Parker- You gotta WANNNNNNT IT!! If I didnt have a town job Id be right up. Ive come to the conclusion everything takes at least twice as long as a guy thinks usually more. Seems like youve got to dang near kill yourself to get anything done. Gotta figure your at least as good as you were last year and if you get one thing done on the list its a huge success. Brother always tells me, while hes playing guitar hero in his jamys, if I just keep doing a little every day Ill get the syrup stuff done. Its nice to have his support like that. Just keep keepin on buddy youll get it. Theeeron

If you are working in wet conditions where rubber boots are justified or for hunting, it is hard to beat Cabelas Duratrax boots for comfort. They are lighter than about any other boots including muck boots and they are built on a tennis shoe platform and are very comfortable. Sometimes I walk 6 miles or more in a day hunting in them and my feet never get sore or uncomfortable and they are very warm and available without insulation, 800 gram and 1200 gram Thinsulate.

I definitely agree with Dave that the Arctic Sport Muckboots are a great thing! I've had Lacrosse Iceman(warm but heavy) and some tall Lacrosse that were great, but the muck boots stay dry and warm. I was out all afternoon in 10 degree weather with just a pair of lite cotton socks, and was fine as long as I was busy. Or I like my alpacas socks when I'm not moving around as much.

got in a lil sqermish w mom last night got grounded uuggghhhh, its 17 below outside any way so i wasnt planning on working in the woods any way. so i gues its ok. still makes me kinda mad.................... she just has her days where if you say "hi" you've already done some thing wrong. idk what i did last night she asked me if we had a smaller screw driver and i said no (ididnt know of a smaller one than the one in her hand) she said to come help her look for one, i said i cant help you if we dont have a smaller one and it went dow hill from there,
well needed a place to vent, thanks for listening, couldnt vent to my friends in mid terms today as we werent alowed to talk but now im waiting for a friend to finish up a little thing he had for band to give me a ride home, maybe i will sneek into the woods, moms not suposed to be home til 12:30 ish any way! maybe not, i dont think i plugged the ol jd in so i doubt shes gunna fire up and come play with me, probably will just split up some wood.

Moms
Dan, Don't push it man!!!
When the momma lion is cross, stay clear. The last thing you want to do is deliberately put yourself in from of the claws!
Next time, volunteer to do the dishes or dinner, takes 30 minutes and buys you way more time and trust for future 'I gotta get the woods work done' times.
Hang in there little bro!
