    Sooooo, where was I? Oh yeah, dad dead before I was 7. So, memories of dad. I woke up and was in the hallway. I saw a little red light bobbing up and down and headed my way. I was mesmerized until I got hit by a freight train.

    It was about this time, dad realized he had knocked me on my ass, and ( besides coming to the same conclusion) I realized that dancing red dot was a cigarette in his lips.
    But...I was really touched by how concerned for my well being he was at the time.

    So, not a whole lot of other memories of dad, but these are kinda important. I remember waking up and him carrying me to the car, almost apologetic for waking me up. See, corporal punishment was common in those days, and it was, " Wait till your dad gets home." I thought he hated me, and was gonna kill me, so moments of tenderness just seemed a little out of place and I was just starting to realize this man loved me.

    Soooo, I go back to sleep, and wake up crossing the Corpus causeway bridge. Scary shit, but fishing with daddy, fun.

    Had some Lone Ranger pistols. Dad took me dove hunting on a pond on the ranch. I tried to shoot those doves with my pistol, while dad smoked them with a full choke 20 gauge JC Higgins shotgun . I would run and fetch them for him. I was really impressed at how few doves got passed him.

    One did, and I saw it was hit and took off after it. It flew from one tree to another and I went back begging dad to come get it. It took awhile to convince him, but he finally followed me within shotgun distance of that tree. I was trying to point out that dove, but I'm not sure if he really believed me. He took two steps towards it, the dove two wingbeats away , and I went and picked it up for him. Daddy could shoot.

    He bought my older brother a Benjamin .22 pellet gun and shot at strike anywhere kitchen matches with it and lit them to impress a neighbor.

    He left a rack on a board of a 6 point whitetail he shot with the 30.06 I still have with " Dimmit Co. 365 yrds." on it IIRC. You know, horn mount.

    I could go on a lot more, but the fishing and hunting made an impression on me. After he was gone, I had dreams of catching huge fish and shooting big bucks.

    I was hooked on the outdoor life by age 6.

    Why am I here? Crap...tell me why not.
    More to come....

True story .
