I am back from the wild
 

...I got home early yesterday evening. I decided to peruse the board. Looks like things are pretty much the same.

Did you kill anything?

What? Again??? I thought you intended to stay there forever, no?

No...I am not into killing animals any more unless I have to...but I did fire a few rounds from my .357 Mag to scare a bear away from my AO. From the speed that it took off running it appeared to have scared the shit out of him.

I had to come in to take my dog to the vet. He is getting old and something went wrong with his hip/hips and he is not walking quite right and cannot jump. The vet told me to try and keep him from moving around as much as possible over the next couple of weeks...gave him a shot for pain and gave me some pills for him to take over the next couple of weeks. The vet thinks that he just pulled/strained a muscle and if he does not improve to bring him back in a couple of weeks from now.
