Awesome Day...

I love Sunday's. For some reason it seems like everything comes together like it's supposed to. The only drawback that I can find about Sundays is the fact that at about this time every Sunday (9:30 PST) I start to realize that I have to hit the daily grind for the next five days and funtime is over...

Dammit! Where does the time go?

Went to a 'going away party' for my best friend's younger brother last night. Good times. It was a good turn-out, lot's of chicks, and we played drunken music until two in the morning. I know I tied one on last night because this morning I woke up on the patio couch with a a shitload of itchy bites (fuckin' spiders) and a Coors Light spilled on my crotch. WTF?? Coors Light? Shit! I guess after a few too many shots of Ta-kill-ya, I think I'm a jock or something? Coors Light? I'm sure glad no one was taking pictures, or at least I hope they weren't. Coors Light?

While the hungover folks were trying to recover this morning, I thought I would take Trooper for a walk. Me having two little hellion cats, I forgot how fun it is to take a dog for a walk. Well, who am I trying to kid? It's more like Trooper took me for a walk! He is one badass Dobie! He's on the charge the entire time! I have to lean back with all my weight just to try and slow this guy down! His nails are digging into the sidewalk, and he's on a serious mission to piss on everything even when he's out of ammo. He is hands down the coolest dog I have ever had the pleasure to meet. Z got him when he was two years old, and Trooper and I have been buddies from the start. I only wish he could come camping with us more often...

After the walk and some breakfast, I shot down to my folks' house to make sure that Dad wasn't doing the shit that I knew he was gonna do. Pops isn't happy unless he's working. He was going to mow the lawn and vaccumm the pool for cryin' out loud! Two fucking days after checking out of the ICU! Are you kidding me?

Not on my watch Dad! That's why you have two sons! WTF? Being stubborn and foolish must run in the genes, because I would be doing the same thing. He's actually come to terms with his situation, and I can guarantee you that my Mom is on top of all this shit! Dad isn't going to get away with anything!

I had a great time with my folks today. I hung out with the family 'till about 5:30, shot back to my house, grabbed my rod and tackle (get yer mind out of the gutter, perverts), a six pack o' beer, a fat doob and headed down to SP. Within 10 minutes Z had a nice bass landed. It was bitchen! It's always bitchen seeing a buddy roping a nice fish. Especially when it's launchin' out of the water! One of these times I'm gonna sit there with a beer and my camera and get an action shot.

It's so much fun I can't believe the liberals haven't banned it yet...

I got skunked today, and that's okay. I only lost two swimbaits and I had a blast! More importantly, I caught a great buzz. My day was full circle. What the heck more could I ask for? I love Sundays!

Here's the fish o' the day. Nice bass Z...

This is Trooper the badass devil Dog... He said to say "what's up!"

btw Z, what's up with the tactical fishing shirt and tactical fishing watch? Can you scream, "here we are" any louder?

Pretty stealthy there dude... BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAA!

I love Sundays!

My MIL had a red dobie that got very protective of my son when I'd bring him over as a baby.
She'd be stuck to him like glue and would even snap at our OWN dog if he got to close to the baby.

Nice fish! Damn I gotta get my ass to the water.

Been there done that too, but Coors Light,,,now thats really sad. I have a friend who drinks that ratpiss, and when he comes to my house to hang, I make him leave it in his truck, incase someone else drops by and sees it in my garage and starts making with the smartass remarks.

Nice Doberman. That's the exact dog I was thinking about getting for the family. I'll have to give you a call and talk some dog shit with you.

Claudia said...

WOW! I don't know which one to admire the most...Z, the bass, Trooper or you, CD. So glad you're having a great time. But mostly that your dad is at home and mom + sons are watching over him. Believe me, it will be hard for him not to overdo things.

Ohhhh!!!! Where'd you get the fine Doberman? We had one that looked like him when I was a kid. Well kinda sorta. Ours was half wolf, but he looked like a doberman.

Paul-
Trooper is a cool dude, but he is a handfull! If you haven't met him yet, you better have a treat and a scratch behind the ears for him, or you are getting nipped. First impressions are important with this guy.

It all depends on how you raise them, and Z got 'im when he was about 14 (dog years) old. Trooper has been nothing but a good dog ever since... He's a spaz, but he's a cool MF, and he kicked my ass yesterday on that W.A.L.K. My friggen calfs are still burnin'.

I can't give you any dog advice as I have two spazzy cats, but if you wanna talk dog shit, you know my mobile number you drunkard.

Trooper is a great guard dog and a great friend! By most people's standards he would be labeled as a racist. He's not, he just doesn't like liberals...

Who does?

BTW, here is where we got Wolf (aka Erik von Wolfgang) from. I am kind of surprised to find them still there after all these years.

Wolfie was actually a returned item (that's a story in and of itself), and Dad got him because they were out of their "regular" puppies and wouldn't have any available for a while. Bargain basement half-breed doglike being was not an altogether terrific substitution, but he turned into a pretty good family member in the long run.

As Troopers Papa, I can honestly say he is a handful, but I love him like a son. He a spoiled little shit and just had a scoop of dry Beniful with steak, rice, and chicken and gravy. I still haven't had anything since lunch. We take care of our own though. he eats before me most nights. Not that i'm poor or anything. Just B.O.D and tired. Z out.......
