I have a question for you all?
Who do you think is more crazy?...…..Duck hunters,ice fishermen or golfers or someone else I may have forgot btw ice fishermen are different
than you and me, we are just not the same!
I used to live on a lake in northeastern Wash. and it was there I met two of the three crazys….zero degrees wind blowing and their they were
huddling in their boat in a lily pad field waiting for the ducks to show up so they could make like D/Day.
Next the ice/fishermen, remember they are not like u and me,a Bud of mine talked me into trying it once …….froze my ass off same zero
degrees wind blowing and I had to cut a hole through a foot of ice and then sit on a bucket while staring at that hole hoping to catch
something.....once was enough of that!!
Last and the Champion as far as I'm concerned are the golfers...….having had enough of cold weather I moved to AZ. where it gets hot as
hell!......not much water around here so I needed to find something to do, there was a golf course near by so I applied for a job having never even
been near a course in my life I thought it would be good for me, get in shape,cut some grass and take it easy!!……...july,August something called a
Monsoon rolls though here and all hell breaks loose so thunder lighting rain and wind and in the mist of this those crazy Golfers continue to play
metal clubs in hand they stop for nothing!! and that's all I to say about that

Anyone can catch fish in a boat but only \"El Pescador Grande\" can get them from the beach.
I hope when my time comes the old man will let me bring my rod and the water will be warm and clear.

If you're still working at the course and a lightning storm comes in, take out your one-iron and hold it as high above your head as you can.
Even GOD can't hit a one-iron.
I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!

Just like Evil Knievel at the Snake River jump, we were just waiting for that splat.

If you are caught on a golf course during a storm and are afraid of lightning, hold up a 1-iron. Not even God can hit a 1-iron.

Great post.
I golf, therefor I am.
I fish, but not on Ice.
My bird dog died long ago...he was an idiot and chased those ducks through everything while I was drinking fireball and coffee and shooting everything
that flew while a propane heater kept me warm.
Not sure who to vote for on that list but if I may... the dudes with the squril suits jumping of El Capitan is either really cool or really dumb. I am
still unsure. You would probably find me on a paint bucket on ice before a squril suit. I think I am getting old....S..T!

This one has a Nomad link! https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=garret+bartelt+valdez&a...
The link is me! My ski patrol in Anchorage provided rescue support for the Valdez Extreme Ski Competition for the nine years it existed. The first
person on scene was a Crested Butte ski patroller, but he had no radio or gear, other than what he was carrying for a photographer.
I skiied down from from the top to render first aid, while my son and another patroler brought a sled and traction splint for his broken femur. We
splinted his leg, then hauled him down to a helicopter LZ and he was airlifted to a hospital.
There were many clips broadcast over the years about that famous fall, and my son and I are edited out of all but the most obscure versions.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!
