Thank you all for the welcome, the avatar is one of the sites stock avatars but not to far from me, My beard is whiter and trimmed a little shorter, (usually), but I do like to wear comfortable practical hats when I wear one and walking in the desert, the woods or floating down the river it just seems like a good idea.
Anybody have any ideas on how to get them pesky fish in the Wisconsin River to stop waking me up all the time, its messing up my beauty sleep something awful.
