HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

I just wanted to say happy anniversary to my wife of ten years! Thanks for the best ten years of my life and for helping to bring Baby Sophia into the world. A better present I could never have.

Bye for now,
Shane

JUNE IS ALMOST GONE

Man time is flying by. Sophia is getting taller. Christmas is six months away. It is hot as hell.

Three questions:

1) If you could bring one person back from the dead who would it be?

2) Do you know Jess Ross?

3) Did you ever go to vacation bible school?

OZARK ABSTRACT & TITLE

So the extended vacation has come to an end and I have started working again. I am managing Ozark Abstract & Title in Ozark. Located on the square and in business since 1887. If you need a title search done, title insurance, construction disbursement, 1031 exchange or real estate closing just give us a call.

The first week flew by as I have been very busy trying to learn as much as I can and get the office organized. This week I will be out more marketing and contacting all the people I know in Christian County. Bringing in all the Christian County business I can through all of my contacts will be very important to getting the office rolling again.

Three questions:

1) Did you know I got the Dust Collector 2000 out today?

2) Have you seen Cale's Klassic yet?

3) Who will be next to have a child?

Bye for now,
Shane

GONE FISHING

Lately I have had a lot of time on my hands and I have been doing some things that before I did not have time for. I cleaned out the garage, sanded and oiled some chairs on the deck and took Sophia fishing.

We went to Lake Springfield and tried our luck. No fish were caught but we did have a nice water snake come on land right at our feet and then slink over a couple feet and start sunning himself. Sophia thought that was pretty cool!

Three questions:

1) Walnuts or almonds?

2) Did you know I washed my car for the first time since 1993?

3) Did you know I, a bottom feeder, beat Cale in a 3D archery shoot?

Bye for now,

PERSISTENCE PAYS OFF

The shell that did it, Winchester Xtended Range, 3 1/2 inch no. 5 shot



My neck is injured



The damage was extensive from only 25 yards



Something happened to my fan


I have been turkey hunting a lot. This is the second year I have tried it and the first year I have tried calling. I have had birds in gun range but I was hunting with a bow. I have had lots of birds who would gobble but not come in. I have had birds close but the brush was so thick you could not shoot. And I have had birds that happened to be on property I could not go on.

Today it all came together and I was back at the truck at 6:08 am! I went to a spot in Ozark that a friend of mine owns where I had called a group of gobblers for almost an hour yesterday. I got in before light and had a gobbler on a ridge to my right that would gobble but not move. I changed strikers and here he came. When he was getting pretty close a turkey on my left comes down from a tree. He had never made a sound. He immediately heads straight toward the decoys and I can see he is a juvenile gobbler with a beard. I said to myself, "Well that is that". One shot of 3 1/2 magnum twelve gauge and he was a goner. I scooped up all my stuff and the turkey and headed to the truck.

I was home before it started raining eating turkey breast.

Three questions:

1) Did you know Katie is now 26?

2) Would you eat wild turkey?

3) Did you know Chrysler might pull Youngblood's franchise?

Bye for now,
Shane

HORSES AND OREOS

Three questions:

1) Did you know my new email is shane.nelson@centurytel.net?

2) Owl or crow call to locate turkeys?

3) Are you tired of all this rain?

Bye for now,
Shane

HAPPY 10TH SPONGE!

Neil Spongecake Nelson turns ten today. Happy Birthday to the best dog you could ever ask for!

Three questions:

1) Where would you live if you could live anywhere in the USA?

2) What one thing would you change about your appearance?

3) Do you think I should shave my head or grow a beard?

Bye for now,
Shane

THE BELL TOLLS ON HCJ

I was informed on Tuesday that they will be closing Heritage on Thursday! Wow, two days notice. You would think after being a loyal and good employee for sixteen years that you would get more than two days notice. It just proves most people in this world aren't worth a f&#k and will lie and deceive you no matter how long you have known them or worked for them.

Three questions:

1) Did you know you can get a hell of a deal on a car for one day only?

2) Did you know the 4th annual Cabool Alumni Football Game is May 23rd?

3) Did you know that I now have lots of time to turkey hunt?

Bye for now,
Shane

TURKEY BOW HUNTING

Tried turkey hunting with a bow out of a blind for the first time. Very hard to shoot a bow out of a blind and not be seen. We saw several birds and it was a complete blast. Hopefully I will have another chance to get one this season.

Three questions:

1) What job would you have if you could start your life over?(Education)

2) Have you ever driven a tractor(50 horsepower limit)?(Yes, a whole lot)

3) If you smoked cigarettes what brand would it be?(More)
