I hope people aren't freaking out over this Mayan calendar thing, last weekend and this entire week has been sad enough. Life will go on, I'll be stuck in the mall Saturday doing all my last minute shopping....

speaking of shopping, i'd like to make it at least to boxing day.

started seeing some flyers for the big box pet stores in town for boxing day sales... looking pretty ridiculous!

I'll bet there will be some Mayans there!

FWIW, the calendar runs out in about 26hrs and 20mins, so ... Get 'Er Done :mrgreen:

New fishing rod coming right up!

:question:

I'm sure Bass pro shop has a sale on fishing rods and ice augers:biggrin:

Ahh, Ice fishing ... what fond memories
I remember when that was fun with my Dad and Grandpa, and some cousins. Out on the ice @ 5:30 am with no tent, freezing my toes and other useful extremities off, snickers bar freezes in outer pocket ... Oh look, I got the first trout of the morning, I get a quarter. Hours later go back to the cabin for lunch and a nap, then drink a bunch and go back out for some afternoon fishing.
Finally ending the night with fish cleaning, dinner, playing cards and drinking until 8 or 9
Up @ 4am and do it all over again
One weekend of that is enough for one year. I can't imagine doing that for actual food :smile:

Aw geez, it appears the planets won't even line up tomorrow
So much for a planet alignment to signal the end of the world
Guess we'll have to rely on some other unforseen extinction event

Food? You mean you can eat them!
