Weather has me nuts

This weather is driving me crazy. Every time I'm off and can go out for spring turkey or shoot, its raining.I had 2jakes in front of me the first Monday but left them walk. I still haven't shot the new Hawken, I have to re-sight in the Genesis after putting the Prostaff scope back on, I have a 45-70 I need to sight in after installing a new scope.
I casted a couple hundred REAL bullets last week in my garage with the garage door open and a fan on while it was raining. At least I got that out of the way (now they need to be lubed).
Then on top of that, I have a new bow that needs to be shot a couple hundred times to get the string fully stretched befor my fall bison hunt.
Just so much to do.

I Love Turkey hunting in the rain. How do you like that Pro-Staff scope?

TRANSLATION: My wife is driving me crazy. Every time I'm off and can go out for spring turkey or shoot she comes up with a bunch of honey-dos. I still haven't finished painting the bath room and already she's talking about the kitchen. I barely get finished vacuuming the house and it's "wash the dishes" or "do the laundry". I had to get up at 2 a.m. and sneak to the garage to cast some REALs. Man, I was afraid she would catch me but luckily I was able to finish and hide all of the equipment before she woke up. I have a new bow that needs to be broken in.I'm going to try to get in a few shots behind the WinnDixie when I do the grocery shopping this afternoon.

Spoken like a real (married)man.

Well Semi that may have been true many moons ago but being that I've been married for going on 36 years she knows I ain't going to change. I usually do what I want when it comes to shooting, hunting etc. And, when I was younger, I would be out hunting in all kinds of weather. But now that I am older (and saner), I usually wait for the weather to cooperate. I don't mind hunting in cold or snow, but these old bones are beginning to dislike the rain.
I am going to try to get out before work this week but it is supposed to rain every day until Sunday. And BTW - how the heck didyou know the wife was planning to repaint the entire downstairs.....[:@]. And as for the cooking and the laundry, I work til 3:00 and the sweetie works til 6:00 so if I want to eat, have clean clothes, I better do it myself. Otherwise she will be too tired for.....well you know...

Well congratulations - Your wife must be as much a saint as mine for putting up with us.

The weather has been crappy here in Arkansas as well, this past week we have had 6 inches of rain. Our eyeballs are floating around here.
