| Not too much has been happening here... except one exceptionally odd thing on Thursday night/Friday morning. It had been running between 70 and 80 for most of last week and this week, then bam, Thursday it dropped down to 60... no big deal, right? Well, when I got out of my hunter's safety class that night it was snowing like a motherfucker! On the drive home I could only see about 20 feet in front of the car and it was windy as hell. I woke up Friday morning and much to my suprise about 1/2 and inch of the snow had stuck.. I took a picture just to show all of you fuckers down home that winter doesn't quit up here until it's damn well good and ready to... apparently it isn't ready to yet this year because the temps have been running about 40 today and we have another chance of snow tonight. It is supposed to warm back up into the mid 60s this coming week though, so I guess it might fianally come to an end. I didn't have my 9am class Friday, but that was offset by my 8:30 appointment with my advisor to get scheduled for this coming fall. I woke up late and as a result I didn't get there until 8:45. Oh well, the meeting only lasted about 5 minutes... all the advisors say is "you should take this and this, the rest is up to you...mmm kay?" When I got back to my room to start picking classes I had an ephiphany; I am a fucking MORON! I got looking at my major/lib ed requirements and realized I hadn't accomplished much this year because I set up piss poor semesters! As a result I"m probably going to wind up being here 4 1/2 to 5 years! I was a bit pissed to say the least... oh well, what can you do? Anyway, I scheduled heavy and that should totally finish off my lib ed requirements... man I am a retard. That was about all I did on Friday, aside of beating myself in the head with a large blunt object for being so stupid. I had a very big suprise this morning; Rich called me up from the cities and told me that he'd had a triple bypass surgury last week. That was some shocking news to me considering I've known him from the time I was in diapers coupled with the fact that he's only about 45 and always seemed to be in pretty decent health to me. The shitty thing about the whole deal is that he won't be able to fish for nearly a year, and he probably won't be able to hunt ever again. Went out shooting my .44 Mag and my .22 today at the old gravel pit, but some punk ass kids came up on 4 wheelers and I didn't want to wind up shooting them so I left... damned fucking kids, what a bunch of little bitches. After that I talked to my dad... we got together a game plan to try to track down the next rifle I want. I wasn't planning on buying another rifle anytime soon but it's addicting, what can I say. I'm looking for a Marlin 1894CL in either .25-20 or .218 Bee. It'll probably take a while to track one down though, since they were only made from 1988 to 1994 and the production numbers weren't that high. Still, having a chicken smoker in a lever action should be awesome, especially for coyotes and other varmints Not much happened after that... just doing some homework and my laundry right now. Later on man... |
