Post subject:  Weekend of Manliness
This will be a weekend to remember. Friday morning I'll roll out of bed before dawn, and clad myself in camo, arm myself with a good knife or two, grab my most trusted rifle and head into the woods for a cold morning of sitting in a tree. With any luck, I'll fill my freezer with venison for the winter. If not, I'll go home content anyway because I've participated in a time honored ritual that is as old as man himself.

Saturday morning, again I'll awake and probably put on the same man-stink-filled garb, but this time instead of my rifle, I'll grab my fishing rod and associated tools needed to sit in a boat in the middle of a pond, enticing fish with a piece of plastic on the end of a string.

GOD what a weekend. This is what motivates me to finish the work week this week. Well... that and a paycheck. :P

I'll let you know how I fare with both the hunting and the fishing.

It's amazing how relaxing it can be sitting still for hours on end in the dead cold of winter and not make a sound. Then hearing that crack of a twig or movement of brush, the rush of excitement, the spotting of that buck and the uncontrollable shakes raising that barrel up heh. Even if you don't bag anything, it's a good day spent. Man, I haven't been out for a few seasons now and I miss it. I can remember my first deer. I hadn't felt that much adrenaline since I bungie jumped the first time lol

Have fun you lucky SOB :P

I just finished teaching my class on Monday.

I just finished my Masters degree on Tuesday.

My last day at work before I leave for a two week vacation and then quit my job is tomorrow. (25hours and counting).

That's going to be a ton of XP that'll hit me this week. I'll probably level a few times with this rush.

On Thursday, I'm going to go home and sleep with my wife. Many times. That's a tradition just as time-honored and alot more fun (for me) then killing woodland creatures. :)

I just spent a Thanksgiving week in Tacoma with my brother. At way-to-early-hour we all got into my brothers buddies way-to-big-pickup truck and drove into the woods,up a mountain, over snow, way-to-close to way-to-steep cliffs and finally found a spot they called 'perfect'.

A small dirt 'road' 10 feet wide with straight up cliffs to the right and straight down cliffs to the left.

We then proceeded to toss Skeet off the cliff while we played round robin 'chippers'. (Im a city boy, yankee, born and democratic raised) so when they opened a hidden door between the bed of the truck and above the wheelwell to see 2 cases of beer inside the truck - 'You know your a Redneck when...'.

Well we have a crazy good time. I seriously never thought shooting skeet - drunk- for 6 hours would be anything but...well it was seriously fun.

Have fun on your weekend. I hope you bag a deer!

I plan on waking up Friday morning, scratch my belly, take a #2, then have a cup of coffee. That too is a time-honored tradition of man.

My brother and I used to go to a gravel pit and shoot bottles and cans with rifles, pistols and shotguns. I once made a lifesize cutout of myself and a friend and I shot it to pieces then charged it with bayonets and stabbed it till if fell into two pieces.

...ah, good fun.

:| ... don't make me take this to The Forum. I hunt for sport, and it just so happens that it tastes pretty decent too.

Skunked. Completely and thoroughly skunked. Not even a glimpse of a deer, and not so much as a nibble from the fish.

HOWEVER, as we were walking along the dirt road into the woods toward the stands we spotted some day-old tracks. My stand was on the other side of a clump of trees from that spot though, so I didn't have a view of it, and sure enough as we were walking back to the truck, there were fresh tracks right in the same place. The deer were probably walking right behind us making rude mocking gestures as we walked.

The fish weren't biting because it was so dang cold. Water temp was 48 degrees and I'm fairly sure you would have had to hit the fish in the head with the lure to wake them out of their coma.

Ah it was fun though. Always enjoy a day in the woods or in the boat.
