Day 17 - Top Five Favorite Things To Do Where You Live

In no order.

5.  FISHING!! YEP....You've seen the pictures already in previous posts.  I love to go out to secluded lakes with my close friends and fish for HOURS on end.  Typically its an 8 hour trip, and it always seems to end too soon.   When I lived in Colorado, I was really missing open waters.  Then I realized that even if your city has water around it, there will be no fishing without a ton of people around.  What fun is that?!
        Where I live, IF I see someone else..IF....we make a point to talk with them and be friendly.  HEck, I've even coached folks about best spots to fish!

this is my fav spot in the whole world..my fishing spot

yeah, it bends around on the right and opens up to a large body of water with an awesome island in the middle.

4.  Shooting my guns.  Yep.  I dont hunt *cause I'm a card-carrying bunny-hugger*  but I love marksmanship.   Don't tell my mom but Ive walked the couple hundred yards into her back woods and held target practice.   Yep....no gun range needed, and certainly no 'pay by the half hour' sort of situations.  Just some empty cans and a tree to hang em on!   Yep...MANTASTIC!


3.  being able to estimate travel times by MILEAGe and not traffic.  Yep....If I get stuck at a light twice, I am like WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!?  Yeah, it doesn't happen.  If I see more than 5 cars stopped at a light, it's like CMON, is this a parade!?! LOL...but it's true.    The stress of traffic is KILLER and I know people on blood pressure meds in their twenties...it's not for me

2.  Small town christmas lights and shopping.   Yep..makes me feel like I was in the 50's or something.  I feel like that was a good time for America.  THe way my town decorates the trees and hangs ornaments from the telephone polls is awesome.

1.  Umm..I dunno...walk my dog around my small town.....have a fire in my backyard, hang at my recording studio in the middle of nowhere...Grow a beard, trim it into funny looks, dress up my dog, take my dog swimming at my aunt's private beach...Lots of stuff!!! 

did I mention hanging out at a secluded place where there's a series of awesome waterfalls spilling into warm pools?  Yeah..that's cool too

Sam loves to come to the falls with us!!  

Oh and there are mountains nearby that we climb..NBD

when I was young all I wanted to do was leave this 'lame' place.  After living in York PA, Providence RI, Colorado Springs, CO and all around London....I have come to truly appreciate this little 'armpit' of america.  TO me...it' s a secluded paradise (of sorts)

This is the 'dress up the dog' portion of our show

Day 15: top 5 favorite beverages

Pretty lame one today, so I'll play it straight.

in no specific order

1.  Mountain Dew (yeah, I called it the Devil's Pee Pee in a previous post)   I love it....I only drink like half a can a day now cause of the sugar and other scary ingredients like rat poison that it contains

2.  GOOD OLD AMERICAN LIGHT BEER!  Yep....Living in England was rough...NO COORS LIGHT!  Or...KEYSTONE LIGHT...or busch light!     Yep.  I like it...I don't like dark beers much, but I LOVE me some light beer.  There's nothing like being out on the lake, fishing with my buddies and cracking an ICE cold light beer.  Judge me all you want when I'm sitting in my folding chair in the back of my aluminum boat wearing my camo shorts with my gun on my hip drinking a light beer.   "YOu might be a redneck if....well, if you do ANY of those things I mentioned let alone ALL"   (ps..my brother makes a good light beer.....I enjoyed that Nick.  Even cooler that you made it)

Folding chair 'cause the bench is gone...check.   Gun tucked into camo shorts?  Check.  ice cold keystone light on tacklebox that COMES with cup holder?  Check.  Bass worthy of other men's envy?  YOU KNOW IT!!

3.   Pickle juice.  I drink it straight from the JAR.  I dont care....I will look you in the eye while I drink it and feel JUST FINE about myself.  BOSS!

4.The most deadly drink I can think of courtesy of Mr. Mike Forget is rumshata and milk.  Its like a bailey's or whatnot, and it is DEADLY mixed with milk.  Why?  cause it's sooooo good.   There's a good chance that if you drink this, it will feel like when you think you're doing 45 and you look at speedometer and notice you're doing 74.   Yep.   Be careful with this one...you may end up in drunktown when you only planned to drive to Sippsville.

5.   Merry's and Baileys.   Merry's is just as good IMO but a fraction of the price.  I love it as a winter drink when I'm hanging with My Cousin Leegull. 

that's all folks.    Oh..and I drink the CRAP outta water!  I litterally drink between 4 and 5 1000ml Nalgene's each day.   I started because it's good for me, but now I crave that much water and love to drink it.
