Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
I've had several good mornings chasing grouse and woodcock with Grace this season. Actually, the bird season is far from over but with rifle season for deer opening this Saturday, I'm afraid I'll be done with them for this year anyway.
Grace has turned into a very good woodcock dog, pointing them with intensity, sometimes with the bird a mere two feet or less off her nose. But she still hasn't learned she can't get that close to grouse.
Saturday morning Grace received a visit with two of her beautiful daughters who will be 1 year old on November 17. All three of these girls were ecstatic and played and licked and played and ran all over the place. They were so much fun to watch!
It has been a great season and I thought with the fall of woodcock we got two weeks ago (17 flushes in 1.3 hours) that they would have passed through, especially with the high winds, snow and cold of the last week or so... But NO! we had six points and flushes and we scared the livin' daylights outta them!! (...we decided to leave them as seed birds for next year. )
