| I'm still here, too, tho am really just an avid reader and a rare contributor. Since moving to South Carolina nearly 5 years ago, I have done almost no field work / hunting with my English cockers. In fact, the ones I used to take out are now gone and the youngest of their remaining offspring are already 6 years old!
We have been doing some obedience and have begun again in agility now with these dogs. But those wonderful (if cold) mornings during hunting season in New Jersey & New York are more than five years in the past. Went out this morning wading in a creek and enjoying the "country" with the 3 dogs, together with friends and their other breeds of hunting dogs. (It's HOT today -- at least 95 F.) I was delighted that my wussie male was finally brave enough to swim! That was a major milestone for him, likely due to the confidence he's building as we play in obedience & agility training. All the more reason I should be training him to play the hunt test game since I know he loves birds (actually he's a "wild man"). Thanks to my Lab friends, he's at least had fun with quail & guns. (They don't have pheasant naturally here. I've been told that the soil doesn't support pheasant, also that where you see wild turkey you won't see pheasant.)
For hunting / field work, I had been living vicariously through you guys! And I REALLY miss the many pearls of wisdom, most of which were relevant to so many aspects of dog training, instincts, psychology, etc. I can't believe that I never had a chance to meet CJ in person. I know that if I'd ever gone to visit him, I'd likely never have left. So, so much knowledge .... I still think often of his posts and his perspective.

Good to hear your news. I do hope we can resurrect this forum as I am sure
Cj would like us to continue. Though without him, that will be hard.

Good to see that not all of us are dead yet. I woke up this
morning and had pain here and there, a good thing to feel after you are 60 +
years. It is kind of a confirmation that you are still alive. Some periods it
seems like we are all a bunch of geriatrix sitting in our rocking chair and need
someone to kick our a... to get going again, for a while.
It is rather hot here too, for us that is, I would be ashamed
to disclose the rather modest temperatures we have compared to those of you
living in Texas, Arizona, Australia etc. are used to. However Briz and me
dislike the summer climate and that is what counts for us. Maud went to a
shooting estate this morning to shoot clay and join a BBQ but since that place
is inland (we live at the coast) it is even warmer there so we stayed at home by
the sea. Maud is back home again, she finished 2.nd in the clay
competition among all the Lords and Earls and other loose people. One had
flown up all the way from Italy just to shoot a wild boar and then some clay,
what do you know when someone has too much money? Well, we train a lot at home
so she is good with the gun.
My pain comes from having finished the 30 timber logs that I
fell last winter. Yesterday I was finished to saw them into planks for a partial
renewal of the roof on our house. That will take place next summer, most likely.
I did all the sawing by myself, 10 days of heavy work and a few more muscles
than I thought I had are sore now but I am very satisfied in my
mind.
We have been looking for an ES puppy for nearly a year now.
Mauds first choice was a puppy from a kennel that breeds well-mannered and easy
to train gundogs. However the puppy was not to be since the sperm and the eggs
obviously never met, the bitch did not get pregnant.
Recently we got the smell of a much better planned litter,
with our late Foxys lines on the fathers and mothers side. There is the
imported from USA Equimark, (son of the AMFTRFLDC Tokoma) in the line of
both the Sir and the Dame. Equimark has had important influence and
hopefully he has given the touch of the wonderful insanity Foxy was able to
show at times when she decided to play clown. If we are lucky enough to get a
puppy this time we might get a double dose of the insanity. Double in several
ways since we ordered two bitch puppies  ))
Briz had an udder removed the other day, a tumour, and another
udder will be taken late in the autumn when the bird season is over. Then she
hopefully will be fit for a few more years of hunting. She is a splendid gundog
now at mature age, and a wonderful companion otherwise.
My old Nissan pick-up had to go a few months ago. I had had it
a few days short of twenty years. I replaced it with a 2004 model Nissan
pick-up. Very low mileage car and well kept and serviced. However it was fully
loaded with all kinds of styling kits and it took me a day to remove everything
and get the car as naked as I like them to be. Cars are females and their best
body parts should always be shown, not hidden under a lot of clothes and jewels.
Now I try to sell all the rubbish and that is the reason why there is a Nissan
pick-up among all the dogs on our website. I am otherwise pleased with the new
car, good comfort and a few more buttons to push but I am nervous about the
diesel engine. More than one has suddenly thrown out the connecting rods
through the engine block....... However being an engineer who has worked with
heavy duty marine diesels for 40 years I try to solve the problem before such
disaster happens. I do not fancy the modern small diesels for cars very much.
They are too much of an precision instrument to be used for serious work and far
too expensive to repair if something happens to them. We will see... Briz likes
the new car very much since the AC is so efficient )
Now we have to go to the water again to cool of..

| It came within a fraction od a degree of FREEZING here the other night, and there
was fresh snow on the mountains around Anchorage.
Talk about too expensive to repair...I have a 1997 Ford F250 diesel that needs a
"tuneup." (It won't run at all due to failing small parts of the fuel system.) It
has a computer controlled fuel injection system using high pressure engine lub. oil
as a hydraulic oil source for the injection pressure. Eight cylinders: injectors
are ~+-$300 each ($2400), glow plugs ~$10?($100), High pressure oil pump w/solenoid
valve pressure regulator ~$700, low pressure fuel pump ~$200, miscellaneous
"little" parts several hundred more. Then there is the two to three thousand $$
for labor. Except for a small developing rear main oil seal leak the engine is
hardly broken in with only 185,000 miles on it, uses no appreciable oil and gets
nearly 20 mpg loaded to 10,000 pounds on the highway. A rebuilt engine with one
year parts and labor warrantee, installed ~$9000; but all those tuneup parts are
not necessarily new!
Tokoma seems to have a good reputation amongst the shagrunners here in the USA.

| Mine is a "parts truck" now. I found one a year older with 78,000 miles which had
spent most of its life in New mexico (dry desert country - no salt on roads in
winter) and bought it for less than the cost of a rebuilt engine. I hate doing
this, but that's the world we live in. We'd have a small PU but for the extensive
camper traveling we do!
I'm in Seldovia, Alaska, USA - just below 60 degrees north on the end of the kenai
Peninsula.
