Enjoy it while you can!
I know everyone is looking forward to this years trip. Why not there is a lot to look forward to. Just like the Olympics seem to sneak up on you when you lease expect it Ryan and Aaron are making there every fourth year return to the Chutes. The last time they went with us on this trip I think Dad was still married to wife number 3. Also Larry and Bernie have talked another sucker into taking this trip by making promises of a good time and then spending everyday in camp making his life a living hell.
But for me the trip has taken on a more serious tone than in years past. Long gone are the care free days of sun, fish, and beer. I now have the added responsibility of watching over Andy. And I don't just mean not dumping his butt in the lake, cause you know it's just a matter of time before that happens. But also trying to keep him from being influenced by the wrong sort of people. I need to make sure he understands the following is not acceptable behaviour.
1. Taking a nap while you have a line in the water.
2. Drinking more than 32Oz's. of Black Velvet in one evening.
3. Coasting your vehicle across the boarder.
4. Letting Larry hold your wallet.
5. Peeing on the floor in the corner of your bedroom.
6. Hooking a duck just for giggles.
7. Trading fish for beer.
8. Forgetting to bring the popcorn.
As you can see, I will be lucky to do any fishing at all.

LOL...Some of those are just barely unacceptable. I think you also need to add making your buddies flip your mattress while you sleep.
ReplyDeleteI was perfectly fine before Troy threw me out of bed. I believe this year's trip could be one to remember. I think some clams in the shoes could be appropriate for this year's trip. Watch your backs.
