Who else is ready for that DEER KILLIN', WOOD CUTTIN', BONFIRE BURNIN', BEER DRINKIN', WHISKEY SIPPIN' TIME OF THE YEAR?!?!?!?!?!!??
Well... except for the wood cuttin'... you just described any time of year at my house
But yeah, fall is surely my favorite season.
I took the 7-year-old down the river in the boat Saturday hopin' to catch a few small mouth and walleye... but it just ain't been cool enough yet. I did manage one little small mouth throwin' spinners, and the boy pulled in two real nice channel cat floatin' a shinner... he had a blast, so I called it a successful day fishin'. Truthfully, the day was all about him anyway, so if he thought it was a success who am I to argue?? If we'd get a week or so of cool weather those walleye should start hittin'... but it's still in the friggin' mid 80s here‼
I'd like to start cuttin' standing-dead elm, there's at least a dozen in the woodlot... but until we start gettin' our normal September weather with mornings in the 40s and 50s it flat ain't gonna' happen. It was 72° when I rolled out at 5:00 this morning... that's just crazy for mid-September. It appears Ma' Nature has put a hold on fall for us this year, the forecast is for mid-to-upper 70s all next week, but possible some mornings in the 50s... we'll see. Heck, normally a frost wouldn't be any real surprise for next week, but that ain't gonna' happen unless the weather guys have really screwed up.
