You're a good sport Francis

Appreciate that Dean- I have many accquaintices I guess, but at my age now, not so many close friends, so I do get a tad "over-boardy" about them. So many guys I used to hunt, fish, shoot (pool and clays) play poker, etc- all gone- no one ever said life was 100% fair in that regard-

I still owe you a bottle of good Irish Whiskey (or as Tullamore Dew has a tad of the Highlander influence I surmise, as they prefer to spell it Whisky) just promise me you'll drink it on the rocks, maybe a splash of branch water- but no ginger ale in my Jamieson pls.--

Gentlemen,

It appears cabin fever has set in, this has been a long winter. I think tonight I will break out the Famous Grouse and have a drink with my friends.

Bolyard

Great idea- and I'll gladly swap you two fifths of Famous Grouse for a fifth of Bushmills and a pint of Wild Turkey Honey-

Are any of those handsome feather finder's brother/sister relatives? Reminds me of my now long gone Lleuwellin- Molly- FDSB Molly behan malone out of a Mississippi Zev nick-I don't hunt grouse or woodcock nowadays, but still remember- and my old now gone hunting partner- nicknamed the GR Dog Broker- as he was a bit like Milt Throcker in TNB's great tale "The Great Reprisal"- tried to tell me that working her on pheasants would mess her up for the much trickier Sir Ruffs- not so- but we both missed our share over her rock solid points- and she was a natural retriver too-

Francis,

Parker, Cooper and Suzy! You were close. They are full brother and sisters.
