Two Kansas Cocks

[Bruce Day]

I have no idea what you are implying John. I can't imagine an easier person to work with than Charlie, and as for me, there is nobody who is easier to work with.

Out there again this coming week and when the weather warms up, out there for several days to fix the cabin plumbing ( the pipes froze and burst ) and do some re-roofing. If only Triple was any good with a hammer. Its been an ugly winter.

I won't do the Bike Across Kansas this year because I am going after the smallmouth bass spawn in the Minnesota Boundary Waters Canoe Wilderness during that week. This year the BAK has an overnighter in Ness City KS and is a generally flat route except some rolling through the Flint Hills......anyone can do such an easy, short route this year, something around 400 miles. It would be a good time for people who are interested in hunting Kansas to come on out and see the country. last year I saw pheasant and quail all the way across, and one time John D called, I stopped pedaling and pulled over to talk, and a disturbed rooster started cackling just a few yards away in a wheat field.

Some pheasant are quite tame when its not hunting season and are possessive about their territory. A couple weeks ago, Ross Berke was telling me that he was looking at buying an old farm truck out in a pasture in SoDak and fiddling around trying to get it started and a rooster started following him around and pecking at his leg.
