Well, I went deer hunting... I had a great time visiting the Schoepke Clan!! I finally got to see Bill and Stacy's home and hang out with Ol' Shep and Joyce. Even tho I did not get a deer and pretty much froze my ass, except for Smitty and the Brickhouse and the "buddy" I would have probably perished. (I should have went crafting!) Can't believe I left the Good Luck Monkey in my truck. It's amazing that I made it back to Minnesota , when you think about it. Smitty bought a new truck, Toyota 4runner, pretty loaded. Ass Warmers!! Pretty gay, I thought untill I spent 11 hours in a tripod stand waiting for a herd of deer to appear. Those Ass Warmer Seats gained respect from Spike in a hurry!! Next truck will definately have those if I am still in Bemidji. I was thinking of Mooresville NC as I could possible locate if I was interested in doing so, and I have been in one place for more than 2.5 years so the time may be right for me to breeze. But Stacy and Nipper are doing a stellar job of convincing me to stay. Since all I do now is work and sleep, I could probably make it through the winter. I really only need to go outside for about 4 minutes a day unless I count cold truck minutes as outside minutes. Then I time out at about 30 minutes a day. Right now in suburban Bemidji it's a balmy 30 degrees with freezing drizzle and unbelievably slick driving conditions. Only the body shop guys are happy tonight, and Viking Fans.
Right now I'm watching the Gray Cup, featureing the Edmonton Eskimo's vs. the Montreal Alouettes(Damn Frenchies) I hope the Moe's kick their Ass. The Moes are up 3 t 1. What's pretty cool is, if the punting team, punts into the endzone, and the receiving team does not run it out, the punting team gets 1 point! Also Pamela Anderson was the Grey Cup Grand Marshall of the Pre Game Parade. (no make up and a conservative sweater) But with the folks ya know, she's just a small town girl after all!! I do have to say that the game is more fun to watch than the Eagles/Packers Game (awful)
I hope y'all had a great Thanksgiving. I'm fixin to get me some shut eye. So's I'll leave y'all for the time bein' (practicing)
