What a daredevil!

Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

The camp where I work has a giant swing. It’s kind like the big v-swings you see at amusement parks, but much cooler, in my opinion, because of the free fall factor at the beginning. We were training our summer staff on the swing last week and we hooked Jake up in a child’s harness, strapped him to my own harness and the v-swing, and away we went. He was a bit nervous on the way up, but when we dropped and started swinging back and forth, he went completely limp and just laid back and enjoyed himself. Toward the end of the ride, he even started kicking his feet and laughing! What a brave little guy. The pic below is just as we’re getting started when he’s still not too sure about things…

What a Man!

A Successful Day of Sitting in the Cold

Tried to post these for a while, but had issues…Got this old fella the Saturday after Thanksgiving using a gun made by my brother John, the .358 Wisley. Shot him on the run from about 60 yards. I’m guessing around 175 lbs dressed out…sure makes great chili!

Loss of a Legacy

Last year, after the hike was over, I was intent on keeping the beard as long as possible…that lasted all of 3 days since we were heading to Mel’s 10 yr reunion…So, here are the pics of the beard coming off…thinking about growing it back, what do you think?
