I was going to call the deer hunting done earlier this fall but a buddy [retired fireman] lost his hunting property and I asked if he wanted to hunt where I have. I'm old enough where problems can pop up and I am not doing this hunt stuff alone but he should be plenty in the know about emergency situations. That said, I feel safe enough to give it one last run.
Other than that, I take it one day at a time. The lungs are giving up on me so I won't be shooting plastic inside any more. On warmer days I'll work in the garage. I actually like the cool in the garage and spend a lot of time out there even when its well below zero. Always something out there to do and the plastic has really found a niche there where I don't have distractions so much.
Hopefully I'll have jerky in the smoker this time next week. Or better yet, chewing on some. Between the lead casting and shooting plastics I stay pretty busy. I won't fish ice anymore unless I find a day that's warm enough to just wander from hole to hole and jig. I've done my damage thru the ice and will leave that for others who think they have the ice fishing figured out. Ma's hinting at Hawaii again this winter so I may be getting some new tan lines. Denny borrowed a speedo from me after the last trip out there and won't give it back so the tan lines will be starting just above the knees and part below that.
