Hunting

January 28, 2008

Well on Saturday a friend of my dads who works with him, my dad and I, went hunting. This was my third time hunting. The first two times I had not gotten anything. So I got up at 3:30 and we headed out. We spread some corn, got everything together and got in the blind about 6:30. Pretty soon three does came out, and we waited for them to get closer in so I would have a better shot. I went for the largest one (of course!), got all sighted in, and a little after 8:00 I killed my first animal. It was one shot one kill. It never knew what hit it. So I’m going yea baby! So we took some pics, went and got the truck, took some more pics, and went and John(my dads friend) showed me how to clean it out.

So after that we went and got some breakfast, then went back to the ranch, took a nap, watched some TV, then headed back out at 3:00. There were some coons in a trap, so I shot those. Then my dad and I went to the blind, and waited for some hogs to come out. Of course we’re just writing emails on our iPhones while we wait, you know really , and roughin’ it out there. J So we wait and wait and wait, and we don’t see nothin’, and it’s getting dark, so we’re just about to give up, when we see a bobcat coming up the road, and I’m thinking, o boy wouldn’t that be a nice trophy! So it’s getting closer, but then it disappears into the brush. But then it came back out again farther up the road, and it started coming towards us, then it went into the brush again. Then it came out really , close to us but it was facing away from us so I couldn’t shoot it. But it went back into the brush again. But then it came out again on a different road, but I didn’t get a chance to shoot it. Then it disappeared into the brush again. But up the road here comes another bobcat, comes and sits down about thirty yards away in the middle of the road just screaming its head off. So I’m waiting for it to turn one way or the other, cause I know it has to turn sometime. Finally it turns and starts heading for the brush, and I start squeezing the trigger and I actually got it! I thought I wouldn’t, but I knocked it down but then it stood up and walked away into the brush, so we emailed John asking him whether or not we should go after it, so he drives up the road and we start to look for it, but the ranch owners son came along and said we should wait about an hour and just let it die, so we went and had dinner, and I’m just thinking O I hope the pelt isn’t damaged and I hope the bobcat died quickly. So after dinner we head back out to look for the bobcat and it turned out it was just a few more feet from where we stopped looking, so it didn’t suffer long, and the pelt turned out to not be damaged, cause the hole was in the stomach, and that’s where they cut the pelt anyways so that was good. So I’m gonna get a bobcat pelt in about 1-2 months. So 4 bullets, 4 kills. It was an awesome day dad, I love ya!

Idiot Sighting

January 12, 2008

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED

Caveats: NONE

IDIOT SIGHTING:  We had to have the garage door repaired. The Sears repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a “large” enough motor on the opener. I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one Sears made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. He shook his head and said, “Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower.” I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4. He said, “NO, it’s not.” Four is larger than two..”

We haven’t used Sears repair since.

IDIOT SIGHTING : My daughter and I went through the McDonald’s take-out window and I gave the clerk a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her a quarter. She said, “you gave me too much money.” I said, “Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar bill back.” She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request. I did so, and he handed me back the quarter, and said Were sorry but they could not do that kind of thing.” The clerk then proceeded to give me back$1 and 75 cents in change.

Do not confuse the clerks at McD’s.

IDIOT SIGHTING : I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new neighbor call the local township administrative office to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING sign on our road. The reason: “Too many deer are being hit by cars out here! I don’t think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.”

From Kingman , KS .

IDIOT SIGHTING IN FOOD SERVICE : My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco. She asked the person behind the counter for “minimal lettuce.” He said he was sorry, but they only had iceburg lettuce.

From Kansas City

IDIOT SIGHTING: I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked, “Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?” To which I replied, “If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?” He smiled knowingly and nodded,

“That’s why we ask.

Happened in Birmingham , Ala.

IDIOT SIGHTING : The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it’s safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine. She asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red. Appalled, she responded, “What on earth are blind people doing driving?!”


She was a probation officer in Wichita , KS .

IDIOT SIGHTING : I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself and for the sake of her life, couldn’t understand why her system would not turn on.

A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriffs office, no less.

STAY ALERT!


They walk among us… and the scary part is that they VOTE and REPRODUCE and our enemies know it!!!
