How do you drop-start a saw with that feature.....

Easy - drop it off a cliff and then claim warranty

 

[Lakeside53]

Jeff : you have the solution to women in-hand. Walk the dog in public places... I took my cat to the office a few years back - women that hadn't ever made eye contact engaged me in conversation...

I think they were talking to me...:monkey:

That actually is a good idea, when you have a nice dog......:hmm3grin2orange:

Black Labs look a lot better than the other kind, and Jeffs look really nice....

One clarification (for Jeff) : "Public places" means places where there are women, not 10 miles back in the woods, 10,000 feet up a mountain, or in the middle of a lake!

LMOAOL!! That's exactly what I was going to say!!

Actually he is quite the magnet, but he's a check valve: he's all one way. He'll get all cute and the girls do swarm over him, but I'm kinda like his wingman. He gets all the attention. He's not earned me one single phone number yet! Hopefully he'll earn his keep hunting, because he sure as heck ain't doing it on the dating scene!

He makes friends everywhere he goes. He loves the neighbor's horses.

 

[SawTroll]

How old is he???

Our Setter is 9 1/2 years, and are developing a white moustache, but he is still a puppy.....very agile.


I believe your Lab is much younger.

 

[fishhuntcutwood]

Yeah, he just turned one year old in July. This will be his first hunting season, so it ought to be fun!

HA! I had to laugh at that one. Your observations are SO correct and I completely appreciate what you're feeling! I spent the first three and a half years of my dog's life walking her all around UofM and Michigan State University, with an eye to picking up women. Guess who got all the attention? Exactly.

The only time that it wasn't just about the dog was with women who had dogs themselves. That would at least generate some sort of conversation about more than just the cuteness of my dog, especially if they were walking their dog and our dogs got along well.

Now that I'm married, of course, the dog works wonders everywhere I go. Figures, right?

 

[SawTroll]

... Guess who got all the attention? Exactly. ...

Quite normal, I guess.

Good looking doggie that to - Golden retriever?

 

[Lakeside53]

While on the dog topic... Found the perfect way to excesize the neigbors dog. He's a big Golden retreiver that got up to 130lbs... couldn't walk up the driveway without being puffed, never trained... just a big playfull mutt.

The wife whipped him into shape - first with long walks, then run full speed beside the bicycle for a mile, and - back to my point - he now also swims eveyday with the canoe for 1/2 mile... Just loves to "heel" to the paddler. Amazing swimmer - full speed for 1/2 mile, gets out and wants to go again! If I can only figure how to get him to bicycle, he can enter into the Triathelon. Oh yes, the dog now weighs 98 lb... and is "trained.".. a work in progress.


Ice - no problem... for the dog..

Ice - no problem... for the dog..

No kidding. I've had dogs' coats freeze solid while hunting. They go right back in, breaking ice along the way.

...and Andy, that dock looks familiar....I seem to remember a pretty decent home brew enjoyed there...

I don't know, maybe he's doing his part by bringing the ladies into range. Maybe I'm just not sealing the deal. But the conversation goes sometihng like this-

Her: "Hey, your puppy is really cute." (She leans in and pets him.)
Me: "Thanks. His name is Pride, and I'm Jeff."
Her: "Wow, does he hunt?"
Me: "Yep, he sure does. I've...."
Her: "Well, I gotta go my boyfriend/husband/some other guy is picking me up
in his Mercedes and he's taking me somewhere to spend vast amounts
of money on me and tell me all kinds of crap to make me feel good
about myself so I'll take off my clothes for him, which I will. You're
poor, and drive a Chevy truck with Mossy Oak camoflauge seat covers
and spend too much time flyfishing, shooting things, and oh, you smell
like timber and two stroke mix."

Well maybe not the last part, but you get the idea....:bang:

Andy, any bass in your pond. I sure love to fish ponds in my tube.

Lake (18 acres), not "pond".. lolol

We have small mouthed bass, Rainbow trout (stocked yearly), blue gill and what is locally refered to as "sunfish"... We put about 1000 trout a year in, 12-14 inches (so the bass don't eat them) , and a few 21-25 inches just to wake you up and scare the crap out of the osprey!

Looks like a very nice place. Enjoy.

You need to move back to Alaska - not so much competition from the Mercedes

 

[sawinredneck]

Yep, that Z71 will be the "nice" ride out there Jeff!!
Andy

Ha! True, but a fraction of the women...even by P.A. numbers!

Andy

It was. I had people stop me and ask me about the camo on my windows, the Rhinoliner on my rocker panels and fenders, and the Kodiak emblems on the doors....

 

[fishhuntcutwood]

Lake (18 acres), not "pond".. lolol

Actually, a lake vs. pond is defined based on the proliferation and range of submerged vegetation, not by surface area.

To my knowledge at least....
