The Best Time of Year

For the last two weeks I've been up a tree hunting deer.  I wear my ASAT leafy camo suit, as I'm pictured in above, and I look down on a scene like this:

I hunt at the nature preserve at my workplace, and I've done one MBRB hunt in this early season so far.  It has been warm and buggy and I've yet to harvest a deer.  Opening morning I had 6 different bucks under my stand and choose not to take any of them.  I'm waiting for a big buck and I'm planning to shoot as many does as I possibly can.

I spend a lot of time in the tree on weekends which can be difficult with the long periods of light in early fall.  Not to fear, as this year I have a Blackberry and I can surf the web and read/write emails as I hunt.  So if you know my address, send a note and let's catch up.

Wish me luck.  I'm going back out there again this afternoon.


Much Unaccounted For

I've taken some crap recently for leaving this site unattended.  Rightly so, I suppose.  It is especially odd as I've done a great many things since last posting.  These include going to Europe 3 times, Africa, Hong Kong, becoming really good at Rock Band, and a bunch of other things that I can't remember at the moment.

I didn't really like Africa (Morocco) and the trip to Hong Kong on a weekend was exciting.  I'm at 77,000 EQM's and don't need any more for another year of Platinum Elite.  I can now play every song on Rock Band except Green Grass and High Tides on expert.  I have 4 months of trail cam pictures (does, fawns, bears), and I still go to the same dysfunctional workplace and I still am trying to make it better.  That's about it.

Archery season starts in a few weeks and if I feel frisky I'll put some updates on here.  Perhaps I'll even take the tasty young doe above and serve it to you in the fish house this winter.  We'll have to see.

 

Flying About

It's mileage running season and I started it off with a run to Frankfurt, Germany.  I'm glad I wasn't on this plane which attempted to land the same day I did in a very windy Hamburg:

 

NW 52 on the flight over was the best flight I've ever had.  We were entertained by a senior purser who provided us with comedy gems for much of the flights.  This included a thorough ridiculing of NWA's "Train of Change" culture change initiative, interpretations of the pronunciation problems encountered when training Asian flight crew, and a send up of how flight attendants would talk when relocated to ATL.  It was unbelievably funny.

It's the cheap time to fly to Europe and I'm doing it a lot in the next few weeks.  In case of windy weather on any of my arrivals I'm going to be sure my tray table is stowed and my seatback is upright.
