Boy oh boy! What a cluster of a weekend...
Was supposed to go Saturday with my son, but he had a fever Friday night so we decided to rest up & get better. Still headed down to meet up with Jesse and drop off some decoys. Got to meet his better half (Tracie) and body guard (Jamie). After Milo & I took inventory of the lot lizards and solved all the problems of the world it was honey do list time. I got started repainting my son's room & cleaned up all the landscaping beds. Later that night he & Mama ended up at Urgent care because of an ear infection. Got some antibiotics & all is well.
Sunday morning he was persistent and ready to go to the show (It's our "guy time" for his birthday). My hunting buddies Frank, Adam, and their Dad were going to be there so that worked out well too. Finished up another coat of paint in the AM, then another coat of poly on the loft I'm building for him, and we were out the door after lunch....
First stop? Where else but booth 215... it was TOO good!
Really glad I could finally shake hands with these guys. Beentown & I have hunted and shot a few times, but I can now cross off Finellyshredded, Xbowguy, Danmann (& his better half), JohnROhio, Diablo, and of course Mr. Moundhill. Wish I could've hung out longer than I did with you guys. Hopefully there's a campfire somewhere in the future with a cold pop or two and we can bs a bit more.
mrex, I was gonna introduce myself on Sunday but I never seemed to catch you at the Copperhead booth when I strolled by.
All in all my son & I had a good time. He settled for a new hat, instead of a turkey call. Not sure how I was able to talk him out of that one, but my ear drums are thankful. We picked up a few DVDs, some outfitter literature for a bear hunt, and got to see friends both old and new. Can't complain too much about that!
