Title: Glad to be back
Post by: sixty4nhalf on September 02, 2012, 04:01:36 PM: I am glad to be back state side, been gone pretty much since Dec 5th, never had a chance this year to throw any arrows down range, going to dust off the cobwebs and sling a few down range before I get back out there. Keep a straight arrow and Good luck to everyone! Hopefully with a little bit of luck I can let the air out of one.

I was already to go out on Monday morning (so I thought) was gathering all my gear together, and couldn't for the life of me find half my stuff Backpack, Jacket, Bino's, Range finder..... I was hot and livid. I know I put them away, but where??? I tore the house apart, garage, truck, camper..... where the f are they!!! well I spent the WHOLE DAY, yes the WHOLE DAY taking everything out of the shop, sorting it and putting it all away, finally about 8pm I got everything put away... yup the gear was still lost :bash:, pissed off cause I missed a great day of hunting, it stayed cool all morning. I got permission from the boss that I could slowly build my gear back up, looking at all the new stuff that I could get, figuring it was going to cost about $700. I went back out to the garage about 9 to get another beer, looked down and saw a white box, I said "nah it couldn't possibly be in there, what the hell I'll look anyways" ... BINGO, it was all there :tup: Because I did such a great job cleaning out the shop now the wife wants me to do the Garage... Maby after I let the air out of my deer?
