I Screwed Up, and I Knew Better !!!

Maybe you need a new wife or maybe just a new life Hoyt? :p

Well... we are approaching 30 years... it has been "touch-and-go" on a few occasions, but we are still hanging in there... I don't really subscribe to the "grass is greener" strategy.... it is usually just the angle you are viewing it at... and as the old saying goes; "the grass is greenest where you water it."
 
WOW..............has this thread changed course...................TWK:d:d



Hey Ardent, Did you ever go fishing from Northern Rockies Lodge at Muncho Lake. I would swear that a photo of you is in their slide show on their closed cicuit TVs. Complete with leather cowboy hat I have seen photos of you wearing elsewhere and holding a humungous laker.?

Even if I got married tomorrow I probably would not live long enough to see a 30 year anniversary. Good on you Hoyt, between the stories of crawling on hands and knees for wounded bears and a 30 year marriage, one thing can be said, you aren't a coward and you have perseverance!! ;)
 
We won't delve into TOTAL married years, but I have managed to stick with this last one for 15 so far, it will be 16 in the spring............a new record !! I am definitely mellowing though............I may actually be worth being married to in the next 10 or so years........

To all of you who are having marital discourse (not to be confused with intercourse), try a trick I learned a while back. Out of the blue one day just buy your significant other a single long stemmed red rose..........not a dozen or they assume you have strayed, but one single rose, and see the reaction. I think you will be pleasantly surprised........and don't have plans to go anywhere that evening. Going over to a buddies to help him bed a rifle or load some shells negates any good will the rose may bring.........ask me how I know this.......
 
You suggest a single rose in the kullor noire per say?
I quit buying flowers and jewellery a long time ago, waste awf moohlah.
If I could find that three ring set she has cleverly hidden, I'd sell the set and buy
me a new rifle.
Now eye gartzs a head ache.
Where's duh wishkey.................?..............................:runaway:

:)It 'definately' helps. This coming August will be year 47 for us. However, it doesn't take much to negate the 'benefits' and good will of that single rose:redface:. One of my latest boo boo's was showing my wife a photo of one of her 'favorite' politicians, Saraha Palin, holding an up north rifle. So, in my den, I gave her my Winchester model 71 deluxe and had her do a similar pose;) with what I told her, was a real up north rifle. After a little 'photo work';), I showed her what I said looked like sisters.



Long story short,:redface: it's going to take a lot more than a single rose to straighten this out.

Damndest golf shoes I ever saw.
 
Here is my "UP NORTH" rifle.........standard grade with a new Vari-X1 3-9 x 40. This was my Grandfather's rifle, he purchased it new in Cobalt, On in 1958-59? He drilled and tapped it and it wore a Weaver fixed 4x scope for as many years as I can remember. He must have scoped the rifle right after buying it as I can recall a picture from 1961 with the rifle leaning against the antlers of a 50"+ bull moose he took around the Frederickhouse Dam area. In 1981 after retiring and moving to Vancouver Island he refitted the rifle with a fixed 4x Bushnell Scopechief VI and refinished the wood as the original finish was worn off in places from so many miles of tromping the bush. I replaced that scope this fall just prior to the whitetail season opener with the scope in the picture and gave the Bushnell to a fellow CGN'r for his 6 year old boys 22. I wont list his name but his young fellow at 6 years of age just survived a lengthy bout with cancer and his father was out of work for two years looking after him and just returned to work part time. Anyways thats some of the story behind my inherited Model 71 .348 Winchester..........I love this rifle!!


 
Damndest golf shoes I ever saw.

They were made for me by Pierre Paris,;)and just what I needed for 'playing golf' and pulling rigging on a 120' View spar in Gold River in the mid 60's. Bought them the week before I quit and kept them for hunting in the timber. Arnold Palmer, eat your heart out.

Oh, BUM, no comment on the scope on the spanks up North rifle??

Are you kidding? I've seen photos of the spank.

I should have had some French golf shoes like that while I was wandering around on the ice for the last 10 years.
 
Geez little wonder I'm getting no answers to my thread. I guess I got to go do a fk up then post it. Looking for answers pre fk up don't seem to draw a crowd. Guess it's the same way a pile more people stop to see a blood and guts accident than those who stop to see a pre celebration happy parade

:)I couldn't resist twisting your tail a little.

On those boots, while great here on logging claims on the 'wet coast' they would leave a lot to be desired in the warmth factor department on your ice travels.

Merry ChristMoose BUM:)
