So short story here...
Took a week off to go Elk hunting with a friend on the West side of the Olympic Penninsula. Friday morning I wake up sick. I try to plug through and could barely walk by the end of the day. So I told my friend to go up without me, and I'd join him today. I did not want him to miss a day of hunting because of my weakness. He offered to not head up until this morning, but I told him not to do that. I was afraid that if he did that, I might still be sick, and so he would have wasted a lot of hunting time for nothing.
I feel decent this morning, so I pack my stuff up, spent the morning with the kids, and then when they went down for a nap, I packed the jeep to punch out. Battery was dead... Jump it off and notice that my registration expired while I was deployed... I'm not so willing to drive for the next 4 hours with expired registration.
Unless one of y'all wants to join me and my friend for the next few days (and give me a ride way out west) i'm afraid I won't be elk hunting this year.
Looks like i'm gonna go play a raquetball pickup game to work out some of the frustration...
then again, I should probably go shoot some skeet to practice for those birds that have made a fool of me...
Venting complete.
Thanks
