Here is my latest sidekick, Ice the pointing machine. She is in her prime and will be 6 this coming July and rarely bumps any bird I'm after. Ha, I paid a lot more for her than I did for my first AAHE, which ended up being Pug's first high grade Parker many many many years ago. She has been one of my very best investments. I just booted her butt out of bed to take my ticker meds and check my e-mail. Grouse from today and a rooster from last Friday. I also included an older photo of my old timer buddy, Ruddy. He is now in his 14th year and very happy on new pain meds. (translated: expensive) In fact, Richie and I may plant a rooster or two for him in the near future. He has taken to just grabbing them, oh well, at least I don't have to clean the gun and I can't give him hell either as he is deaf as a post, too much time at the wrong end of the smokepole. He screamed like a kid having a tantrum when Ice and I left this morning. All good stuff, then we croak. Oh, check out the sign I ran across up in Vt while chasing Mr. Pat.

Oh Josh; Thank You for the PM, too stupid to figure out how to get reply past my security stuff, so Happy New Year to you and your family. I did give your message to mom about the silver cup, and she said she will give you a call when the time comes.

Sorry if I highjacked this thread.
