I’m sitting here, waiting for my nail polish to dry on my toes, and Matt is on his way to and from his office at the other end of town. He left his uniform belt and one of his medals there. He needs both for the cocktail event tonight. So, I figured before I was … Continue reading »
PlayOutdoors has a Facebook!
I finally bit the bullet and put up a Facebook page. Now my friends and family can come here (Hi Mom!). Matt directed his dad here to read more about the Ditch Boat, my boating-enthusiast aunt and uncle in Missouri read all about the Ditch Boat. My high school English teacher even came and took … Continue reading »
Wrapping up Turkey Season.
Yesterday was the end of my turkey tags. We’d planned to go out in the morning, before both of us had to work. This time, 4 am rolled around and I was wide awake. Matt, however, is exhausted. Between his job and everything we do on the weekends, he’s getting pretty burnt out, but don’t … Continue reading »
Weekend Plans
In spite of turkey season ending, May is a very busy month for us, and we have another busy weekend ahead of us. Part of the weekend is yet another work function Matt and I have to attend. It’s a pretty fancy cocktail dinner event, and there will be at least two generals in attendance, … Continue reading »
One Check Off the To-Do List.
This afternoon, I got us one step closer to having a project finished- I finally taped off the windows and some fixtures on the camper! Yes, they are awkwardly cut and taped together grocery bags, but there’s a chance of rain tonight, and I didn’t want to do it all over again if newspapers dissolved … Continue reading »
Progress on the Boat.
The trip to Wyocena didn’t pan out yesterday. Neither of us really felt like driving 40 miles, to go someplace we haven’t ever scouted. I hope we do get a chance to look it over. It would be nice to have one more place to try to hunt for fall turkey and deer, and it’s … Continue reading »
Chilly Sunday Morning Turkey Report
Well, we’re finally seeing and hearing turkeys. Which is a step up, I suppose. Saturday afternoon we went out after Matt got done with a work fuction. I sat in the front field out at Sunny Slope, and Matt headed back to sit in the spot I’d used the last two times I was out. … Continue reading »
Friday Morning Turkey Report.
So, it worked out that the one day I had off this week to go and sit out solo before the weekend, it rained literally all day long. I still went out, because it wasn’t a down pour, and I managed to sit for about two and a half hours. I also managed to forget … Continue reading »
First Turkey Report: The Joys of Public Land Hunting
Yesterday in the evening I went out for my first turkey hunt. It was a nice, warm day, and I wasn’t walking too far back at Sunny Slope. The county had had crews out to clear away winter deadfalls blocking the old tractor access that runs to the back of the land parcel. The land … Continue reading »
First Time Out: Turkey
I’m currently preparing to head out for turkey this evening. I don’t really know what I’ll see. Matt was out this morning by himself, and he didn’t see anything come close. I’ve got all my camo in my pack, as I just came in from putting in my garden. Plus it’s about 80 degrees outside- … Continue reading »
