Bring on those Bears

What a Packer game it was last Saturday. The whooping put on the Falcons was comparable to the game I went to against the Cowboys back in November. The game it sets up against the Bears is even more interesting. Playing your biggest division rival with a chance to get to the Super Bowl sets it up to be one huge game. I can’t wait until we put those Bears in their place next Sunday.



Running:
My running streak for the year is still intact. My runs during the week are still usually only 5 miles. This past weekend I ran 10 on the treadmill on Saturday while I watched the early football game. Then on Sunday morning I ran 8.5 outside in 1:08:54. It was only in the single digits, but it was a good run. The roads were quiet and in fairly good shape. I used my new Garmin for the first time on Sunday’s run. I did notice that it registers the miles a little longer than my old one. What had been my 8.5 mile run came it at only 8.25. I’ll have to check out a few more routes to see if this is a one time thing or if I have to adjust my route mileage a bit. Half way through the month I’m close to on track for 200 in January. Through Sunday:
WTD 43.5
MTD 98.5
YTD 98.5
ODO 27380

Hunting:
It’s a good thing there was some good football on this weekend now that the hunting season is over. It takes up some of the time until I adjust to not having that activity to do on the weekend. I got all of my hunting clothes and gear reorganized and put away this past week. This weekend I actually got the garage clean since it was empty of hunting gear. I can now park one of the other cars in there over night. I haven’t been able to do that since the beginning of fall. This coming weekend I’m going to try and get out to remove my stands from the woods. Hopefully get a little scouting done too to figure out a few things for next year late season. My fix for hunting for a while will have to be some of the shows on T.V.  Each week there are several that I can record that are worth watching.  Speaking of watching something.  Here is a short PBS video on the white deer herd in northern Wisconsin.  I think you will find it interesting.

Gardening:
The garden catalogs just keep coming. I also get bombarded by e-mail from the few places I typically order from. Some of these are kind of deceiving. The recent e-mail I got from Gurney’s told me about a big sale, up to 70% off. Go to the link provided and try to find anything approaching 70% off. I only saw a couple non popular items that were on sale for that much. I guess that’s the point though. Get you to go there and order early. I’m not ready yet.
