Hopefully the hogs will be moving with the warm up. Skeeters too

WOW is it fricken  beautiful down here in Charleston.  I picked up my car with a weed whacked motor about an hour ago, and the first place I stopped at was a SOUTHERN BBQ joint.  Man do they do it right down here, even the greens taste better down here.  It's HOT as all get out, atleast for me.  Chilling out around the hotel till Duckbutt gets off work so we can go sample some more southern specialties, and pick up some of Delaney's pound cake.

Oh yeah, here is my new hog machine.  One strapped to the top would cover ALL the windows.  Hopefully we can get a pic of one up there.  I honestly believe this car would fit in the bed of my truck.  Don't need power windows, just reach over and roll them up (without even stretching my arm out).

Now you just need to find a pig about that size

Final packing and list checking....

Just spent the evening on a tour of Charleston from our very own Duckbutt (aka Buffalo Stabber 3000)      I thought you would get a kick out of that Julian.  Shrimp and Grits overlooking the ocean is a pretty cool thing, helps that the company was pretty darn good too.

We worked out the details of THE "Pound Cake" transfer.  It will take place in the morning in the parking lot under cover of darkness so that no unsuspecting sweet tooth walking by will get any ideas to break into the Nissan "Lawn" series car the rental place gave me.  I swear there is a weed whacker engine under the hood.

The night was filled with longbows/recurves and arrows.  I'm simply amazed how the time flew by.  And this is just the beginning, there is whole lot more to come...

It's about to get good.  These hog hunt stories make the fishing season go by faster. Thanks guys        

[Duckbutt]

Pleasure was all mine, Mike.  Now, you go show those piggies some of your art work.    

[Mike Vines]

5# cake transfer complete.  It is going to be a loooooong tempting ride knowing Delaney's St. Jude pound cake is in my "Hog Machine"  and I cannot try any.

This will be my last post till I get home.  Reason is because I'm to much of a cheap arse to not have a smart phone or even text service.  Maybe next year.

See you all Sunday night or Monday morning.

Half way there!

Little does Mike know it would make little difference if he had a smart phone or not. Once you get to Rays all phones turn into paper weights. No cell service without a 15-20 minute drive. Good stuff too as no one can bother you and the hogs don't usually call you.

Yea, my wife just loves the fact I'm literally unreachable for four days......


But hun, time goes so fast down there its like I just hung up with you.

[hawkeye n pa]

LOL

[Terry Green]

I bought a Wilson cell booster....just for that area.  I'll make sure your wife knows about that.

I was able to call out from down by the jon boats. I wouldn't have bothered but I wanted to check on my expectant daughter. She and baby were fine and it gave me some peace of mind.

Good luck Mike and I hope you get to ruin some of those beautiful arrows you made up.
