Males are cool but if you want some tough stuff get a female. I had one jump a black bear! No fuckin shittin! She never just "took off running" and one day just "launched out of the back door" I took off after her....and when I crossed the line of yard and woods......I saw her on the back of a bear! I thought she was gonna get it. But the bear took off. It was awesome and you could tell she was happy she did her job and was very proud! Awesome dog! The girls are great with kids too......its the "mom instinct".
I have a very small data base, 3 dogs in the last 32yrs all "rescue"; one female, 2 males. My female was goldenxGS (we think) sweet girl lived 16 yrs. One male was a red heeler, great boy but got bone cancer and died at 9 yrs. My current is a rescue GS, likely inbred as he has a slew of auto immune problems and dysplasia limps badly, he's 7.5 yrs right now and I doubt he'll last another year. I'd say the GS is likely a pure bred but from a puppy mill as the vet says his problems are likely due to in breeding so thats a minus for pure breds. I'd go female as they tend to live longer if they are "fixed" early enough
Awesome road trip !! Thanks for sharing. Those ghost cars are wicked ! What are they sprayed with. That sucks about the plastic forks and ketchup and small proportion of coke slaw. But it looked like fun anyway and good way to get out and have some fun. You inspired me to do the same soon . Just a road trip somewhere like that would be good for the soul in these fucked up times. Thanks Lokie!View attachment 4608573

Not many customers. Mask required with the only exception being while seated at your table.
Good seafood and good service.
Ample portions of shrimp, flounder, white fish, crab cakes, deviled crab and clam strips.
$30 fed us and the dogs too. We left a 25% tip.
I may never return.
Good food and good service aside, they are stingy with condiments and sides.
Hardly a thimble of coleslaw.
cut/paste.
Every one knows Ketchup is a requirement for a fried seafood feast.
I had to stifle the frustration and disappointment and hold back a volcanic eruption of blind fury when they brought this to the table.
No self respecting sit down table service restaurant would contemplate pulling such a lame stunt.
I saw red I tell ya.

Never is a long time and the food was good.
I guess if I ever pass through Asheboro again I'll know to bring my own.

And then the daily 50# bag of dog food (for those of us who aren’t bringing partial moose home weekly)
Ever since we've had 2 dogs we've had one of each.
I love that tile and stone. Beautiful.
I had a curio and Relic firearms license, I was ordering mosins for like 35 bucks, was getting ammo for like 2 bucks a box.
The come back is "Try it, I bet the dog bites you".
I'm guessing it's to minimize flare-ups. We used to place actual foil down, pierce like he did and grill our chicken. That was a long time ago.
