HOBBIES - other than egging

LOL. Sad, really. It's unfortunate there is such a dividend when it comes to guns. I've been around guns since i was old enough to handle them. My father instilled the basic principles of gun safety when i was a young kid. Never had any kind of problem.

A couple months ago i was at a buddy's house having a couple beers for a "fish fry" he was having and we got started talking about guns.. Next thing i know i'm checking out his collection of guns. I was looking at his different guns, then he hands me a .22 rifle. First thing you do when someone hands you any kind of weapon is check to see if it's loaded. If you don't know how, ask. Opened up the chamber, and a live .22 round pops out. He had taken the mag out put failed to clear the chamber when he put it away. Stuff like that is how people get hurt all the time. I could have very easily pulled the trigger and shot a hole in the wall or something worse could have happen. Banning guns is not the answer, gun safety and training is. just my .02.

Introducing the kids to the outdoors

This was yesterday. Had the girls (Java and Latte) finding, pointing and retrieving for 5 hunters and the boys (Liam and Gavin) to be in charge of hauling the birds. I had it made, I only had to bat cleanup for the other 4 that couldn't hit a nested XLBGE. :laugh:

I hope we can make it this year.It has always been real close to Master's week and I take off to go the tournament for the week. It's hard to take more time off right then.

mr toad, our hobbies are similar although we don't sail as much as we used to. I have a potager as well:




and we took our granddaughter to France, too, in 2007 and are dying to go back:



Where did you travel in the south of France? I'm also a painter; I have a French series that I did from the Languedoc area and Paris. It makes travel tax-deductible, too.

Adam,

I am from Oshawa Ontario. I do a lot of fishing on Lake Simcoe north of Toronto. Those pics are taken 12 miles out on the lake as per GPS. Nice crappies btw. I get quite a few of them in the spring. In the winter I target, lakers, whitefish, walleye, and perch.
Lots of fun...
