That notorious and infamous rodent, Punxatawney Phil has seen his shadow and predicted six more weeks of winter. He's safe but his relatives are another story.

Somebody should have shot that woodchuck as he raised his head to see out of the hole.
He would have never seem his shadow!
 
I've always been baffled by the "six more weeks" thing. February is a winter month so of course there'll be FOUR more weeks! The other two are what matter.
 
Take heart. He's wrong 60% of the time.

I mean, I'm in Georgia. I don't believe the Weather Channel half the time even when the big green clouds on the radar are swirling towards me.

What does an overgrown rat know about living on the Gulf Stream? They used badgers in the Old Country. Bet that was a lot more entertaining if it got grumpy.
 
Up here we take our marching orders from a marmot, not a groundhog. (It's official! Look it up!)

And 6 weeks? Bring it on. That seems like too little; I like winter. (y)
+1 on liking winter! We have 7" here from last night and today. That's just foreplay! I WANT TWO FEET!
 
Hmm, we don't have groundhogs here in Colorado, only prairie dogs. Well, there are marmots in the rocks at the top of the mountains that look kind of like groundhogs? I've never seen an actual groundhog in person. Guess I need to travel more?
 
Today is my favorite "Holiday"

I knew we would have 6 more weeks of winter from looking out the window.
40" of snow out the front door since early December.

"Winter last long time this high up....can't cheat the mountain pilgrim."

"Happy Groundhog" everyone!

I’m in Georgia too, and I mean do we really have winter by most standards? I cut my AC back on tonight. Lol

Be careful of this Wolfen guy. 2 messages. Both trying to sell something. He PM'ed me trying to sell something and he PM'ed my friend on here trying to sell something. Fishy.

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.

I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.

Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?

I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.
