Scott's Story

For those who remember me, know Hedrick really REALLY didn't work out for me. Once removed, things changed. I'm now and have been for some time an S.E., (structural engineer), some examples of my work would be Pier 1 stores, where I helped on concept and the design is totally mine (yes, you're perfectly safe going into one), large Churches, sports complexes, etc. Married, 2 daughters and a son. The picture I chose is my bestest bud, Gilby only second to my wife (she disputs that order of importance). Other things of interest was learning to fly. Loved it, even went so far as to seriously price aircraft. Didn't take too long after adding up not only the cost of the craft but the annual inspection, hanger fees, insurance, that I needed another game plan. Homebuilt seemed the ticket, at 1/4 the cost it seemed do able. I found a company in Neb that built the BD5, a 1 seater. I was ready untill....wife: Can we all ride in it?" Uhm, no. wife: Then what good is it?" It goes real fast!! Sooo, I settled for a flying club where you time share....that lost its luster real fast. Also took-up martial arts, doing ok till an idiot who I was sparing with, tried to kick me in the head and broke my wrist from blocking his kick (I know, who's the idiot?)...it was supposed to be no contact...anyway, after my wrist healed it didn't seem like so much fun anymore. Hunted allot, till one day I realized I was more consumed by the woods and critters themselves then the hunting of them. I guess the day ...Expand for more
it happened was when I was slow stalking with my bow. Happened upon an acorn tree and climbed it to get a better vantage point. I whiled away the time watching a chipmunk stash acorns under a dead fall when I noticed a doe coming up the trail with a yearling fawn in tow. They both started to browse the acorns when the doe found the chipmunks stash and started eating them. That chipmunk came out of the brush pile onto a limb on the dead fall, got right up in the does face and raised all kinds of begebers. She stepped back, ears straight up, I laughed (not good), and she left with fawn in tow. Many experiences after that, and I feel richer for them. I've toyed with the idea that if I ever got the urge to hunt again, I'd do it with a paint-ball gun. If you ever happen to pass through Mt Pleasant, IA., stop at Tazza Bellas (coffee shop) on the square and tell the girls to text me, if I can I'll come up. Short story on Tazza, one evening my wife came home and said Tazza was for sale and she sorta found it unique. I, of course sorta nodded (as good husbands often do), as I had never been in there before and had no clue as to what she was talking about. Two weeks later she comes home and says she bought it. Okaaayyy, the upside is there is life beyond Folgers (Starbucks blows). The downside (if you can call it that) is I'm always roasting/trying new blends...why is it the older one gets, the busier life becomes? Hope everyone has had a good one, everyday counts for something...later.
