    I’ve got hunting in my blood and for some reason I’ve got it bad this year.
    I’ve been watching the morning skies for waterfowl but haven’t seen anything yet. I drive by a couple of ponds on my way to work and nothing there yet either.
    There have been some cold fronts pass through the pacific flyaway but too far north to affect my area. I’ve packed my gear bag 3 Times now. Both my wetland and upland gear have the proper paraphernalia in the proper pockets. Shotgun is really really clean too!
    Shot 100 targets of sporting clays Saturday thinking that might provide some satisfaction. It made it worse.

    This is like being a horny teenager all over again.

    In my vast experience, once either partner loses interest in sex, its only a matter of time before the marriage falls apart. Not the reason for failure, but a symptom of bigger problems.

    Thanks, but I can't currently beat the prices online when shipping is included. An exception would be for someone who needs an X-large (greater than 8-9 inches) bracelet since that's the most common size. Run a string around your wrist (slightly loose) then measure the length of the string or use a measuring tape.

    I remember Prager swearing by loyalty to one's spouse.
    Then he got a divorce and kinda changed his view on
    Marriage.It's a Jewish thing.That is why there are so many Jew
    Lawyers.Plus Jews are very quick to Judge other's.
    Take Judge Judy for example.She would make a really pitiful Nun.

    Yeah, divorce leaves one jaded about marriage. I honestly believed marriage was a lifelong commitment until my first old man turned 40 and left me (after 18 years) for a barmaid with green teeth who gave great bjs.

    Hes dead now. (Not my doing) ;)

    So I'm leaving soon and I have no idea what to do with my two TVs and my desktop.

    Should I leave them in storage for 4-12 months (depending on where I get orders for), should I sell them, or should I give them away to a school or something. I'm not really in a giving mood though

    I made these a few years ago. Each has 2 pieces of 5' paracord.

    I saw the initial picture. Nice work! Snake or box braid? I'm working up to that but waiting for some shackles and buckles to arrive.

    lol I had trouble posting that.
    I don't know the name of the knot. It was one I learned as a kid.

    Edit to add.
    We use to ride our bikes to the hobby shop. They sold this plastic long material. It was on bolts so you could get any size you wanted. The owner was a cool guy. He taught us how to do those knots. I never forgot them. Ive made key chains for people with shoe lace leather with those knots. The leather key chain we have is probably about 15 years old. It broke in so nice over time.

    Have you ever made paracord fishing flies?

    We were inventive and creative. An old clothesline was the gift that kept giving. An old wooden crate vegetables came in with some boards and it steered like a sled. I almost drilled a hole in my head when we made that. Never ever use a drill unless you tie your long hair back. By the time the drill wound up a ball in my hair it stopped right at my temple. Like holding a drill to my temple. Ahahaha What a lesson we learned that day! I could have drilled a hole in my head by accident. Imagine going home and explaining that one.

    That is the truth. I know someone who was going to get a divorce, they decided it would be easier to try to work things out. They are still married so they must have worked things out or just tolerate each other..lol. Our state doesn't like divorces. I think it should be just as hard to get married as it is to get a divorce. Some people don't bother getting married they just shack up.

    Can you make a monkey fist knot? I think that is what it is called. When I get a spare day I would love to learn how to do things like that.

    Think about finding a storage place that is climate controlled if you are going to store them. Otherwise, sell them or give them to a school or charitable organization for a tax deduction.

    Once we got the drill unwound enough to get my hair away, my hair looked like I had a frizzed out golf ball near my temple. It was a mess. I had to cut it off.

    I have a paracord necklace that a friend made me. It has four single strand tails that have a slip knot on each end that cinch around my duck calls. Each tail is different in length so the calls are not hanging all together. I love the thing. There is just something about hand made crafts that I find cool.

    It sounds great. Cool idea too.
    I love making things. Always have. I just cut and stacked some old wooden fencing to repurpose as a canvas to do art work and signs. I made a few flags with them and did a fall painting on one. Now Im focusing on practicing hand lettering.
