While I was out hunting today I saw this critter across the creek. When I first saw him hwe was more in the open. I originally thought it was a Coyote, but after looking at the picture I am not so sure.

This is as good as I have been able to enlarge the pic so far. It does look a lot like a wolf here. Tell me what you think in the comments.

I love history and looking at old pictures from the past. I have scanned a number of pictures my Grandfather took and sent home while he was in the service. Grandpa was stationed in Japan after WWII ended. I wish I had gotten the chance to hear his stories for these pictures, but do to a massive stroke that he suffered when I was very young by the time I was old enough to understand the stories he was not able to speak because his voice box had been paralized by the stroke. He lived a long and productive life even after the stroke. He taught me many valuable lesson growing up that did not require words to get the message across.

My weekly Redneck Cooking Post is up over at Clique Clack Food. This is one of my favorite recipe’s and it is one that can easily be made with many different meats for a variety of different meals.

This is the view that greeted me as I walked across the parking lot on my way to my truck after work today.

Anyone guess where I would rather be?

I have been using twitter for a few years now. I started using twitter not long after it went public and myself and a few friends have used it to keep in touch ever since. Twitter has become quite popular of late and that has improved the usefulness of the tool. I can get notices of breaking news, traffic congestion, pass conditions, great recipes, and see what is on the television at just about any given time of the day or the night. There are also a lot of people that, like me, use twitter as a forum to vent what ever is on our minds. You can find people with an opinion on any subject on twitter and you will find opinions on all sides of the debate on that subject as well. I like that I can find different views on all subjects, but I am getting tired of the posters that instead of posting useful information and possible alternative actions on the subject, they instead spend all of their time ridiculing and insulting everyone that disagrees with their view of the subject. I know that we all are entitled to have an opinion on any subject, and I have my opinions on most subjects that I am not afraid to share, but I do not believe that it is acceptable to insult those that disagree with me because they disagree. I have had enough of the insults and name calling. Over the next week or so I am going to look closely at what is being posted to twitter. If all someone is posting is insults then they are off my follow list, and anyone that disagrees can remove me from their follow list as well.

I just wanted to share a hardy breakfast with everyone.

One of the blogs that I read frequently is The Survival Mom. This blog is full of useful, helpful tips and ideas for being prepared for an emergency situation.

The Survival Mom is giving away an Emergency Zone Survival kit on her blog.  This would be a great kit to have to help you get prepared for an emergency. Winter is fast approaching and no matter where you live in this country there is a chance of severe winter weather knocking out power for an extended period or of any of us getting caught out on the roads for a while. This kit will help you get by until things are back to normal. Take some time to check out The Survival Mom’s blog and enter to win, you might just learn something.
