Again?

Yep. Pregnant, again. Wifey took a pregnancy test back on her birthday, and it came back positive. Excited to tell people, I wound up telling people on my route before telling my mom on father’s day with Meredith wearing a “Big Sister” shirt. I went to the ultrasound at 12 weeks to see how the baby, affectionately called Peapod because we don’t know the gender yet, was doing. They did the…

Ground blind hunting

I don’t remember when it was, but my dad got this idea for the two of us to sit behind some camouflaged netting at the old farm where he hunted. He set netting around a bunch of trees so that we could walk in and sit at a pinch point. We sat on some buckets and just waited and waited. I must have been getting bored because I walked out the blind and sat under a tree and took a snooze. I got up…

First Hunting Story

My first time hunting with my dad must have been in 1993 or ‘94. Dad said he was going hunting and I said I wanted to go. I remember changing into warm clothes and getting in the family van we had at the time. It was bow season and dad was in full camo; he and I went out to where he and a few others would hunt. The place where we were hunting was a farm that dad and his buddies had known about…

Truck Build

If you have been following me on Instagram, you’ve been seeing a slow progression of how the truck is being transformed. Had to replace the air compressor for the truck when I wound up taking over the title of it. June 2022 Tonneau cover: I took off the tool box that dad had on it and the F150 that he had had in 2007. September 2022 Weathertech mats and under the seat storage: Without a tool…

The Sacrifice

Things had gone from bad to worse and there wasn’t much time to make decisions, other than what they knew needed to be done. The group consisted of four men, two of them non-combatants. While they knew what to do when it came to shooting, they wouldn’t know what to do when it came to pulling the trigger. The other two had training, while one’s was limited, he made up for it with knowledge and not…

Flex-Plus

I have always loved Spypoint cameras and their products. When I heard about the Flex-Plus I knew I had to get one, because some of the areas I have on my property make it difficult for me to go and constantly change out batteries as they are deep in the woods. It would be a great idea to have a solar panel hooked up to a camera, but again, because the camera is deep in the woods and doesn’t get…

Diverticulitis

Something that has plagued my family, my mother especially. My dad started having problems with it probably 10 years before he passed away, and he had learned how to control it. He started dieting correctly and barely had any flair ups until his time of passing. My mother, on the other hand, she had it the worst. Her first bout of it hospitalized her and she needed heavy antibiotics to get her…

My Shoulder Journey

This started in November of 2007, when I was a freshman in college. I swam for Ramapo College in their newly reformed NCAA Division 3 swim team as one of their main 3 distance swimmers. For about 4 weeks I was put on the shelf due to my left shoulder being inflammmed. It sucked, and I eventually went back to swimming like nothing happened. Fast forward to late August 2022, and I have an SR350…

New Gear for 2023

ScentLok’s BE:1 Ridge So I bought this about a month or so before hunting season, and was really interested in the idea that it was a hoodie versus a zip up jacket. If you know me, I prefer hoodies over anything else during the colder months. Last year prior to the weekend for gun, I bought the Reactor jacket, which was much more of a zip up hoodie than anything. While it was a good windbreaker,…

Hunting 2023

Like always, I posted my trip on my Instagram stories like I’ve been doing since 2020. Day One – Saturday It’s really a half day of hunting. I left my house at around 7:45 in the morning to get to the farm, which is about normal. I knew it was going to be warm and that deer movement was going to be slow. I picked up some odds and ends from the Wal-Mart in town before continuing up to the farm,…

July 20, 2023

**** Be warned I’m not sugar coating much of this so it will be graphic **** This was the happiest day of my life. But let’s back up first. Leading up to Thursday, July 20th, the boys and I were planning our annual Pocono Raceway trip. I bought all the food for tailgating and dinners for the weekend. We were pretty set, because I also was going to be taking Kyle and Anthony with me to Pocono…

Canada 2023

This was a rough one. And unfortunately I didn’t log this like I usually do, and I’m writing this all based upon memory. My father and I had pre-planned this trip prior to the Covid-19 outbreak. We had been delaying it for quite some time because we couldn’t cross the border without having a negative test, quarantine and just a whole lot of extra stuff. Someone like me, who was deemed essential…

The Canada Anthology - Quick Stories

I started going to Garden Island Lodge on Lady Evelyn Lake in 1999 when I was 10 years old, these are odds and ends stories of my time up there.—In 2008, at Grandpa’s Island aka Eagle Island, Dad did the ultimate hold my beer moment of “Hey look watch this” as he casted in front of a Pike and caught it. — At Mowats landing, twice Al would be standing talking to people, and all of a sudden a dog…

Canada Anthology - What you got son?

The day was exceptionally windy, and cold, and cloudy. We expected rain at any point but it never came but either way dad and I were in out rain paints and survival jackets all day. We came in early about 1pm without realizing how cold we were until we got in the cabin. After dinner the waves were choppy and the wind seemed to have picked up. We tried some places that seemed like we would catch…

Canada Anthology - That tree

This is going to be part of a larger series of stories I have stuck in my brain from when I would fish with my dad and grandfather at Garden Island Lodge. So one time, sometime in the time frame of 2007 until 2015, when it was just my dad and I fishing, we were trolling and drifting around Long Island. The bite was good in certain locations. I’m at the front of the boat and I hear my father…

Rogue Kel: The War Ends (2003)

Another story but from 2003 Twelve years ago, alien invaders destroyed Earth. Only one million people survived and were transported onto our space station including myself. Two years after that I was on a reconassince mission with my squadron called the Talon squadron. It was normal at first but the aliens came and shot all of my comrades down. I survived but lived with those 11 deaths resting…
