I like wild boar especially as sausage. I’m pretty picky about pork I eat. Get it from some local farms a lot of the time. For Christmas, I bake a ham and I drive out of the way to get what I want. Know some guys that go out and hunt with nothing but machetes and knives . We are in the part of...

Wild hogs are problem n the Carolinas too. When my wife was in grad school at Clemson getting a Forestry. They would go to the coast do research at this place near Georgetown, SC (close to Myrtle Beach). She tells people they carried guns into the forest. People always say, “For the gators...

The State Parks of SC does a Scavenger Hunt each December called Dashing Through Parks. It’s done with an app called Goose Chase. Some you can do from, but most you need to go the parks to do. Sometimes it is a specific, like Santa is there on Saturday at park x. We’ve done it each of the years...

Yeah, being at a school without problems is a plus due to the stability. It’s a rural county with a small college with a sizable Mennonite population too. It’s a small high school too. Coaching lets you get to know kids on a more personal level. Being at a point in life where I’m good...

From what I’ve read most of those Japanese shows were toned down for American audiences due to the standards of the day about violence. Also, they could fit more commercials in for us too. It was probably Starblazers here for us too. We’ll watch Planes, Trains, & Automobiles sometime over the...

I got talked back into coaching and it is killing my camping time. Cross Country in the fall & Track in the spring, but I’m enjoying it though. Gonna do a few more years, 2-4 anyway &retire for good. I’m actually retired, but able to keep teaching because of a teacher shortage. Double dipping is...

Between the forum being down and coaching Cross Country, I haven’t been on here much lately. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Would like to add the spray foam to our attic. My father had his done and you can go in his attic in the SC summer. In mine in the summer, you’ll be soaking wet in 10...

For those looking to help out in my region, especially NC, here some ideas of who you might want to look into donating to: MANNA Foodbank - They help around 16 counties in NC & have been around for 40 years. They were featured on The Today Show this week. We donate to them regularly...

I live in the city in an older neighborhood. Lots of large trees, but there will be areas that are no longer covered in trees. Flooding wasn’t much of an issue for us. Most of the rivers are dammed in Upstate SC. Really worried about people in the mountains. A lot of it is already isolated and...

Came through the hurricane in pretty good shape. We even got power back within 24 hours. A few hundred yards from us was part of an area that was decimated with trees crashing down telephone poles snapped in two. About 70% of my county(Anderson, DC) lost power & many still don’t have it. I...

Waiting on 40 mph winds from the Hurricane to arrive along with some 60-70 mph gusts. And a lot of rain. So what time will I lose power and for how long will it be out. I predict 2:49 and it will be out for 36 hours. And if it is out for longer than that, I’m loading up Jeremiah and going...

nice pics. What were the water temps? We rented a cabin in 2014 near Munising, MI and the water temps were around 40. The folks there were saying it was a colder longer winter than normal and it was usually warmer than that. I got in all the way up to ankle.

The one wee saw in Bryce we didn’t get to meet the owner. The day we got there, they were gone all day. Saw them drive in late figured we’d see them the next day. Being from the east coast, we were up really early & went for a sunrise hike. When we got back they had left. Oh we were excited...

For a little while we thought we were seeing a Camp Inn in the wild we’d never seen & were wondering who it might be & where they were headed. Then we were remembered we are not the only Camp Inn owners in this city. So I texted the other folks and they have a new tow vehicle we didn’t know...

We like camping there too, it’s just tough to get a reservation. A lot of Forrest Gump was filmed in Beaufort including the Vietnam battle scenes that were filmed at Hunting Island State Park. You can go get a box of chocolates where the box in the movie came from. We had an alligator cross the...

Been in Beaufort, SC since Tuesday. Spent a couple of days on the beach at Hunting Island State Park. Had a pretty lazy trip. Not camping this time. Heading home tomorrow.

It is pouring down rain finally. On the other hand, the shrubs are gonna grow now.

Raining a little, a very little. First pic shows how dry it is here. Should be really green grass and clover. Archie playing soccer ahead of sunset and the rain.

My wife a said the slowness at how we do some things drives her nuts, but not like it did. In NY, she said they were taught in Drivers Ed to use to tell people to speed up, move over, etc. She did that here and people wave at you to say hello. Learning the language drove her crazy. Never...

I’m a native & she is from Long Island. She hates the heat. Not sure why she stayed. The school we both started teaching in had no AC. Overcast today, rained for 75 seconds this morning, so not as hot today.
