the 80 20 rule

As I have grown up, I have come to understand just how well that my parents raised me. One way I have recognized this is the way that I go about my day. I actually pay attention to my surroundings. My wife and i call this the 80 20 rule, I'll explain. Before we were married, me and my wife went to Yellowstone National Park where i proposed to her, but thats for another blog. Anyway, while we where there we noticed that 99% of the people just walked around with disregard for there fellow humans, i.e. not paying a-$%#@ing-tenion or not careing, and running into people and letting their little rugrats run over retirees. the wife and I kept having to avoid go around and refrain from tripping these people and their heathens. We came to the conclution that in public places 80% of people 80% of the time are not paying attention(some people never). therefor it corelates that the rest of us considerate people lapse about 20% of the time,embarrassingly, and return to our vigelence.

Yes i know, I am venting but i cant help it. I am my fathers son.

saltlick BBQ

finally went to the saltlick in driftwood texas. BBQ good! Sauce is good on everything and is mustard influenced which is unique. ribs where good also brisket. Sausage seemed not to be homemade which disappointed me. All in all #2 on my list of best bbq places behind Oklahoma Joes in Kansas City.

mans oldest profession

I think most of us understand what some people call the oldest profession but to me the oldest profession hunting. When the first living thing first started its journey for life it also started its drive to provide sustenance for itself. literally the "fruit of life" all its needs to survive. As living things became more complex, the hunt did as well. we as humans, the most complex life from we know of, still hunt today. Our sustenance can be far different than our animal cousins. we yearn for companionship, love, success, dominance, power, food , water, shelter, warmth, money, houses, cars, vacations, boats, shoes. That's why i like to get to basics some times. Me, two sticks and a piece of string searching for dinner.

Dogs

The other day me and my wife had just walked the dog about 10 or 12 blocks, once we got home we decided to give him a treat. naturaly the dog has to sit in order to recieve the treat so after a few trys he does and snatches his treat from my wife. in responce my wife talked for the dog, the puppy just said "stop playing around and give me my beefstick bitch!" my wife exclaimed, witch caused a chuckle out of us for a few seconds. But this just left me with more questions. Is it natural for humans to speak for those who cant for themselves? I have observed that parents do this often to their children. you remember, being talked about and for by your parents while you are in the same room. Its funny to me. I can see why a dog whould need someone to speak for it(although some can speak on command!) and how a baby would need someone but as a parent where would i draw the line? How old would my child have to be before i let them speak for themselves? before i look to them when someone asks me about them? would i be afraid of what they might say? Will i make my child seen but not heard or will they make monkey noises and throw poo? Lord i dont know!

Kona brewing companies beer

Ok so me and my wife went to sams club so get our wholesale on and i came across a mixed pack of beer by kona brewing company. the brewery is out of hawaii so it peaked my interest and i bought it. So far the longboard beer from this brewery is very good. i like the smoothness of it and it could be a good anytime drinker. the other beer in the pack is called fire ale. it is an IPA which i have not been found of in the past. it have a very malty earthy flavor but it is a little over powering. in my opinion it is good for a time but not something that i would want to keep stocked in my fridge.

Beer

It is no secret that i like beer. i will blog from time to time about the beer that i am experimenting with at the time. because........... it sounds like fun!

Lets get it out of the way.

For those who don't know, it is much harder to shoot a small target. That being said, most smaller animals are not as jumpy are large game animals. So putting two and two together. Which is easier to kill with a bow? a deer at 30 yards or a rabbit at 20? In my small hunting experience i have found that the rabbit at 20 yards is easier. That's why the name is John the Small Game Annihilator.
