Opening Day!!!!


Happy Friday already everyone! So is it just me, or does the week just fly by? It seems like we just finished our football game, and then I blink and I’m lined up against our next opponent. I’m being serious. I can’t believe how fast our season has gone by and especially the weeks. I just really can’t explain it. Well on a more serious note: this is a shout out to Andrew Bishop, my Madden partner. Now for a little history, Bishop and I play our share of Madden together and I have only beaten him once in my life. But I made history on Tuesday night playing with our usual teams, San Francisco for him and Dallas for me. The first game was very good with ME ON TOP 10-7. Now due to Bishop’s frustration, he wanted a rematch, so of course I agreed, and I’m proud to say I SPANKED HIM 25-7. Now for me beating him only two times before this, I’m pretty proud of this. Well this weekend is one of my most favorite weekends during the year. HUNTING SEASON BEGINS. After the game on Saturday, Abby and I will travel home so I can hunt Sunday morning and then travel back to Butte for film at 3:15. I’ve never shot anything opening day, but I will try to change that, so wish me luck. I shoot a Remington model 700, 300 ultra magnum stainless steel synthetic with a 3-9 Buckmaster Nikon scope. It shoots 3500 feet per second, and I like to call him “old reliable”. Since football cuts three weeks into hunting season and I can’t go home every time I want to hunt, I go over to my Aunt and Uncle’s in Whitehall to their house to hunt whitetails. I’ll probably start going over Monday nights after film and hunting Tuesday mornings. Now over there I shoot the old rifle I used to hunt with, my 30-06, which works perfect. This weekend before I can go hunting, we play the Rocky Mountain Bears, and we have some pay back to dish out. Last time we met, in Billings, the conditions were grueling, the temperature was roasting (around 97 degrees) and there was not a cloud in sight. Now I’m not blaming the conditions for our loss, but they were definitely a factor. But I feel like we’re in much better shape than the Rocky Bears, and the first play of our game we plan on just punching them right in the face and sending them packing. Well I’ll check back in later. Good luck to all hunters going out on Sunday!
