My dad's idea of bonding was havin' me lug his golf clubs in 100 degree heat. I wanted to be fishing or hunting, but he didn't care about any of that, and we didn't do anything that didn't primarily interest him. <BR/><BR/>I love to read this stuff and daydream about it all...

I always carried a rifle, or shotgun on my "hunting" escapades, but truth be known, I done more sittin', scoutin', and snoozin', than I did actual shootin', as in the true meaning of HUNTING...!BRUNOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08153007543374555989noreply@blogger.com
