Our dog Cooper, Humane Society Rescue, but an amazing dog, caught a robin on take off yesterday, actually gave it up when i said drop, impressed me. They estimated him about 2 years old in July, well trained, someone lost an awesome black lab.

Those are some beautiful dogs. Ours is a family pet, and has never been worked as a hunter/retriever, but she has a strong instinct for it. Great dog, and great w/ frisbee, or retrieving anything else that you want to work her with. She more-or-less trained me, rather than the other way around. Crazy dog will find a rock thrown deep into the woods, if she has put her mouth on it even once, and will come bolting from the other side of the house if she hears *anything* thrown. Fun, fun, fun...

 

I think she's almost 1 yr old in this picture... which was ~2 yrs ago. I haven't taken any good ones since :(

Here's my two crazy Brttanys. Neither dog has been well trained, all my fault as they come from pretty decent bloodlines. The female (longer haired) has had ACL surgery so she's slowed down a lot. She gets real excited about going hunting and has no issues with gunshots, but doesn't use her nose worth a crap. The male (shorter haired) has a huge bird drive, uses his nose well, points on instinct, and comes running between my legs when I shoot. I had them both with me last winter when I finally found a good covey of quail and shot one. The quail have been sparse in our area but due to some cutovers in our hunting area starting to grow up, the numbers are getting much better.

A Boykin is supposed to be a loyal companion and versatile dog. Originally bred down in Geogia?

I've got one that's kind of an unusual breed, he's a "Boykin Spaniel".417234_327539417287304_1942736640_n.jpg
not unusual at all! It's the state dog of South Carolina!!

Good lookin dogs! Hey Grape, Hows the duck hunting? Horrible here in Indiana. Way too warm. Been out 4 or 5 times and only have 1 Canadian goose.

Hey Ryan, You gonna bail me outta jail when they arrest me for hunting in city limits? LOL I'm hoping this weather pushes some birds down. I'm thinking hard about taking an hour + drive to Vincinnes and getting on the wabash river. From what I hear there are more birds to our west.

    • This is NOT impact damage nor neglect. There were previous class action lawsuits because of such paint preparation st GM manufacturing plant. Not just the Cherry Red Color. This paint is applied in three processes to obtain the desired color.  The manufacturer will cover for 36 months or 36k miles only. That rust is actually corrosion because of the paint process failure. Corrosion is covered for 100,100 miles or a certain months. However their corrosion doesn't include this type. Go figure. Clearly manufacturer knew from previous paint issues. This started 3 weeks ago out of the blue.  
    • Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL? 
    • consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.
    • can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?
    • Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
