Might as well watch this at your desk. Its' Friday, don't act like you're going to be getting shit done today.

I am going to fix a leaky faucet for my parents, and then I'm going fishing. Humidity is down and there is a little breeze here in the mountains. Locals have been seeing rattlesnakes, so if fishing flops I might get the local kid and go hunt a snake. I got no time to watch an hour of swells in fancy gear fishing. F*ck technology!
I'm sitting in jury duty... again.. today... fucking bullshit.
I enjoyed watching this Aaron. Sorry that I cuss like Xenie on the stream though.
this is such a dramatic cinema.
Is it Friday yet? I have fall and winter on my mind.

1st of Oct. on its way...can't wait! We gotta float that section Charlie was on...they be stacked and packed in there /'/
That muskie crap looks to be as much fun as getting a vasectomy with a weed-whacker. Now floating in the boat with a thermos of coffee, a sack of bacon biscuits, and binoculars might be fun.

I can see how casting some heavy rod all day with nothing to show for your efforts might not sound all that appealing, but even seeing one of those fish in the water is pretty exciting, let alone chasing a fly under the boat. Will make your knees wobbly.
Also, having just had a vasectomy a couple weeks ago, I can testify first-hand that the musky fishing is better. Much better.

If younger, this would've made my knees wobble.

Now, it takes stuff like this to even keep me conscious.

Consciousness is overrated.

Are you bringing bacon biscuits and coffee to share when we float? y;
Mudwall, I know Steve Watts, have been involved in some primitive skills stuff with him several times. He's a very knowledgeable guy.

Yes, he is knowledgeable and a very cool guy. I meet him at this year's Kephart Days.
Life under canvas is the way to go!!!
Kind of. ;D More like flintknapping stone arrowheads and knives, building wooden bows and cane arrows and hunting with them, starting friction fires, braintanning deer hides into buckskin, making cordage, traps, that sort of things. Steve has taught primitive skills at the Schiele Museum of Natural History down at Gastonia for many years, has written a few books, and was president of the Society of Primitive Technology. He's been on a Kephart-esque classic camping and woodcraft kick for a few years now, also. I used to do classes and demos of primitive skills at knap-ins, hippie gatherings, that sort of thing, and I still write for Primitive Archer magazine.
Oh fuck, Mudwall will be humping your leg soon. :laugh:

Nope, but I did make a discovery that made me want to hump my own leg. Over the years I have purchased "stuff", mostly used, that I thought I could use later, items that may not be available in the future because they are no longer made or I could not afford. I cached all this "stuff" in my man cave. Recently I discovered 2 items I forgot I had purchased years ago. One was a like-new Red Devil Grill, which I really do not want or need. The other was a canvas Baker style tent (like photo) made by the Duluth Pack Company. I vaguely remember buying the tent from an aging VT staff about 25 years ago. It is in great shape – I have won the lottery!
