Listened to mtn tough podcast with Randy about eating healthy and got to wondering what everyone else does during the work day.
My breakfast yesterday and today.
We do have a cafeteria about 50 yards from my machining cell which is to dang convenient some days to just go grab good hot crap...
Might as well kick off the new season. Cold and windy weekend I decided to leave the ice fishing gear at home. We are at the cabin for the weekend so I figured on some hiking. Yellow river state forest has about 60 miles of hiking trails so I figured that's a good start in preparation for my...
My son is back for the holidays and is taking some of my old ice fishing gear back with him. He lives in Lakewood outside of Denver and hasn't fished out there yet. Are there any decent lakes close for him to try?
I think this is a good time to start my new season.
Finally got on the ice last weekend. I guess everyone else had the same idea. Went to Lansing with my dad and a buddy from Wisconsin and found a whole bunch of other people.
I fished for about 3 hours only catching about 20 small gills...
I got various small gifts, a couple books, wife giving me money to buy garmin GPS, and the big gift is my boys are taking me to Talladega super speedway in April.
This is one book I received. This murder happened just a few miles from where I live back in 1975. Very interesting story and...
My grandfather was a ww2 vet and my uncle was a Vietnam vet. my uncle made a career of it and served for I believe 22 years. My grandfather passed away in 1981 and my uncle just last spring. My aunt and uncle lived in my grandparents house so as my aunt is cleaning stuff out she is finding all...
I have had enough of winter. Snowing, damp, and crappy again today. I have absolutely 0 ambition to do anything outside. Put in a quick 5 hours at work this morning and now watching a bunch of old fresh tracks and eating homemade pizza. Dang I'm ready for t shirt weather and green grass.
Ok...
Today was a beautiful day to start my new season. I figured I would get the long rod out and try to find some open water below one of the dams around here.
My first stop was the clarksville dam on the shellrock River that was completely iced up.
They also have a snowmobile and biking trail...
Woke up around 2 this morning to a noise and the dogs barking. I get out of bed and look out the window and see foot prints in the fresh snow going around to the front of my house. There's a blizzard going on so I figure maybe somebody is stuck in the snow or needs help. So I put my coat and...
Every Sunday I precook my breakfast and lunch for work . What do you prepare?
This week I did grilled hot dogs and some saurkraut for lunch and a breakfast casserole with egg, hashbrowns, deer bacon, and cheddar cheese.
Also for a snack I have a bag of venison snack sticks.
My dad had bought 2 10 gauge single shot guns from an old family friend about 6 or 7 years ago. He gave them both to my 2 boys and they have sat in their gun cabinets ever since. I dug this one out today to clean it up and shoot it as soon as we get some decent weather. We are not in contact...
Looking to upgrade my boots a little bit. As for the hunting I do here in Iowa I don't need anything fancy, just want something comfortable. My western hunts so far are antelope hunts but hopefully may do an elk hunt this year. Without breaking the bank I've been researching a couple and...
