I might be interested in a spare tire. How much you wanting for the spare tire? I see by your phone number you must be in the Houston area. I am about 35 miles over on the east side.

Freedom never comes free. </p> </p> A sad but very true statement.</p> </p> </p> </p>

Our prayers and thanks also go out to the family of this Marine. All service men and women who joined after 9-11 enlisted knowing that they would be sent to a combat area. Marines are a special breed. They are the best of the best.</p> </p> As a parent of an active duty Marine the fear of...

Actually had to use my winch a few weeks ago. Got mud holes all over the place which the RTV goes through quite well most of the time. This one hole must of had a submerged stump which high centered. Could not go front or back. Had the wife with me so she go to stay high and dry while I drug the...

Tommy the firewood business is a very tough and hard business. If a person has the time and access to the wood and is physically able they can make a descent sideline job. We have a local guy we all call firewood Ray. He does more than firewood such as stump grinding and tree removal. During...

</p> Make my 18F here on the gulf coast fell quite balmy. Good thing I am taking a road trip south this week. I wonder how far south I would have to go to reach 80F?</p>

Got my Cuddeback camera back in the mail today. Instead of fixing the other they sent me a new one.</p> </p> Now if it would just warm up enough to get outdoors for more than 5 minutes.</p>

Don't know what brand of camera you have but most new ones have a faster trigger speed than 30 seconds. Of the 2 camera's I have the Cuddeback camera has a quicker trigger speed. Even with that I stll sometimes get pictures with no animal in the photo. The only thing that seems to hold them...

They have been on every corner around here selling firewood out of the back of trucks and trailers. Every redneck has been full time trying to keep up with the firewood demand around here. Most are selling on the side of the road for $10-20 a stack with maybe 15-20 pieces.</p> </p> Last year...

I have heard of soaking the corn in diesel. Will need to try that on the next batch. Joe my Marine and my grandson were out on the RTV last night rabbit and hog hunting. 2 rabbits, 1 miss, no hogs seen. May try the lease for hogs now that gun deer season is over.</p> </p> On my feeder I have...

Got your email thanks. The black birds show up every morning just after the feeder goes off. Lots of pic's of them cleaning up the corn. Have it set to go off at sunset also.</p> </p> No reports of bears in this area. They can stay on the other side of the river. Are you able to rebuild any...

Who's your new friend Two Guns? Does this one have a taste for trail camera's?</p> </p> Been working hard trying to find the hogs in the New Year. None on the camera for the past 2 weeks. Moved it around to a few different spots. The first pen trap is under about 6 inches of water still...

Sent the Cuddeback in for waranty repair. In the meantime have to settle for poor night time shots. This camera take great daytime shots from a great distance but night time is not so good.</p> Would of likes a better pic of this guy out at the lease. He was less than 15 foot from camera.</p>...

Great photos Onfoot. Would love to get up that way again some day. Maybe not in the middle of winter though.</p> </p> Beats our trails of knee deep mud. At least it's my mud and my woods.</p>

While we don't have the snow and ice down here on the gulf coast (this time) we are prepared for power outages also. With 3 major hurricanes in 3 years many have generators and prepare each year. We are also pre-wired to the house. A few foolish ones bought the generators with the FEMA money...
