Camo chocolate? WTF? Are there people out there that can't stop at wearing Mossy Oak, they have to eat it too?
Suppose I am out turkey hunting, and it's mid morning, and I'm needing a snack. I raise my face mask to take a bite of my REGULAR Hershey bar, which has warmed up in my shirt pocket. A gobbler walks by and sees me there with ordinary brown chocolate smeared around my mouth. What do you think will happen? He will putt and fly off in an INSTANT, laughing as he leaves. Did I have camo chocolate? Oh, no. Now, my family goes hungry as I come home emptied handed.
I agree that it's kind of a stupid concept, but it's still delicious. Also, they're supposed to look like rocks. For some reason. I don't think the camo part really has much to do with it.
You motherfuckers can hate all you want with your fancy toilet bowl lights, but those rocks are the best. THE BEST. I finally finished my taxes today. Had to be at the last minute because the job I left in March made getting the W2 as big of a pain in the ass as possible. God bless those returns. I have no idea why I did them myself last year. I thought I was so fucking clever because I initially owed a few hundred and finagled it to get a few hundred back instead. Turns out a good accountant can get you a few thousand. I also start a new job next week (voluntarily leaving my current position this time, yay!). I'm leaving corporate America behind and hopefully for good. I'll also have a work schedule that doesn't wreak havoc on my personal life. Plus, it's work that I actually enjoy and I'll have only ONE boss to potentially piss off this time instead of the usual dozen or so. I must interview well because my resume is so ridiculous right now. This is my 4th position in roughly a one year period. Hopefully this will be the end of playing musical chairs with employment status. After a bumpy as hell 2016, 2017 is shaping up nicely.
I'm stoked for summer. Pike fishing in Minni, family trip to Telluride in August (and of course trout fishing in the mountains), a great professional opportunity is shaping up, good times.
My wife had her first major sonogram this morning for the parasite growing inside her (she's about 4 months). Dude looks just his brother at that stage. Crazy how far modern medicine has come in the last decade or so. Crazy what all they can determine and how early (they sexed him at 10 weeks based upon a vial of blood from my wife).
Just got bit up and down the forearm after attempting to remove an owl from being entangled in the bird wire of my duck pen. This is hilarious, because I recently got approved for a raptor permit (they're taking my breeding livestock and I've demonstrated multiple non-lethal means to deter them). That's what I get for trying to help nature.
Concussion number something I forget now. I know it's half a dozen at least. CTE here I come!!! I think around two in the hospital they said I was in danger, but whatever, odds are shouldn't have lived past my brain tumor anyway so borrowed time anyway. Stupid oak tree branches. But now having two kids complicates things.... I've donated a lot to Children's Brain Tumor Foundation and if anyone cares for a second, that's the place. At this point, I try to preserve my life as much as I can but there's that ticking clock. No sense of balance. Lack of short and long term memory. Try to do as much as I can for my family, but once in a while, reality hits, and damn. It's been almost 10 years. August 9th. That's 10 years.
I'm super cautious when it comes to anything hitting my head. I've had enough concussions in the past, I don't need anymore. I may be a bit paranoid about them but I gotta use my brain to make a living, so its worth worrying about. Its one of the reason I stepped out of the net.
So in addition to the concussion, I also got bit by an owl last night. It dive bombed the duck pen and got caught in the chicken wire on top, went to free it, controlled the legs (talons) and didn't realize those fuckers bite like hell!
