You wanted a yellow lab anyways

Thats a GREAT video Dave. I am interested in the model number. I have seen good reports about Panasonic's picture quality. Does it record onto a tape, cd or a memory card?

Nope...thats the way it looked when I got home. I need a bigger desk, or I need to remove the laptop from it. The laptop is set to a different screen resolution. Comes in handy when seeing how a web page looks on a different pc. I should have taken the picture with two different web pages opened up. The dual screens is the cats meow. I wish I could have 4 displays. I may have to check into this to see if this is possible. I just ordered another desktop without a display(s) last night. It has the capability to run two displays also. I am hoping to talk my wife into letting me get a couple more displays, instead of removing them from my other pc. :D

Here is my desk.

I down loaded the images that were on my camera today. This is a picture of my back yard, during late summer.

Take a picture of your computer desk and post it in a reply to this thread. When I get home from work today, I will take a picture of my computer desk. I have several projects I am working on, so there is some clutter. DO NOT clean off your desk before you take the picture Show us your clutter!

This is not an administration ploy to drum up attention.

I just stumbled across this. Here is the link where I found this information. October 17, 2007 State-owned land in 12 counties in southern and western Michigan will be offered for sale as a result of the Department of Natural Resources' review of all state-owned property in each county. Counties with parcels offered for sale by auction include Berrien, Branch, Calhoun, Cass Hillsdale, Kalamazoo, Mason, Muskegon, Oceana, St. Joseph, Van Buren and Wexford. The DNR is accepting sealed bids on 39 parcels of state-owned land, as part of the department's Land Consolidation Strategy, an on-going review of all state-owned land that is outside the boundaries of a state park, forest, game area or recreation area. Click here for the list of parcels. Information on the auction, and other land available for purchase, the terms and conditions, and how to submit a bid, is available at the DNR Web site at www.michigan.gov/landforsale. Parcel information, bid forms, and offer to purchase forms also are available by sending a request to the Office of Land and Facilities, P.O. Box 30448, Lansing, MI 48909-7948, or by calling 517-373-1240. Bids on the auction parcels must be postmarked by Dec. 3, 2007. The bid opening will be Thursday, Dec. 13, 2007. Parcels are available by auction in the following counties: Berrien - one parcel in Berrien Township - one parcel in Lincoln Township Branch - one parcel in Butler Township Calhoun - one parcel in Convis Township Cass - one parcel in Calvin Township Hillsdale - one lot in Amboy Township Kalamazoo - one parcel in Alamo Township Mason - two parcels in Branch Township - one parcel in Freesoil Township - three parcels in Hamlin Township - one parcel in Summit Township Muskegon - approximately 2.9 acres of commercial property in the City of Muskegon, a formal rail corridor 1,200 feet in length, more or less. Oceana - one parcel in Benona Township - four parcels in Otto Township - six parcels in Pentwater Township St. Joseph - one parcel in White Pigeon Township Van Buren - two parcels in Hartford Township - one parcel in Bangor Township - one parcel in Covert Township - four parcels in South Haven Township Wexford - one parcel in Antioch Township - three parcels in Selma township Additional parcels also are available for direct purchase in the following counties: Alpena, Charlevoix, Chippewa, Clare, Dickinson, Gladwin, Iosco, Lake, Midland and Oakland. These parcels were offered in previous auctions and not sold. Information on these parcels will be posted on the DNR Web site, under "Sales and Leases," select "Sale of State-owned Land/Direct Land Sale." Information is posted as it becomes available, by early November. A separate form "Offer to Purchase State-owned Land" is used to request purchase of these parcels. Requests to purchase these properties can be made at any time and are not part of the current auction. Funds from the sale of state-owned parcels go into a fund from which the DNR can purchase other, more desirable, recreational land. The proceeds from the land sales do not go into the state's General Fund. "We are pleased with the response to our land consolidation project," said DNR Director Rebecca Humphries. "The land consolidation process has helped the DNR refine our land management strategy. This comprehensive review will ensure that we are using our staff and resources to maximize outdoor recreation opportunities for Michigan citizens, and provide us with funding to acquire land with high natural resource value for future generations." Every seven months, the DNR reviews a group of counties to determine which parcels will be disposed of and which will be retained. These parcels are outside of the new dedicated project boundaries for all state parks, recreation areas, state game and wildlife areas, and state forests. The parcels are classified one of three ways: retention under state ownership and DNR management, offer to another unit of government or an alternative conservation organization or disposal by exchange or sale because the parcel has limited natural resource, recreational or cultural value. "Additional lands will be available for exchange or purchase in all 83 counties as a result of this review process. We are especially interested in proposals to exchange the lands designated as surplus in exchange for land within our state forests, parks, recreation areas and state game areas. Lands available for exchange are listed on the DNR Web site," said David Freed, chief of the DNR Office of Land and Facilities. The DNR may reserve mineral rights and aboriginal antiquities on the parcels being sold. The DNR recommends all purchasers do their own research as to suitability of the parcel for the purpose intended, and conduct a personal inspection of the desired parcels. The DNR makes no representation or claims as to fitness for purpose, access, condition or restrictions. Auction sales of properties in additional counties will be held in 2008. Information on the counties included and parcels to be offered will be posted at www.michigan.gov/landforsale when available, after Jan. 30, 2008. More information on the DNR's Land Consolidation Strategy is available on the DNR Web site at www.michigan.gov/dnr under the "Land Consolidation Strategy" link on the home page.

I do not go off to deer camp. I am fortunate to be able to hunt 70 acres, 10 minutes from my house in S.W. Michigan. We have 6.5 acres, and my neighbor has 20 that I can hunt. This morning I am going to slip out back to see what I can see. Good luck to all.

I got a Hawkins 50 cal kit when I was 14.....26 years ago. I got my first deer with it, when I was 16.

I currently have a Remington 700ML. I would like to purchase a new muzzle loader. It has been a long time since I have looked at them, and there are lots of makes and models out there now. I see CVA(Electra) has an electronic ignition muzzle loader. What is everyone using? Does anyone have the CVA Electra? I am looking for some feed back on this one in particular.

Heck....thats getting warmed up. Some people run 1 1/2 cores(15 colors) and 2 cores(20 colors). The longest core you will find in my boat is a full core. If I need extra depth, I will attach a dive bomb. Depending on how much extra depth I am trying to get, determines which size Dive Bomb I use.

I like to know what direction the wind is going to be blowing when I go hunting. I check the marine forecast before I leave the house. I know exactly what stand I am going to sit in, before I leave the house. How many of you use the marine forecast for deer hunting?

Welcome aboard Bob. The only silly question is the question that is never asked. A lot of people have questions, but are uncomfortable asking them. Ask away!

Nice Lake Trout! I edited your post so that your images show up.

Welcome to the site Kevin. There is always room on board for another troller

I started using ProTroll flashers this year. This 3 1/2lb smallmouth in this picture was caught on a Siggs Rigs fly behind an 11" ProTroll flasher. I think I caught more fish on the 11" Protroll flasher than I did on an 8" Protroll flasher.

I have heard the same thing about WD-40 from my automotive classes. It is not recommended for a fogging oil.

WOW! What an avatar!!!!!!!

I moved this to the general discussion area. Hopefully you brought a camera for some pictures.

When it takes you to "edit profile", scroll down to the bottom and add your zip code. Then click on "save changes". Your zip code is kept private, and is not viewable by anyone. Your local weather will be on the home page, where you clicked on the link.

Sorry Mike. You will need to use a zip code that is closest to you.

Thats at the Binder Park Zoo. We took them to Zoo Boo.
