Monday I pulled my Alabama beaver line. It was miserable, rained most of Sunday night and most of Monday when I was pulling. Rain on top of ice, rain on Alabama red clay. Yeehaa! Down the banks on my butt, up the banks on my hands and knees. I covered my truck seat with my extra coat and at the last set I was such a mess I just stripped down to socks and underwear and drove to my daughters , I called my wife and had her meet me in the driveway with pants and boots. A hot shower and things are looking better. Not! I'm cleaning and storing my equipment for our return home Tuesday and I'm 1 330 short. I check my notes, I check my memory. Ah man I got to go back out! Arggggg. I start to pull my wet muddy gear on and let me tell ya, I was PO'd. Susan asks "Are you sure you counted right?" Kaboom! "$&;: yes I counted right! I counted the ;-&$ things twice! Do I look like friggin idiot? " "Did you count that one?" And points at this - Long, long pause "No Suze I didn't ". Another long pause "What side would you like me to start on?" Suze - "What?" "What side of your butt would you like me to start kissing for the way I just acted?" She just laughed and got us some coffee, a lesser woman would have made herself a widow long ago.
Not as bad as I could be, not as good as I should be.

A good woman is hard to find. Apparently that last 330 is too. Mike

The fact that you would head back out (after enduring such awful conditions) to collect that 330, speaks volumes to your ethics as a trapper. Good Job and glad you didn't have to.

And here you was having me believing you was the best trapper around, and you cant even count man what a let down. lol I generally count 'around' as arms length.

Hate to tell you this, but it gets worse as you get older!! ^^^ 58 & 57, been together 41 years, I don't seem to getting any smarter!
