The original article questioned if that was the biggest buck alive. I really have no clue.

$400,000.00 bid for the tag.

Fantastic beast in velvet!

Due to the constant flooding, most homes in SE Texas and LA had the water heater in the attic. It would be 130'F+ some days up there, dark and dank. Lovely time. A pair of us would sometimes do 6 per day. Afterwards hit the bait camps for cold beer and speckled trout fishing. You ain't fished till you had gators steal your bait or eyeball you while submerged a few feet away. I've never done an attic water heater, but I have replaced leaking iron water pipe in the ceiling crawl space of a townhouse in August. It, really, really sucked!

Great point since the first of the year our wonderful EPA has changed the regulations on all water heaters they are taller and bigger in diameter. I have replaced some where I had to cut the lines, and sweat new stubouts, and flex lines on.This issue is usually caused by tight spaces and larger water heaters, where the existing soldered on flex lines are not long enough to reach the inlet/outlet on the bigger water heater Same goes for the pressure valve line. And hope there is enough slack in the electrical line, if it is an electrical model.

I have replaced many. Make sure the new water heater is similar in height & diameter, or you can have problems lining up the existing water lines, and pressure release valve line.

Any guess on the width? 40-42"?

Did you send Rocky and Guido over to break some bones?

Tough way get your rocks off.On the farthest Eastern edge of 27 above the San Fransisco, dad rode a boulder over the side. He was shouldering a new Weatherby 7mag and Leopold scope. Many cracked ribs and a very used looking rifle later... Ouch! Cracked ribs are painful. Especially in unit 27 where we are always sucking wind trying to climb that stuffFunny now, but as dad slid down one of AZs deepest canyons, he managed to unshoulder the 7mm and hold it up like it was his only baby and heir. Gotta protect the rifle! I did the same thing, but I dented the scope and broke the rear scope mount. I didn't know the mount was cracked until I shot at a deer a bunch of times and couldn't hit it. The fall sheared the screws off the base mount.

That foot never healed up?

Took a ride on a huge boulder in unit 27. Fortunately I only got scraped and bruised when I jumped off. My rifle scope was not as fortunate.

This happened to me in 27 when I was about 12. The buck was nearly dead on the ground and maybe 100 yards ahead of me when some dental challenged hick shot him again. Suddenly half his clan was there screaming ownership and they looked desperate with nothing to lose. Was like a scene from Deliverance only I was much prettier than Ned Beatty. I went on to get a much nicer buck the following day. That stinks. Back in the early 1980's I was up there with my Dad, and a friend of his. Me and my Dad's friend were stalking up on a couple buck's on a mountainside. Some dude on a horse opened fire on these bucks, and he came charging down the mountain side on his horse, to cut us off from the buck's. Needless to say, the dipwad didn't get the buck, but neither did we.

And here I thought some snarling beast might have been hiding in the cave

Since I'm a sentimental old fool, I would have to say it was a hunt with my Dad, back in the 1980's. We were hunting mule deer in unit 27.We were at the bottom of a deep canyon where a creek from a smaller canyon joined the main drainage. It was a nice place to sit down for lunch. As we started eating our sandwhiches, and talking, 2 nice bucks jumped up about 50 yards across the creek. As these bucks were tearing hellbent through the thick brush, we jumped up and opened fire. We searched for quite awhile, but we realized we didn't hit a dang thing. Some of the best hunt's, are not always successful ones.

They look like Alien faces

Upper right hand corner, a sheep in the cleft?

Or a cave behind the bushes?

Is it a Mt. Lion laying on the jumble of rocks, just left of center?

I see it on my app, headed west. Our power is back on. How did I grow up here without AC? Makes me wonder how brutal it was for the early settlers without A/C.? Must have been made of tougher fiber.? I melt without it.

Big storm ripping through Tucson. Just got pounded again. I think it's headed north.?
-
O ok, thought maybe you left the F off the end.

Been raining non stop for over an hour at my place, central Tucson. Big winds before that.

I always enjoy getting slapped in the face by a pair......
