What happens when you find yourself with the dilemma of the hex being on, Seamus wanting and needing to get some running in, the grass at the cabin needing to be cut and the overwhelming urge to beat brush to my favorite spot on the Jordan? Well, you plan ahead and bring “She Who Must Be Obeyed” to help keep you focused on priorities. The problem becomes, whose priorities?
I bought a lawnmower with a Koehler engine a couple of years ago because they start easy and generally perform exceptionally well and taught “She Who Must Be Obeyed” how to start and run it. And what I discovered was, “She Who Must Be Obeyed” likes cutting grass. One problem solved!
That leaves Seamus …and he’s not as easily satisfied. So we begin at 5:30 and go for a mile and a half jaunt, share bacon and while he’s taking his morning nap, I sneak out and fight the mosquitoes that seem to have taken over the bog I trek thru to get to “Rainbow Bend” where I’ve hit the trifecta several times.
The hex haven’t hit the Jordan yet …as far as I know. So a trip to the Au Sable is a must and is put into the itinerary. Now all I have to do is convince “She Who Must Be Obeyed” it’s refreshing to begin the day at 5:30 and go on a jaunt with Seamus ….so I can sleep in after fishing into the night. Hmm!
I have a feeling, it might cost me dinner at the Argon Supper Club.
