50+ thread

Without trying to include myself into the funny back-and-forth conversation, this pic made me LOL. I was given a Zebco fishing rod once by my Grand-daddy, when I complained about it not being as nice as the rods that the adults were using, he told me " boy- the fish don't know what kind of rod you're using, now go catch sumthin' !"

 

Nice days work! kudos to you!
...kinda makes me feel like a lazy turd just golfing today and now sitting on my lazy ass watchin' football

 

sounds like a full day to me.hit the couch and kick back

 

Why not? You are part of this thread.

I get a say in it?

 

I think thats how it works LOL, Say something=30days vacation!

 

Evening all!

Finally recovered enough to function like an adult again.

Took off on Sunday for my second Rim2Rim2Rim backpack. Took an easy 3 days to hike over to the north rim. Not sure what crawled up my ass, but when I started walking the next morning headed to my next campsite, I decided I didn’t want to camp there. Problem is, I didn’t have a permit to camp anywhere else… That meant only one thing; I was going to hike all the way across the Canyon.
Well, I pulled it off. 21.3 miles, down 5,780’, then up 4,800’. 10 hours: 35 minutes. And that includes an hour+ for breaks. All while carrying 18#s of gear/food/water.

 

you are amazing.lots of people dont understand mountain hiking is not flatlanding.

 

Good Evening

Was a good Saturday. We got the house decorated for Christmas. Just wish all the kids could be here for Christmas.
Spent some time in a tree with the muzzleloader this afternoon. Didn't see a thing except a cat.
Made some orange pecan cookie dough. I'll bake um up tomorrow.

Somebody please make these yellow snow flakes stop.

 

Wow. That’s one long walk!

Someone once told me that hiking like that will make you see yellow spots…

 

back in my younger days we hiked all day following hounds in the mountains. were pulling Rader Mtn. at dark. 3 of us. one quit and said keep going he knew where he was at. then i quit. waited on him. Big Jim 6ft3” @250 at the time never stopped. we used a topo map later and figured we did 15 miles up and down ridges.never been so sore in my life.my legs just quit.

 

That's awesome , hiking alone and a 21 mile distance is quite the accomplishment


This reminds me of those 20 plus mile forced march speed nature hikes the US Marine corps made us do

 

That is a heck of an accomplishment

 

Good Morning

Currently 51° overcast skies , High 70° and rain and strong t storms in the forecast for today

Have an Awesome day

 

Good morning everyone.


I’m getting caught up on the past few days, seems like @Cuffs had an awesome hike in the GC, @dewayne helped a neighbor and was rewarded, @MoneyMan55 got a nice 6 point and verified its tastiness, @vssman was the hardest working guy on Saturday, @Marty65 had a nice drive to Vermont but couldn’t fish, @CVYota and @Tacoma Mike are offering gifts to @MTgirl, @Taco-Grinder didn’t blast a cat with his muzzleloader, and @US Marine had a nice dinner with his brother.
If I missed anything else, my apologies.

I need to get the yards cleaned up today and finish up the outside holiday decorations. Enjoy your day folks!

 

Good morning everyone, sleeping in is nice. Wet stuff in the forecast for today, it’s ether going to be white, or clear, or both. The radar map looks like modern art. Coffee and chores today.
