3 1/2 months.....

Howdy! Hard to believe it's been that long since we moved from the lake. Time goes so fast.
The older I get, the less I enjoy being out of my element. I guess I just need that comfort zone and my own space, Never used to be that way....
I did take my own advice, noted in my last blog. I got on the phone and TALKED to my friends. Quite a change from email, blogs and all the other impersonal ways we communicate these days. Even got a few invites for cookouts and the like.
BUT, now it's time to get a move on and start planning some activities. We've been so busy unpacking and trying to get organized, I've hardly spent any time in the woods. That's gonna change starting this weekend. Kurt will be coming up and then Johnny and Uwe. Uwe is our new deer hunter. Always fun to welcome a new hunter into the fold plus I can impart all my great wisdom upon him!
Been seeing turkeys at the end of my driveway, deer of course, and there's at least two bear roaming around. Hope to get out grouse hunting soon after I decide on the location for the next great deer stand.
I had another wonderful idea. I'm teaming up with "Real Texas Fish" and we are going to put together - are you ready for this? "Mel and Dewey's Greatest Hits Volume 1". We're each gonna pick 4 rock and 4 country songs. Mel's already working on his list. I, umm, haven't had the time yet but it's gonna be a great cd.
Well, hopefully tomorrow they can get the hot water heater working. That and some excavating and we're pretty much done except for some furniture left in storage and figuring out how to best organize my garage - the "Man Cave". Damn I hate moving however this is where we want to be...
Hey, a special thanks to Kurt, Blase, Uwe and Stone for walking ditches with Johnny and I over Labor Day weekend. Not many volunteers anymore so we all had to walk two miles each. No matter. Time goes fast when you walk with good people......
