Lack of Respect
With the new day breaking, I walked the bank of the Pere Marquette, looking for my first honey hole of the morning.  It was beautiful – the sun’s rays bouncing off the banks, bringing new life to the early spring forage - but, as I walked along, something on the trail ahead caught my eye. WTF? A beer can.  And another beer can.  I hate trash! It amazes me as to how little respect s...
First Hawaiian Island Adventure
For those of you that regularly follow Simply Outdoors'  blog you know that I recently relocated to Hawaii. It has been a hectic and crazy summer to say the least, but I did finally get to experience my first "island edition" outdoor excursion recently. Words and pictures probably won't give the experience its due justice, but here it goes anyways. The day trip was planned to consist of a hike...
Another Mounted Buck for Justin
Our SimplyOutdoor Pro Staffer, Justin, had a great deer season last year.  And if you need to be reminded as to how "great" it was, you can click here. But, even though all of us completely remember how great his season was, and because Justin is the complete jerk that he is, he likes to send pictures months after the season in order to continue to rub it in. The picture in this post is of ...
Primal Thoughts
The corn is shoulder high, farmers are harvesting their wheat crop already, tomorrow it is supposed to be ninety degrees, and yet all I can think about is fall. It’s always interesting to see what triggers the senses and summons that primal hunting urge within.  The corn stalks glistening in the morning sun caught my eye this morning, as well as the morning sun’s reflection on the tractor ...
Role Reversal
After stumbling across this picture, I'm starting to get a little concerned.  I know that bears inhabit many of the woods around us, and while their population may be small in my area of Michigan, if they are starting to get this smart I might need to be careful when scouting, hunting, or simply heading to my treestand. And, Mike, my fellow Michigan hunting blog friend and bear hunter, you and...

Whoops, I almost forgot

Posted By: Arthur on October 9, 2008 in Ramblings - Comments: 7 Comments »

Since I really don’t have much energy, or the motivation to write a serious post.  And since I really haven’t done anything outdoorsy, I figured I should mention this.

My wife and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary yesterday.  And Abby was the perfect gift for that so we really didn’t buy each other anything.   Actually, to be honest, we didn’t even remember our anniversary until early in the afternoon.

The first few weeks of October are getting pretty busy for us:  My birthday, my cousin’s birthday, opening day of bow season, Abby’s birthday, my uncle’s birthday, my dad’s birthday, my nephews’ birthdays, my sister-in-law’s birthday, and our anniversary — all before the second week is over.

I think I might have to start taking out a loan to buy all of these gifts.

    Well, the nice part is that if you remember those two weeks you’re pretty much in the clear. That might be a good thing.

    We have a few clusters of birthdays but for the most part we’re spread out throughout the year – that’s the way to do it!

    Oh and just let your wife take care of getting most of those gifts – she can probably figure out how to do it ahead of time so that you don’t need a loan :)

    Your October birthday list sounds like our September bunch,we have eight birthdays.

    We have clusters of birthdays in April, July and November. The rest are spread out.

    It is nice that you should keep your family birthdays in mind. Making them feel special is positively wonderful! ;)

    Happy Anniversary to you and Jen! And just keep enjoying “little” Abby; she won’t stay that way long, I can assure you.

    I know it’s late but I hope you and yours had a very Happy Anniversary. Having little Abby there made it whole and complete.
