how do you cope?
« on: August 08, 2013, 11:32:42 AM »
All spring long, I eagerly await the fantastic weather of july and august.  but when august arrives I can't effing handle it.  26 days til elk season and I'm about to go insane.  I try to keep as busy as possible.  how does everybody else handle it?  does anything work?  I need help badly.
How long til elk season?!??
