You know, that's not a half bad idea....beats working my butt off with a chain saw!

Thank you Leon
.....they get kind of boring, but being the big dumb guy Otis claims I am, I just keep doing it!
It's 8:15 am here and I am about to feed the birds/squirrels and prepare for a Safari Hunt. Here's how I do it...in case you are interested, which you probably aren't.....
First I put out the feed, and hide some peanuts in tight crevices so squirrels will feel like they have discovered a secret stash to rob. Then I put on my Safari vest, a pair of heavy leather "snake boots" and prep my K5IIs and Bigma for the shoot. Then I sit back at my desk, wait for the action while sipping black coffee to get my blood stirring and my eyes open wide. With any luck, I'll have a shot or two within the next 30-40 minutes! Won't be anything spectacular, I don't seem to be able to do "spectacular", but it will be something?
When all done, I'll take off my vest and dump the heavy boots, get back to paying bills and say thanks for another safe hunt!
Regards!
Wow!
That was fast....I didn't even get set up good and there he was up over the fence and looking for the peanuts! He looks like he didn't even take time to wash his dirty face this morning?
He found the peanuts in a hurry......had a hard time deciding on whether to bury them or eat them now? He buried about half and ate about half.....
Boots off, vest off...another successful hunt for the old Safari Hunter! Back to paying bills....I see Mrs Rupert has been shopping at Macys again.....must have bought some nice stuff from the looks of this bill?
Regards again!
