You don't have to make the kids yourself, just raise them. That will keep you busy.

WOW!!!
Bored. I am so GD busy it's crazy. Working about 60 hours a week. Been interviewing as I hate my boss. Heating completely with wood so I am hauling wheelbarrows of wood into the house twice a day. Shoveling the never ending snow. Installed a wood stove in the garage so I can keep the diesel tractor warm enough to start at -10 degrees. Taking the dogs out as my wife had an ACL repaired in her right knee 2 weeks ago and can't walk well enough yet. Bored. I WISH I was bored. |
what happened to hockey Mike??
try skiing or snowboarding.....I just did Loon today, skied from 8 till 1 perfect conditions and the place was empty |
do some research
on What? Southern lakes that have cabin rentals, boats, and striped bass in the lakes... a whole new challenge,,,
there is nothing that makes winter shorter than some time away from it.... it gives you the stamina and patience you need til MAY |

I always say if your in New England find a winter hobby embrace it! Last winter "renewed my spirit" for my winter hobby and this year is shaping up to be just as good! So far I feel like winter has just BEGUN...yet many are saying how long its been! just a matter of perception really.
One way or another get out there and enjoy the beauty on winter can offer! |
Nice pics Jenn I need to upload some of mine from last weekend,.
|
going this weekend, sounds like there's some good riding up there right now
|
I second the take up skiing,,snow boarding ,,snow mobiles ... however deep your pockets are ... Take your honey to some nice resort ,, Something about being on the top of a mountain ,,in the middle of winter .. with boards strapped on your feet ..
|
Sit on your hand ontil it falls asleep then do the deed , stranger sex! Seriously, I find being a member of a fishing club helps, there is always something to do to help out in the off season, or go to the Rainbow Bend resort in Islamorada FL, where you get a 13' whaler along with your room..

ORRRRR could this be,,,,,,,,,,,,,
the beginning of THE Cup's
~~~~~~~~~~~~Angler of the Year Curse~~~~~~~~~~~~ where life has KNOW meaning unless attached to a "SuperCow", winter holdovers and ice fishing for the lesser species seems moot, snowboarding/skiing/mountain resorting ~ALL~ of it pales by comparison, so WON must be resigned to drowning in one's own beeers, and chained to one's own fears of how do i top/repeat THAT???? or in the infamous lyrics of Dianna Ross and the Supremes,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,"when will i SEA her again?",,,,,,,,,and from the same song ,,,,,,,,,"will i have to suffer and cry the whole NIGHT thru?",,,,,,,,, ahhhhh FAME, she IS a cruel and soul stealing BEEEOTCH!!! :bl: :wall: :1poke: :wall: :bl: |
This winter SUCKS but I have been super busy coaching my daughters B-ball team plus bringing my son to hockey and b-ball 3 times a week really helps take the edge off. The good thing is that work is super busy so that also east up time until fishing season.
I do have some winter projects I would like to finish but because of the busy schedule there may not be enough time to get it all done. I think Redlight should write a book about the past fishing season.....I know I would read that book!! If you cant write a book create a blog!! |

Boy do I agree. Go back to grad school Mike. I haven't even thought about fishing in a month :crying::crying: |
Mike - I'm flat out - how about I give you a ton of my sh!et to clean?

Redlite, since you don't fish plugs, take up rod building. Build yourself a nice stick for next year. |
Some great ideas floatin in....good to see how some of the regular posters pass the time.......I got all the rods and then some that I'll ever need (plus don't wanna take work away from my rod builder Backbeach)......1st graders know more about computers than I do........I've skied for the better part of my life, tried snowbaording 2 yrs ago and know that I am NOT a snow boarder, but the knees are pretty bad and skiin ain't so good for them.....been playing hockey 3 times a week though to keep the beer gut off.........I may give holdovers a shot, but I got to find a suitable reel that actually works..I'd take the wife away, but one of us has gotta work and make the money.....Grad school????Huh. Took me 5 yrs just to get the 1st degree.....I think I am just over all lacking motivation.....Looks like a nice day out today. Think I'll huff and puff and blow the snow tube and go hit the white hills for a while.......Maybe I'll shave that way I look like a 12 year old again......soccer moms beware.......

looking forward to ice fishing every weekend has been the ticket in my case, making sure gear is working, hooks are sharp. the fishing is half of it, making the food is the big thing for me. burn some calories thru out the day, and chow down. Plus if you get a few buddies to go with you it can be a pretty fun day out. Me, I enjoy being alone on a frozen pond with nobody bothering me, but I gotta be social on occasions, during the winter anyways.

Come to rhody for a haircut and a happy ending

that's too bad your bored Mike, you're lucky you have time on your hands.It can't be too hard to find stuff to do to stimulate your short attention span ;). Babysit backbeaches kids, good idea, or do some volunteering.

take up jenns idea and go on some hikes... all you really need is a pair of nice hiking boots and some warm non cotton clothes and your good to go. we live in such a beautiful area... all it takes is really a drive to the berkshires or the appalacians or VT, NH... or the adirondacks... which is amazing this time of the year. being outdoors is prolly your best bet for getting rid of that cabin fever

I know of a few more nights you skate if you want.
