February Should Be Outlawed.....

Not much has been going on but I'm getting tired of that picture of me baking cookies. Oh, and by the way, they're long gone.
My neighbor Dave came up and fished this weekend. He was all over the lake and was out in my walleye hole last night after dark. It was cold so I watched his light from the comfort of my porch. Had a highball and was glad to be warm. He didn't have any luck at all so I felt vindicated wimping out.
I got drawn for turkey hunting in two states so decided to go out and buy some new turkey calls. That was required as my "significant other" decided that sticking the same call in my mouth over 20 years was not healthy. At any rate, I went shopping for calls and discovered that now one has about 50 options on mouth calls. After looking through most all of them I finally decided on one only to discover that it was a "junior size for small mouths". Well, that ain't gonna work for me. I finally did purchase a couple and have been blowing them around the house much to the dismay of my "significant other" and my dog. Ahh, but it's like riding a bike. The turkeys, hopefully, will be in trouble.
Since there isn't much going on I did my taxes AND pretty much compiled my list for "Dewey's Greatest Hits Volume 1". I've got 18 songs and am not sure if they will all fit on one cd. I guess the other problem is that I have no idea how to put them on a cd. I'm gonna have to work on that.....
On a much brighter note, it's less than 3 months to "DeweyFest"!!!

The Voodoo Lounge, The Fat Lady and Chocolate Chip Cookies with Walnuts

Well, this title should be self explanatory. I decided it was time to launch the Voodoo Lounge so I got me some minnows, hoisted the lounge onto my atv trailer and headed down to the west end for some crappie action. I spent 3 hours last night staring at my Vexilar with nary a fish echo to be seen. Driving in I heard the fat lady singin' away so that made my plans for this morning real easy...I slept in. When I got up, I took Sammy for a walk and dumped the minnows in the woods.
The best part of makin' cookies is eating the raw dough. I'm not supposed to do that but I'm pretty sneaky and usually get away with eating my fair share, Of course now I've got a stomach ache, feel guilty and will have to hit the treadmill. It's the price you pay I guess.
Hey, we lost two more rockers this last week. Billy Powell, keyboardist for Lynryd Skynyrd and Dewey Martin, drummer for The Buffalo Springfield. Where has the time gone.......
