57th Annual Wild Game Feed

I was at a recent meeting of the members of the Annual Wild Game Feed where it was announced that the tickets for this year's Feed will be available for sale on June 1, 2025, at 8 am.  However, that being said, that could change, so watchout for info coming directly from the Annual Wild Game Feed in the form of emails or messages,   Just know that it is arriving quickly, so be prepared.  Also, this year the Feed will be on Friday, September 19, 2025, at Oak canyon Park at Irvine Lake.

As many of you know, my health is not the greatest, so it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to attend, but I am still planning to be there again.  One year at a time.  That is the best I can do for now.  And as always, I hope to meet with everyone once again and find out what is new with you.  

On a sad note, I doubt I will have any cigars to hand out this year, Two things happened, 1) my doctor said to quit, and 2) my source dried up. So if I have any at all, it will be because I found a stash I hid away and forgot about.  Oh well, it looks as though the cigars from me at the Feed are going the way of the pickled quail eggs.  At least the Feed sells some good ones at great prices,

So make certain your payment method info is up to date, and remember, the tickets will sell out in just a few hours (remember the Feeding frenzy last year).  So if you plan to be there this year, do not hesitate to place your order when the ticket sales go live.

See you at the Feed!

Biggie -- In Memoriam

On Tuesday, December 24, 2024.  Christmas Eve, Biggie made his final trip to the vet.  On Monday, December 23^rd, Biggie suffered a stroke, paralyzing one side of his body.  He could no longer eat, drink, or walk.  We received a phone call early Monday morning from Biggie’s mom letting us know the situation with Biggie, and Rachael, my wife was able to go over to her home to hold and comfort him while Sara, Biggie’s mom, went to her job for a few hours.  Tuesday my wife returned to Sara’s home and, along with other members of Sara’s family, they were able to take Biggie on his final ride.  Biggie is now permanently in our back yard in a place selected for him some time ago.  Biggie was just a few weeks short of his 19^th birthday. We were blessed to have had him for most of those years.  

I realize it has been many months since I last posted anything, and that is entirely my fault.  As many already know, I am not well.  Chronic back pain, vertigo, and a constant shaking due to essential tremors and/or Parkinson’s form the basis of my many problems.  Add to that a few other old man problems, and…well, you get the idea.  Then when we lost Biggie, I just descended into a depression the like of which I  have not experienced in about 50 years.  To top it off, both of my laptop computers, just quit on me.  Needless to say, the last 6 months have been zero fun.  But that is now behind me.  I hope to do better with my postings, at least for a while.

The Feed is just a few long months away now.  This year is will be, once again, the third Friday in September.  The date is September 19, 2025, and it looks like it will be bigger and better than ever.  I can’t wait.  I just hope to be well enough to get there once again.  Ticket sales will be here very soon (the date and time has not been announced, although I suspect it will be similar to last year), so I hope you have set your dollars aside, because the tickets will sell out in just hours. 

It feels good to be back at the computer once again.  Hopefully these posts will be made without so much time/space between them.

See you at the Feed!
