Day 73

Eventful day for sure.....Katie and Matt (Ryan's bro) where running a 5K here in T-town, so we met up with them afterwards, for a little breakfast and java. The invite was extended, so we packed the bird and Parker up in Lindz jeep, and we headed down to Bartlesville for some good times, and some hawkin. The girls chilled at the house for the afternoon, and all the boys (minus Parker) went out flying. Ryan had the honors, so we took his hybrid out for a little duck hawkin. Found a nice slip, and and his bird ended up scoring a nice sized drake Gadwall. He made a really nice stoop, and though he didn't get it on the initial one, he put three of them to the ground, and he quickly grabbed up one on the reflush. Now, I know you all are checkin out these pictures, and are probably getting all hot and bothered by that glorious stache he is rockin (LOL!)....but calm yourselves....he is a happily married man, so you all are just gonna need to chill out....take a cold shower or something!!!!!! Clicked off a few victory photos with Matt holding the bird, and then we headed on back to the house. Decided it was just too warm to fly the Gyr, so he stuck the falcons up, and it was time to fly Dee. Jumped in the Jeep, fired her up, and we are on our way?????? NOPE! Started her up, and she died. Tried again...same result. I feather the gas, and she keeps running, but then when I let off.....she dies. Weird! No warning lights on, temp is fine, etc, etc, etc. Start checking out all the usual suspects, and Ryan discovers there ISN'T ANY OIL IN THE CAR!!!!! OK....so I know what your thinking....your the husband....your supposed to keep track of the fluids in your wifes car.....................................you're right! Gosh, stop rubbing it in! I know, I know...I dropped the ball on that one! Ryan was kind enough to help me out with the Jeep (cause I HATE working on cars, and tend to be pretty bad at it), and 5 quarts of oil and a new filter later, she was running like a champ. By the time we where finished, it was already dark, so no flying for us.
