What do you enjoy that money cannot buy?

My son, raising him, probably the only thing I've done right in my life.
Sound: no doubt, a cape turtle dove cooing at an African water hole.
Both of the above from the blessing of God.

I see we share more of the same love of our guns, and our dogs!

Mine is the brindle on the left, Casper AKA Makwa, with his older girlfriend Adaline.
 
On a sentimental note watching my children excel at school and in athletics.
On a practical note my ability to train each morning. As I am getting older it is hard to see that nagging injuries are getting more and more in the way of some serious lifting.

When I first got out of high school and went to work before I started college a friend told me that money can't buy happiness, and while he is right you can't do very much without money. I also learned that most of those who said that have enough money to do pretty much all that they want to do in the first place.

So after working my rear off for 40 or so years and I finally retired I just like heading into the woods and finding a nice quiet spot where I can sit down and just watch things. I have a ledge that I can sit on for hours and watch animals down below for hours.

Yep. There's something great about waking up, realizing you aren't sure what day of the week it is, then thinking, "oh yeah, I'm retired, everyday is Saturday!"
 
Two days a week with the two year old great granddaughter. Runs us ragged but wouldn't trade it for anything. I make popcorn and we watch the kid's shows together, for a few minutes anyway. :)
 
I appreciate this entire thread! I'm touched by all the mentions of your wives. I had a loving wife for 32+ years and cancer took her from me. I still treasure those years. I found another that lost her husband after 31+ years to cancer. We are starting our next chapter.

I wish you all a sunrise in a deer blind or a fresh track on a long hunt. I hope those for myself as well.

God Bless you all,
AJ
 
A Loving wife and son.
Having a great family and great in-laws
A good dog. In my case it’s dogs! lol.

Just sitting in nature, taking in the sounds, smells, and sights. Doesn’t matter if it’s in the deer stand, chasing turkeys, or sitting along the river bank or in the boat.

Oh and I got one more. Any fishermen will understand.
That feeling when the fish takes your hook! Been fishing all my life and that feeling Never gets old, and I hope it never does!!!

One fellow talking about the "crappie thump" said, "If I caught a limit every day for the rest of my life, it still wouldn't be enough."
 
silence - no birds, no wind, no talking, no motors or manmade noise in the background.

Jerome, do you think my last post in rough camping must maybe shift as an article?

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl
