Congrats, to all! Winter is almost over and for the most part I have seen little of the cabin fever bickering of the last couple of years, or maybe I just missed it. :D

Spring bears and turkey are just around the corner.:hump:
 
I think it was EODRay keeping us on the edge of our seats!

HaHa, I'll take that. My new camp is bigger and busier. Still getting in gunfights, blowing stuff up and running missions. The problem with this new place is these guys walk to much. Just the other day I thought I was going to fall out. I have to figure out a way to lighten my load but every time I go to shorten my packing list I think…..man I gotta have that……what if?! I have it down to about 90-95lbs of carrying weight but that seems to be to much for this old man. This is a young mans game for sure.

A couple of days ago, we headed out at about 3am and at 3:15 was had to cross a stream. I only have monocle NVG's (no depth perception) and the moon had already set……so I couldn't see anything within 8 feet. I slipped on the first rock and fell in almost to my knees. I walked in the freezing water the rest of the way across. By the time we climbed the hill/mountain that was to be out OP at 5:30am, my feet were done for. I spent the rest of the day in wet shoes. Of course the bad guys wanted to shoot it out again and I still had to walk back. Miserable day for sure. Sorry no pictures, I was to busy trying to catch my breath and not freeze to death. :mad:

This concludes the weekly update from the war front. We will now resume our regularly scheduled programing.

Makes me feel stoopid for sweating some of the petty chit at my job.
