Back Again

Yep, it's been a long time.  I've been receiving emails wondering why we've been so quiet.  Well I haven't exactly broke the news to the wife yet that The Great Snow Goose Chase is going to start soon.  And to think she thought we were done last December.  What in the world could she have been thinking.  Although it (the Chase) has been everything but great, could you possibly stay home this time of year?  All the mud, the mud, the mud and the mud.  Who could miss that.  Signs of spring are showing up as there are a few birds flying around the area, but nothing to write home about, YET!  The Can's are moving pretty hard and there seems to be quite a few ducks around too. Went up to the Ditch yesterday and the lake is still froze.  Took the 4 wheeler across the ice all the way to the island without a crack.  Was hoping there would be a little water.  We're heading up Sunday to pull the plug and get the water running out of there.  You know them crazy birds seem to like the mud, so we're going to try and oblige them.  Have heard reports from NW Missouri saying that there is some killin' goin' on down there so I suppose it'll start happening shortly for us.  We haven't decided if we're gonna set up 25 deeks or 2500 deeks.  Thought maybe we'd fool 'em and just set out a few beings that everyone else in the county has thousands.  Figure we'd put out those 25 professionally mounted snows I have spread throughout the den.  The wife is hoping they don't make it back!  That's all for now, the fun is about to start.  Hope you are all ready!
