Now that GJW (Greg Westberg) is gone I had wondered if this tradition would continue...I clearly shouldn't have been concerned.

With the 4th of July celebrations nearly upon us (which is in itself very neat...250-years is quite wonderful IMHO) I am reminded that the countdown to Fall has begun it's steady march. The days are now getting shorter, the nights longer, and planning for all of the upcoming activities will need to begin fairly shortly.
I'll be shooting sporting clays tomorrow, and I'll likely start taking it all a bit more seriously. I've already seen my first grouse for 2026 (last week in Minnesota, near to Fourtown) so those instincts are already stirring.
Walks every morning first thing (before coffee), proteins instead of carbs 1st thing, small walks after every meal, maybe a trip to the eye doctor to get everything checked out, more attention to my eating (& drinking) habits, and more time spent with other hunters and fishermen.
Words to live by, eh?
