It was a good day of shooting and spent the afternoon relaxing in my camp. Jerky for supper though, too dry to have any fires. No hot coffee today but lots of cold water in the cooler. :)

All Davy would have seen of me would be elbows and backside on a fast horse. :)

Yesterday I was thinking while making a pot of coffee with an old fashioned percolator that Ranch Roper was probably making boiled coffee in his camp. Sorry to hear you can’t have a fire, can’t even start a day without coffee.

Ya the fire would improve camp life for sure. I intend to camp well into the fall and early winter so there will be coffee!

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Ha…that scene always makes me laugh. The very last thing you would want in winter is to get soaking wet rolling around in a creek. :)
