So...

I Was at Scrapbook.com Looking at LO's and...
No, seriously! Men and women are SO different! Women are all about shoes and purses- if I have a wallet and a pair of boots, I am good! Women are OBSESSED with shoes! I know a guy who's wife has over 200 pairs of shoes! Who the hell needs 200 pairs of shoes? I am sure my wife would say, "well, you need 200 different turkey calls or lures!" To which I would say she is right but a lure costs $5 and shoes cost like $50! Woman might be the stronger sex but there is no way they make it without men! There just aren't enough bull dikes to go around killing all the spiders and snakes if men were gone! LOL. Seriously, I love women! I am not AJ and like men but woman are squeamish and gross out easy! I saw the girl this morning tagging her turkey that was Jessi's age so I ask Jessi when she gets home if she would like to go next year and she says, "absolutely not!" Hey- that is her call! Sean will go in like two seconds! I know I still have five years before he can go with me! He is going to drive me crazy until he can go and Jessi couldn't care less! That is fine- I know boys and girls are different! Some girls do like hunting and some boys like sewing!

There Are...

Other ways that boys and girls are different! Women are the stronger sex because they control the SEX. They say when and when not! Fortunately for women, men can go at the drop of a hat so it works out! Why aren't people like turkeys and deer? In both turkey and deer, a dominant male breeds most of the available females! This keeps inferior genes from infecting deer and turkeys! Not so in people- any fool can get a woman and knock her up and dilute the gene pool! I am just kidding about this last point but the world would be one messed up place if we were like turkeys and deer! Well, I killed my bird so I get rewarded by working tomorrow! Doesn't really sound like a reward- I know! I am quite happy with the way turkey season went though and I have a story to tell for the rest of my life! I want me some rice crispy treats and I want them NOW! Later

Done Already?

Well, I Spent Hours...
Getting ready for turkey season and the whole season lasted less than three hours! I am not complaining though! I was pissed I didn't get a bird last year and was determined to take the first good bird that gave me a shot! We saw a ton of birds this morning! We saw four toms and one bearded hen! I shot the bearded hen! My blind was awesome and I think definitely a difference maker! I like sitting in my blind in a comfortable chair waiting for birds without getting wet or eaten alive by bugs! We went over to tag my bird and there were two other groups of hunters tagging birds! One was a young girl about Jessi's age who had just shot her first bird! I still think mine is more interesting! Ron says he has only seen two other hens with beards on them! And to top it off, she has a 5 1/2 inch beard! The thing that clued me into it not being a jake is the fact that the bird doesn't have any spurs! Well, I am happy with my bird and even though I can't say that I have killed every turkey I have shot at, that does make me 5 for 6! Later

Today Is Turkeymas!

Well, It Is...
330AM and I am getting ready to go turkey hunting! Wish me luck! I am making some coffee, making sure I have everything I need and getting ready to go! My wife wants a poker tournament this weekend and she will get one! Hopefully, everyone can make it and we can have a fun time with it! Next weekend is my last weekend before call so I plan on having a few while I play some cards! Talk to you about noon when I come back from hunting! Later

Turkey Eve

Today Is...
Turkey Eve! What the hell is turkey eve you ask? That would be the day before the opening of turkey season! I can't wait for tomorrow! I saw the bird I want to shoot on Saturday and he and I will do battle tomorrow morning promptly at 5AM! He hangs out in an area that I have shot birds before and I have called in other birds there as well! It is pouring rain out right now and I am hoping that it well let up for tomorrow or the hunting will probably be slow! I need to go to the dump in a few minutes and run through all my turkey hunting stuff and make sure I am ready for tomorrow! I have more calls then a real turkey and haven't really planned on how I will approach tomorrow call wise! I want to try my new blind, my new decoys and my new gobbler call and see what happens! I have never hunted the first week and I am looking forward to calling to birds that aren't call shy yet!

I Wasted...

A big part of yesterday listening and watching the NFL draft! I love the draft and in my opinion, it should be a holiday! You can make or break your team on draft day in the NFL! The Vikes selected the best running back in the entire draft, a tall, fast wide receiver and a corner back in the first three rounds! The running back was an incredible pick! They got the second best talent in the draft with the 7th pick! I want a Peterson jersey bad! I think he is going to be #28 and will be the face of my team for years and years! Hopefully, they can build a team around him like San Diego did with LT! Now, I want Direct TV so I can have my football back! My wife says it isn't happening:( Not her fault- we have Dish Network and we are locked in for 18 months so I can't switch! The NFL is really missing the boat on keeping the NFL package with Direct TV! If they would split it up between cable and all the providers, they would get way more subscriptions! I would get it in a heartbeat!

Lesson Learned!

OK, Before I Go Work Out,
I need to blog since I have been a blog slacker! Actually, had quite an interesting morning! I head to work as usual, drive almost all the way to work and I am going down Broadway by the high school when I see a deer standing on the right side of the road looking like it was going to cross the road. I slow right down and almost come to a stop and the deer crosses like ten feet in front of my car! Well, the lady coming the other way didn't see the deer at all and drilled it hard in the front! The deer spun around and dropped dead right in the middle of the road! Well, I can't leave the lady there all alone so I turn around and go back. I walk up to her and ask her if she is OK and she is clearly upset and not thinking straight so I tell her to call the police and I will get the deer out of the road! So, I drag the deer out of the road, go check on her and ask her if she wants the deer. She says no so I decide that I will wait for the police and take the deer! The police come, he gives me a tag for the deer and I load it in my car and drive to work. I take the deer out back in the woods and gut it out and discover that it was a pregnant doe with two fawns still inside her. I then load the deer in a pick-up truck and take it out to my house to put it down in the basement until I get home from work! Well, wasn't really thinking that no one at my house would not be expecting their Dad home at 8 AM so I open the bilco and go into the house to go pee. I scared the crap out of my kids who went running up to my wife and said something was in the basement and someone was in the house. Then, just jokingly I say that I hit a deer and totaled my car! Then, I come home, skin the hind quarters and bring them upstairs to cut up and my wife has a melt down at me and leaves! Moral of the story- just say no when someone asks you if you want the deer! Much easier and safer that way! Honestly, I believe in the whole karma thing and I thought this was payback for the coyotes getting the deer that I shot during deer season and I was actually feeling good about it until I became public enemy number 1 to Colleen! Well, I think next time I will leave well enough alone and not bring home a deer unless I shoot it during deer season! I am sorry if I pissed the whole world off today- I wasn't really trying to- I was trying to do what I thought was right and take care of a deer that the lady killed! Next time, I will simply say no or give the deer away to someone else!

Blog Slacker

No I am Not a Blog Slacker!
I didn't have anything to say on Tuesday and Wednesday we had company and I went and watched tv and went to bed instead of blogging! The Sabres ripped the Rangers which is awesome! Jerry came over for supper last night and that was awesome! Can't wait to do it again on Friday or Saturday! Well, I will blog after work! Later
