Was just invited to bowhunt on 144 Square Miles of land in North Western Minnesota. It's actually public land, but the guy that bowhunts it says he seldom sees another hunter during the archery season.

Just got my place confirmed for the camp site near Duxford Flying Legends this year. What I would spend on a hotel I put into Sally B's fund and as she is yet again a sick old lady and grounded (3rd powerplant failiure this time a siezed crank shaft mains bearing no1 engine) she needs every penny we can get.
Cant wait until Saturday week and seeing the warbirds flying, I can also catch up on the newly aquired Eurofighter static and the totally refurbished and painted F15 that has be returned to its rightful place outside the American Air Hanger.
all we need is the current heat wave to last and its going to be yet another super weekend.

Received 4 movies that I ordered last week - 2 for me, 2 for my parents.
I got "Battle Of Britain" - Special edition, and "The Eagle Has landed" - watched the first one last night, am looking forward to the other one this afternoon.

Getting ready for the 3 day 4th of July Weekend. No specific plans, everyone I know has skipped town already so I may just be on my own for 3 days. Unless I change my mind and meet up woth friends? Going to rent a Kayak/Canoe hybrid boat for a couple days if it's available and paddle some little streams, maybe try to catch a fish. Dig the bike out of the shed and get it tuned up. Couple longs hikes, shoot the Longbow, try to get some work done on the guitar I've been neglecting, and start refinishing an old rifle that was given to me by my Uncle. Also need to make up a form for gluing up a homemade Longbow if time permits?
All in all will be a busy weekend.

You could dress as a Pimp or a Gangsta. How about a Bill Clinton costume you could hand out Cigars OK, that was just wrong!!!

Never thought of the Americans as having a theme. 
Dress casual, Blue jeans, colored T-shirt, and tennis shoes is normal for a BBQ to me.
For a fancy BBQ I wear a casual shirt with a collar nothing else changes.
No hat required but a baseball cap fits in fine with the T-shirt and blue jeans.
Have fun at the BBQ.

The Lions winning the final test of the series against the South Africans yesterday. But having said then I am pleased the South Africans won the series.
One final thing is that the Ashes start this week Come on England.

Finding out that a 63-year old biker buddy of mine actually has got an Airfix 1/24 Spitfire Mk 1A (- or so I think it was...) sitting and waiting for him to paint and assemble.
And he's a total beginner in model building, so I'm offering him advice on how to go about it.
That is: He's a beginner, I'm a little more experienced, but not by much, so this is definitely going to be interesting.

NC: Good to hear - congrats.
TE: No wonder you're mentally busted by now! Congrats with the exams, I hope you passed them well.
My positive experience today?
Buying my very first DLSR today, and getting to know it.
It's an Olympus E-420 with two lenses: 14-42 mm and a 40-150 mm, plus 4 gb card and the basic kit - strap, charger, battery, plus two UV filters to protect the lenses.
I love it already!

Nice buy BB! I very nearly bought the same camera, as I've used Olympus 35mm gear for years, which are superb quality. Went for a 'hybrid' in the end though, as my long-range and 'action' shots are very limited these days.
