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.
