
Gunny? JKJK
Good morning everybody
Heading up to help my friend work on his cabin today. I was supposed to help him in June, but then we had all the flooding. He’s getting married up there two weeks from Saturday and has a lot to do.
