As some of you might know, I'm getting hitched on September 19th. So one of my brothers, one sisters' boyfriend and a work bud took me out and about on Friday after work and all day Saturday.

Friday was pretty low key, sat outdoors at an Irish bar in Old Town Alexandria and drank some pints. Then Saturday we all went to the Bull Run Shooting Center in Manassas and shot clays. It was a blast!!! They rent everything there if you're not equipped, reasonable prices too. Then they took me to an Axe throwing place that just opened in Fairfax, a lot of fun too. Headed back to my place and Ubered to DC to hit my favorite outdoor brewery, Bardo's on the Anacostia waterfront next door to Nats Park.

Around 11:30 we left on foot, thinking we would have no problem finding food around that area. Wrong! Turns out DC shuts down at Midnight now, not sure if that is some kinda Covid-19 restriction of just the restrauant managers' choice. Urbered back to my place and I boiled some hotdogs and served up some nightcap shots/shooters.

Sunday morning my work bud bailed before breakfast, but the three of us headed back to Old Town and grabbed brunch at Landini's before my sister's boyfriend had to drive back to NC. Got to see the Trump Boat Parade on the Potomac while there. Came home, my bro left and I took a 3 hr. nap, happy that I didn't have to work today!

Came across this yesterday while fishing Inland Lake in Alabama.

No obvious indication of the cause for his demise.

Nice rack from what I could see of it. Heavy.

Nice pictures, Scott. I see Bambi is still alive and well in your part of the world.

At this time last year Cheryl and I were headed to the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska.
I thought while I'm reminiscing I would share a few pictures we took.
.
These are a few stops from Anchorage to our cabin in Soldotna.

Those skunks are a nuisance, we have to deal with them at the farm too. The worst part is letting a dog out at night for a final pee break, having him return smelling like a skunk and having to deal with it before bedtime.

Some prime Herifords for those of us that like a good prime steak. Taken at a friends of mine farm. Bought these as calves 2 years ago, there growth rate has been phenomenal, just shows what good land, grass, water and a bit of sun will do. Everyone have a good weeekend. :D
