One day to the next

Postby Lefty » 11 21, 2019 •  [Post 1]

I headed out to visit my brother in Minnesota
While driving past a buddies goose spread my brother started asking about what I had for clothes
I stated I had wool underwear another base layer and wth his military feather bag I would be toasty

We got back to his place for lunch and mentioned swimming . Then I just wasn’t getting what he was talking about

“Grab some clothes, were going to Charlie’s “ we have two hours to make it to the plane”

Saturday we were walking on the lake wth 5 1/2 inches of ice
The past few days walking on the beach
Just a shock to the whole system

That pic was in Fort Desoto ParkOur flight was delayed so we’re sitting in Tampa airport
The fishing trip fell apart but it was good to see my nephew
We drove around and hit a lot of different beaches

Have you been practicing your elk calls or setting up any stands in the Palm trees? You do not want to get out of practice and shabby on vacation.

I spent a lot of time on the beach no tracks from elk anywhere

I wasn’t practicing calling , but there were cougars everywhere, only way to keep them away was to watch the hockey game :?

Probably the main reason you went to the beach was to watch all the cougars! :shock: :lol:

Not me I happy with my wife
Nearly all were over 50 , most older, nothing like Bay watch on the beach :lol:
I did see one, yes one gal on the beach with a couple middle school kids but she was a nanny

My nephew warned that it would be a problem he would protect me .
Kind of sad really. Just women desperate for meat . some stopped and we’re friendly Looking for a friend, others just wanting a guy for the evening

We spent most of our time early morning on the low profile beaches the evening and nightlife has never been my thing
