WEll, if'n the squirrels (furry ones) ain't active, it might pay to jes sit quiet and watch you two... You related?  Sound like for real brothers! LMAO!

I'm tellin you that this cold will freak em out... I think them tree rats go south... to see Ms. Susan and eat cookies!

Dale,

That is an incredible story... but I gotta tell ya..I hope the only dead bodies you enounter on this trip is pesky tree rats!   :eek:  

We're lookin for that soup on Fri and whenever you roll in, we'll fix you a spot!  

Dale,

I bet you are an Alice Cooper fan. Did the song "Cold Ethel" come to mind? ROFLMAO

Doc,

I don't claim Joe as blood! He's too ugly to stand next to me in family pictures! We are brothers of the bow though, even if he ONLY shoots Martin recurves.

Brother Joe,

You gotta stop typing in capitals man. I'm getting bug eyed reading your posts.

George,

You have to let us in on the location of your squirrel stash. Maybe if we passed the hat amoung the guys once or twice?

Nu-ugh, Beastie Boy... I get first dibs on the honey hole...I invited George to Breakfast...  

Oh...but thanks for Josie Wales to quit "hollarin" at us in caps!  

Anyone else note that ole Dale is a concientious fella and never touched the "dead gal" and made his wife do it...    What a gentleman...

Maybe them fireman knew her by reputation and knew she was a boozer...  

Sounds more like wisdom to me Doc.  Hmmm, I can go over there and check on her and maybe get hit with an assault or attempted rape charge...or, I can ask my wife (another female) to go over and check on her. Yep, that has less risk involved in it.

What I didn't understand was why nobody checked for a pulse, unless they were asceered of catching something from her.

I dunno...boot toe sounds harmless enough...

Guess if someone would've cracked a beer next to her ear, she'd have sit right up!  

How'd we git on this again?  Oh, yea...squirrel hunt and squirrely woman! I got it now..   :D

Snakeeater and Doc- My hands was covered in nightcrawler guts...

There went your chance to wipe your hands...

What were you thinking?

You need to be looking for a house, not a cabin. It is the "only" house on the island between the two bridges.  That is where the main office for the region and their maintenance building sits.
The high for Saturday is supposed to be 18 with possible snow flurries.  Any accumulation isn't expected until starting Sat. evening and right now they still aren't sure.  So far we've had only about an inch of snow in the park.  It may get into the 20's and that's not too bad for January, especially when you don't need snowshoes.  

Dave....two of those squirrels were by the parking lot before you start up the hill to the cloverleaf above the breast of the dam.  They could have just gotten off the squirrel bus, but I didn't see any tire tracks in the dirt.    Our best bet for bushytails is in the brushy areas that surround the old Dietz road...it goes from the dam breast out to Rt. 96.  Up above the dam, there is much brush along that oak flat, and there was much activity in there in late November.  In addition, the triangle of land between the Rt. 30 access road and the east beach has quite a bit of brushy draws there next to the oaks.   I feel sure we will get at least some shooting.  

BTW...All...The grocery store in Manns Choice sells the best bacon in the entire world. Ask for Yoder's bacon...they will slice it for you.  You may never want to leave if you have some Yoder's bacon for breakfast 8^).   George

Remember...the guys on the mountain, Somerset/Johnstown area, have about five times the snow that we have off the mountain here.  We should actually be able to see the ground in some places.  George

Now George... dang it hoss... I just fetched up 2 dozen eggs, 5# of the best local scrapple and 10# of taters for Sat. breakfast... I'll have all them burners goin and you go psyche them boys up for bacon... Oh, yeah...I got a pound of them sausage links too. Case some miscreant don't eat scrapple!  

I CAN NOT WAIT TILL FRIDAY MORNING IT WILL BE COLD AND ALL THOSE FURY LITTLE GUYS WILL BE IN THERE NESTS . I ASKED RYAN HOW MANY GUYS HE THOUGHT WERE COMING HE SAID 50 DOES ANYBODY REALLY HAVE AN IDEA ?ALSO I WONDERED HOW MANY GRAYS WE WILL KILL HE SAID ONE SO ANYBODY HAVE A GUESS ON THE KILL OR HARVEST TO BE CORRECT .

     JOE

Joe, there's going to be a mess of guys but most of them will be at the cabin cooking, eating and drinking coffee.  

The latest forecast is for a low Saturday morning of 12, a high of 19 and periods of heavy snow.  Any squirrel in its right mind will be snug in a den tree or in the attic of the cabin.      

Friday will be cold - 19 - but partly sunny.  The squirrels should be out running around before the storm.  

How many will be killed??  I'm going to say three.  Two on Friday and one on Saturday.

Well, it looks like this weekend is going to be for the hearty!  Just great weather for stalking bushytails!  All's we will need is some wind to aid in the event.  Stumps beware!  The campfire is going to be an event unto itself!  The low is to be around 5 degrees on Friday night.  This had better be a very large bonfire!  Coffee for everyone!  Still I can't wait!  Lookin forward to it all.

I kept hoping George would push back Sat.'s start time an hour to let them critters get the arthritis outa their l'l joints and get moving about...

Oh, and the squirrels, too...  

Doc, You can sleep anytime but you can only hunt squirrels when they're in season.  Just get up an hour earlier.  I heard that old folks don't need as much sleep anyways......  

HEY! Whipper-snapper...I resemble that Comment!  

WELL YOU KNOW WHAT LARRY SAYS GET ER DONE . WELL I DONE GOTER DID . I HOPE YOU ALL CAN MAKE IT THIS YEAR I THINK THE WEATHER WILL BE A LITTLE BETTER THAN LAST YEAR .  

  JOE
