bad karma trapper Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 3,484 Eastern Shore of Maryland	Yeah. I quit in 2005, did nothing but fish and trap for 3 years and got bored. Started killing groundhogs for $ and now they are working the crap out of me and I love it. Never argue with a fool - they will drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

LOL But I do find that I accomplished more when I was working full time. Now I can just keep putting things off till I feel the need. The forum Know It All according to Muskrat
