No trip to Breese instead went two trips to the big town of Casey. Seen two deer in bean fields, one road kill coon at Westfield and it had been there awhile. Suppost to go to Ind. tomorrow, will give a report on the Wabash-- sat. it was up good at Grayville. Gas today I seen at casey's in Casey was 3.499 good to see it drop may help clubs with nite hunts.

That lady always catches fish. I agree with Big Timber that is a win win situation. I bet ole 7 was ready to get out to !!

On down the road 7 daughters would mix well with Moo her 1/2 brother. Food for thought. On vacation after 12:00 today.

Have a good day boys, Jeff

This mornin' around 6:00 when I was headed south it was sprinklin' till I got to the Cumberland Co. line then that was it. Plenty warm this afternoon in Newton, when the sun came out it was humid and hot, don't beleive I'll run 'em tonite. Howdy Jeff what's goin' on durin' vacation? If it cools down at nite with no heat we should take a dog or two for 1 or 2 hrs. (how 'bout it?) But it's got too be cool for me, or real easy walkin'. I forgot seen two real nice bucks this mornin' goin' to work--- on the prairie on Popham's farm west of the old church-- nice big wide felt racks with two does eatin' beans, took off like a shot when they seen me.
