CABIN SEASON 2009

Last weekend I had the distinct pleasure of accompanying my two favorite full blooded nephews to our cabin at Ferron Reservoir. The cabin had wintered well as we had not been able to get to it since last October. We cleaned it up, got all the appliances working, hauled a load of fire wood, and assembled some new outdoor furniture. It is now ready to be used throughout
the season by everybody except Oil Can.

Spike loves Ferron and was anxious to take his first Ferron swim of the season.

Wolf tries out some of the new deck furniture we assembled.

Wolf is always in a pleasant mood at the cabin.

He is a barrell of laughs and excitment.

Costanza is a very fine young man. He worked very hard loading fire wood, cooking, cleaning, fire building, mopping, and running errands. I truly feel honored to have had the priviledge of awarding him the name of CB......(Cabin Bitch) He has truly earned it.

Life in paradise. The two brothers prepare for bed. Even though we have three full size beds at the cabin, the brothers ended up sleeping together in the same bed once the lights went out and the forest creatures begin to make their nightly sounds.

Costanza grilling . CB did everything with a smile and never complained about all the bitch work he was asked to do.


Spike and Voo preparing to fish.

It was a beautiful evening at Ferron. I fished while the Cabin Troll nephews of mine stayed on the bank and taunted me. They even threw rocks at me.

Many fish were jumping.

Voo in the water. Spike waiting on the bank. No one else in sight.

Changing flies for about the 12th time.

The current population of fish at Ferron is very stupid. The trout failed to recognize my expertize as a fly fisherman and the high quality of my hand tied flies. The little bastards totally ignored me!

After two hours, 20 different flies, and 1000 casts, I finally caught a couple of trout. The nephews had long since gone back to the cabin totally disgusted with me. I brought one fish back to the cabin to show the mouthy little twirp nephews that I would never give up till I caught one. They still laughed at me and Spike. Later that night I got even. I put the trout inside the door panel on Constanz's Toyota. He should be noticing it any day now.





















AUTHOR OF THE WEEK

STEPHEN AMBROSE

I have mentioned many of Ambrose's books earlier. If you are interested at all in US history I would recommend these five books as a good place to start.

For those of you out there who don't like history or really don't like reading anything of importance there are alternatives. For example, my good friend, the Shredder, is an avid reader of certain periodicals such as the one pictured below. She seems to always be reading this magazine. She is totally hooked on it. As a matter of fact, Shredder is so absorbed in this magazine that she pays very little attention to her kids, has completely quit doing housework, seldom cooks, ignores her yard, and has a hard time remembering her husband's name. This is a good lesson for you readers that even reading should be done in moderation.

SHREDDER'S FAVORITE READING MATERIAL

YOU ASKED VOO --- VOO ANSWERED

I have had several letters asking me who my favorite female Mexican wrestler might be. It's a nobrainer. For me there is only one choice and that would be the world famous female grappler, Shellie Martiniz.


(see below)

Shellie getting pumped up for the match.

If you ever vacation in Mexico and manage to not get kidnapped or murdered, be sure to catch one of Shellie's matches.


Win or lose, Shellie always puts up a good front.

SHELLIE MARTINIZ

FAVORITE KIRK DOUGLAS MOVIE

As many of you know, I am hopelessly locked into the 50s. Kirk is one of the very few actors from that era who is still alive. He made some fantastic movies which will be featured in future blogs. Of them all, this is my favorite. If you have a favorite Kirk Douglass move, feel free to let me know.

1962


Douglass portrays a modern day cowboy who is out of sync with the 20th century. I first saw this movie in 1962 at the old Ephraim theater with my sister, Joyce, and her husband, Al. By the early 1960s the old Manti theater was closed down most of the time.

Congratulations Kristin

Unfortunately, Kristin's boss is a total ass. He will not alow her two weeks vacation or even two days vacation. The London trip had to be cancelled. In return, Kristin will receive a set of four slightly used TV trays.






















WINTER EVENT WINNERS

This past winter several of my friends and family attended a few fund raising dinners on the behalf of different conservation organizations.

PHEASANTS FOREVER FUND RAISER

Pictured above are some of the people at my table who were big winners. From the left there is Windmill Andy AKA The Wild Turk. Andy is a loyal event supporter and brings lots of fun to the table. Next to him is The Dude, a gun winning legend throughout Utah. Next to the Dude is Andy Max Cox Aka Wire Nut AKA Hurricane Andrew Aka Ace. Wire Nut happens to be one of my son in laws and is also my favorite son in law living in Utah. The two young men in front are Lane and Alex Cox. This was the first banquete for them and they both won nice prizes.

SANPETE MULE DEER FOUNDATION

Brooke Cherry AKA Fritze was the high bidder on this prize hunting knife and promptly gave it to her undeserving empoloyer for his birthday.

SPORTSMEN FOR FISH AND WILDLIFE

Our table had an amazing number of gun winners. PictureD above from left are Needles Nate, Oil Can, The Wolf, Little Martha, and The Dude. I am pretty sure that these weapons will never be fired and only used for display purposes.

SPIKE'S KNOT OF THE WEEK

(see below)

THE SANPETE FELINE RELOCATION KNOT

This is one of my all time favorite knots and at the same time very functional. It can be used most effectively as follows: First, obtain about two feet of quarter inch nylon or hemp rope. You will also need a discarded flour or grain sack. Once you have these items it is time to go to work. Take the empty sack and begin going door to door in your neighborhood asking home owners for any cats that they might have. I will guarante you that just about every home owner will gladly provide you with any and all cats that they might own. After the sack is filled with the mangy felines, it is time to secure the opening with the Sanpete Feline Relocation Knot as illustrated above.

After tying the knot, ship the entire sack on UPS to a county that is two counties away from your own. At that point have the driver release the cats. You will be doing your neighborhood, your community, and your county a great service.
