Went Deer hunting, No legal deer to shoot.... 3 point or better(on at least one side not total)... Great weekend. Little on the chilly side, 24º in the morning on Sunday. Very pretty country. Here is a sunset I enjoyed

Travelled down to Lynchburg to have some BBQ and hear some Bluegrass music at Jack's House.
MMMmmm BBQ.  (too bad I had to use the cage)

Went to a local Ren Faire and hung around with the Falconer. WOW I really admire these Raptors. Planning a couple more private photo sessions. He has a 2 and 1/2 kilo european Eagle Owl that is absolutly Georgous. Can't wait.

Saturday morning Deener and I headed north to Vancouver B.C. for an over nighter. Cold rainy windy weather so we took the four wheeler..... Stopped at the duty free store at the border and picked up some smokes and liquor. Checked in the hotel around 1:30pm and it was going to be a Rock and Roll weekend........ hung out in the room for a while.....  Off to Sharkies (the hotel bar) had drinks and an early dinner... Back to the room for a few more drinks.... 7:00 pm time to take the walk to General Motors Place to see the greatest show on earth, And I'm NOT talking about the circus....... KISS with Buck Cherry opening for them...... What a show... Buck Cherry was very good... Kiss rocked the house and then some.... Met some nice people.... Back to the room around 12:30 am to hang out some more    Up Sunday morning arounf 7:00 am fixed coffee watched a little morning news and on the road around 9. took the scenic  route.  Back in the states and home around 1:30pm.... Nap time........ Up at 3:30pm and I am a  nervous F-ing wreck......................................... Hit the shower,  a shake of the head to dry the mop and off to Seattle........ I have Meet and Greet tickets to see KISS........ got down to the will call with the other fans.... Got our passes and tickets... Now once inside we get to wait until the band is ready for us... We are all talking about how many times we've seen the band, where we've seen them, all the stuff we have collected... According to all of the the wives there she told deener " your husband (me) wins first prize for having the most KISS stuff... Made a poster with my bike pics on it... The other guys thought it was cool, oh they liked my tattoo also, and my original KISS ARMY jacket... Oh WOW its time to go meet the band....... What a great time. Gene, Paul, Eric, and Tommy were great.... Got my  picture with boys. They signed my Jacket and my bike poster... All four really liked it... Tommy was very impressed.....  Also met Doc McGhee....Off to our front row seats..... KISS damn near blew the roof off the joint. 2 hours of great Rock and Rock, Fire, Smoke and blood. home at 1 am..... Made it to work for my 5am start..... Never do that again. Left early at 11am home to to a nap.... WOW did all that really just happen ?????? Yes sir it sure did.......
