Talking Time to lighten things up again. 'I just can not wait for/until.....

In no particular order;

I get to see my kids and grandkids again,

The furnace to stop running in the garage,

The end of May so I can go fishing, then again in July, then August,

The announcement that goes something like 'has gone missing unexpectedly during his last trip to attempt to buy into the UN council',

Sunshine that heats the ground, warm rain and daylight after 10pm,

The announcement thst goes something like 'and just like that Covid19 and all it's variants are no longer a threat in any way',

That little bit of time between when I have to pay for the furnace and the air conditioner,

Lumber and vehicle prices come back down from orbit,

We hear 'The pipelines are a go!


Please add your own

Be able to sit down with friends and neighbors again, without having to worry that we are breaking any health safety rules.

Theatres to open.

So I can get a big tub of popcorn, cut a hole in the bottom, and set on my lap while the wifey enjoys the movie.
And popcorn....
She loves popcorn....

Me too...

I am going to keep with low standards

Bring on open water fishing season

Then let the planing/set up followed by hunting the whitetail rut

Outside of that I am going to take things one step at a time

Hey. Me too. I’m in exactly the same boat. Same place. Except I’m on the west side of the lake. 18 months. Trailer, all our kayaks, all of our camping gear, clothes. Wonder if a tree is laying on my trailer or if the squatters have moved in. Wonder when we’ll be allowed to cross. I’m thinking it’s not gonna be in 2020. 😡 Anyways, that’s what I can’t wait for!

I hear yuh Vinny. I tried getting my trailer last April . Told customs officer he could damn near see my trailer from border and i would not be anywhere near another human and cross back in less then an hour.
But rules are rules and i got a very stern NO.
So there she sits , and your probably right.....next year.

We just sold our cabin near Glen Lake last year. What a gong show trying to get the stuff we needed across the border. We called the border before hand and gave us the weekend (48 hours) to get our stuff. Get to the border and gave us 24 hours to pack up.

Draw my elk permit again!

Get my new rifle scope mounted!

Can find ammo and components for whatever I want and not have to pay with my kidney!

ALL people to be accountable and own up to their actions and not make some excuse or blame someone else for why they did what they did!!!!!
