Enjoying Ourselves!!!!!!!

  5 years ago we attempted to get to Florida to spend some time away from the cold,  We left Carthage and in 6 hours were in Clarks Summit, PA just off I-81where we stopped for the night, during the night I didn't feel good, My Darling wife had the good sense to pack us up and head for home.  She was a Trooper and drove us straight home.  I went directly to the Hospital with 2- 95% Blockages in the Heart which they fixed with surgery.

.
It seemed that every time we tried to get south for the next 5 years I  or My Honey had a Health Issue.
.
This year we went for our January check-ups at the Doctors and said, "Let's go for it", and we headed out for a trip south, we were only going to Myrtle Beach But in South Carolina we changed our minds and went to Florida and we really are enjoying it.

Looking good dude and dudess. The Spec (Crappie) is the best eating fish I know. It ties (rivals) Halibut. It does not seem like it was five years since you were last in Okee. I do remember the times something came up, but anyway glad you guys are having a good time.
Pretty with that short gun, huh? Never got a hog before. Good on you.
Lots of farmers in FL and TX would appreciate you aim a bunch of times.
We had hoped to make ti down to Okee, but our friend brought us a Gardenia from down there.

That is YOUR aim. and I have never hunted a hog before, but definitely saw the damage they can do with that nose! WOW (But that one won't root again!)
