2 more days!

Ok, I'm chomping at the bit, I admit it. Karen is coming on Monday and it's not getting here soon enough for me. I guess it's funny how my life is so different now than it was just 6 months ago. It just goes to show you how quickly things can change, in this case for the better. This lady rocked my world and she continues to have a huge impact on me daily, and I love it!

Tomorrow morning I think I will get out to Eagle Lake for the first time fishing there this year. We have a little storm going through and that's usually the best time to catch a few, and maybe it will make the time go by a little faster. Making time go faster at my age? What am I saying? Well, you know! It's a matter of the heart.

My life keeps getting better!

Today Chris and I had a great hike up into the Skeedadle mountains near Wendel. We intended to hike into Spencer Basin and we got pretty close but time was a problem. We didn't want to come down after dark so we had to turn around about 2:00 to make it back to the truck before it got too late. We were also looking for some chukars, which we found and we even got some shooting in. I got one but Chris missed his. It started snowing around 1:00 and it was light so not much of a problem for us but it was not warm up there. The weather got worse as the day progressed and we did end up getting a little wet but not too much.
We tried to follow the ridge but the rocky terrain was slow going and in many places we had to drop over the side and work around rock piles. It was a grand adventure and I even brought home a little dinner guest.
But the real reason my life is getting so good is an impending visit from Karen. She is coming out to California again next week and I will get to spend some more time with her. I am so totally jazzed about that and have been a very happy guy ever since I got the news. Like I said, my life keeps getting better and better. I hope that doesn't end anytime soon. Ya gotta love it and I surely do!
