Re: Pet Peeves

I could go on a while about driving peeves but this one in particular bothers me quite a bit and it’s non driving related. Mine is, when people do things just for recognition and applause of man. For example…if you help a family or someone in need…and then tell everybody about what you did to help. ...

Re: Covid

Hopefully you’ll do well with it. I had a headache for days and body aches from head to toe but mostly in areas I had previously injured, like my knee. I ran a fever for about 5 days that varied between 101 and 103.8 and it finally broke. I’ve had the flu and also flu with pneumonia and Covid was by...

Re: Which caliber?

I come from a 270 family. Dad reloads and it is his favorite caliber. He has probably loaded rounds in every combo you can get for the 270. I’ve killed a bunch of deer with it but I have also had too many instances of very well hit deer that didn’t hardly bleed. The type that when you recover the de...

Midway USA deals

I've been ordering fishing stuff from them for a while now but for those of you that didn't know, you might be surprised to see just how good of deals they post on other stuff. It's best to keep a keen eye on it. For example...last week I hopped over there to see what was on sale and to my surprise,...

Re: Baitcasters

Today’s bait casters are easy with the brakes, etc. My wife had never fished with one and I set her up with the brakes on and showed her the side arm and overhand cast. She’s done extremely well with it and in fact, had me get her another combo.

Re: Covid in the CrowT house

We’ve been to 3 different places asking about what they could give us for it. Two places said it was viral and just had to run its course. They wouldn’t give anything other then say not to take ibuprofen. The first place gave my wife a prescription for coughing and the inhaler but wouldn’t give me o...

But this morning she came ...

My wife isn’t having breathing problems but is sleeping a lot. She don’t have any energy or appetite. I’ve been doing my best to get fluids down her. I bet she’s not been awake no more than 5 hours total since Friday. She took a shower Sunday and ate some soup afterwards and it totally wore her out....

She tested negative for covid but earlier this week she said she was aching all over and didn’t have any energy. I went to work Thursday evening and went to give her a bye hug and she was burni...

That’s one of the disadvantages to me working the off shift. We are expected to come in to work in crap like this…then day shift people will call in and we end up having to work over because of them.

What the website pictures didn’t show was these secluded cabins were on a steep grade knob/ridge that had been te...

Re: What's your take ??

I'll be the odd one out I guess. Killing never did bother me and still don't. Pulling the trigger on a deer is no different to me than throwing a crappie in the livewell. One is a fish, the other a mammal...both end up on the table. Several times I have thrown the fish on the fillet board and they s...
