Life in the woods


Here's a picture of one of our last camping trips. As you can see I had a lot of room but {J} was a little cramped with the bike and all,,,the TV is in there you just can't see it. We spent 4 days out in the woods ruffin it. Two of those days it did rain,,{J} had a tarp for the tent,,,I had a beach umbrella broken on one side. Today I was talking to my older brother Joey and he was telling me ,,,about his hunting day yesterday with my little brother over in the Catskills,,,Joey was hunting a bit away from where Bobby was,,,Bobby all of the sudden phoned him in hysteria,,,,seems there was a pack of coyotes under the tree he was in growling away. He told Joey to get the truck and come and save him. Joey and his son walked over to where Bobby was and on the way made a lot of noice and by the time they got to Bobby no wild dogs were around,,,and yes Bobby was still up in the tree scared sh*tless. I am a big baby when it comes to wild animals in the woods,,,,I am always afraid to go hiking up in the mountains for fear of bears. This year when we camped with our pop-up camper,,,I cleaned a area under the cabinet that I could hide and be surrounded by metal and wood,,not canvas sides. So I could use my cell phone and call for help. I wanted to bring a pistol or a shotgun,,,But {J} thought it was against the law to take that into a state park. I was like..."who has to know we will only use it if we are in danger" Even like a starter pistol will I think scare away a bear or a wolf so you can make it to the car. Lucky for us that trip up in the mountains and the only proof of a wild animal was raccoon tracks on our blazer and we had the windows down so the bandit stole the bread and cookies. On the morrow I shall update on the adventures of nursing home life and preparations for my neighbors funeral. His dogs miss him terrible,,,barking all the time they are out. His father lets them out in the am and puts them away after dark,,,,way after dark,,,I feel sorry for them,,,2 pit bulls and a old golden retriever. I have been Leary of the pit bulls but last night after many hours of barking I went over and let my self in the yard,,,they were so happy to see the lady from the other side of the fence. I pet with them and feed them,,,now when I come home the bark till I go down and feed them till they are stuffed,,,and spend a little time with them. They all will be going to new homes soon,,,unfortunately separate but they will have homes to go to. I would have taken them here but my dog believes he is the only dog that should live. He has fought with other dogs and goes straight for the jugular vein,,,,so only one dog here,,,he finally is behaving to take the mussel off around people,,,well some people,,lol. Happy Trails for now!!%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%OLD " IS WHEN...Your friends compliment you on your new alligator shoes and you're barefoot. "OLD" IS WHEN.. A sexy babe catches your fancy and your pacemaker opens the garage door. "OLD" IS WHEN.. Going bra less pulls all the wrinkles out of your face. "OLD" IS WHEN.. You don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go along. "OLD" IS WHEN.. You are cautioned to slow down by the doctor instead of by the police. "OLD" IS WHEN"Getting a little action" means you don't need to take any fiber today "OLD" IS WHEN.. "Getting lucky" means you find your car in the parking lot. "OLD" IS WHEN.. An "all niter" means not getting up to use the bathroom. AND "OLD" IS WHEN.. You are not sure these are jokes.
