Well, I'm sure we will get back to a picture is better than a thousand words BUT, this tripped an old memory which sounds weird, I know.
So I tried to train my first dog to hunt birds. It was a papered Springer Spaniel. Tried to keep him close and whistled for right and left. I felt like he was ready for his close up so I showcased him on a pheasant hunt with a couple of friends. We were at the beginning of a tall grass field along the Sacramento River. Guns loaded, I let Jackie off the leash....it looks good for about 2 minutes then he gets on a rabbit and rips through the field...the pheasants were launching every which way out of gun range. In fact we just stood there, I'm not sure we even moved. We get to the end of the pheasant free field and Jackie comes to heel again stub tail going crazy, tongue out, happy as hell. Listlessly we continue. Then the sound of a bird in a thorny patch. I whisper to Jack...hunt 'em up Jack. Jack looks up at me and is 'saying,' which one of us goes into the stickers first? Say it again, 'hunt 'em up Jack!' He gets more animated, wiggling around....saying, 'you go first.' Finally I get so pissed off that I pick him up the throw him into the sticker patch...He takes it well and gets on the bird with a yip. So yeah, I threw a dog higher.
He didn't do a lot of hunting after that...later watched him 500 or so yards away chasing a deer when we were mountain quail hunting together. Jackie lived a long and spoiled life with my ex and my kids.

love it!

That could almost be one of the last photo's I have of my old man. He died when he was just 46. You two could almost have been brothers in another time.

Some said it was garish. Some said it was nice.
Comments ranged from "You can't possibly think all those colours go together" to "That's a nice coloured shirt".
So I had rather a polarising effect.

Thought I might post it as an update...

Lucky YOU! I sat at home and watched the Texans LOSE! We do have a beautiful ballpark, do we not?

Yes we sure do! The person sitting right behind me was watching the Texans on his phone the whole game, wish he would have stayed home to watch it... An 0-2 start is not going to get us far this season, the Astros still have a shot at the playoffs

Sorry to hear that your old man died so young. Now you have this 62 year old looking over his shoulder.

Why I don't like cell phone camera's, or white wine.

For the record, during the pre-dinner softball game yesterday we were the tigers..
Cheers.
