Well, i think about TRAPPING, fix traps, buy more traps, fish, mountain bike checking new areas out, attend trapping rondezvous, grow and show   gladiolus  at  flower shows.  Weed garden.   Graft new apple variaties on my apple trees.

I'm going to fish the PWT walleye tournament in Mobridge S.D on Lake Oahe in late May.I'll spend most of the month of June fishing Lake Sakakwea in N.D. Then June 28th through July 11th my father and I will be fishing Lac Seul in Ontario.I might have to go back to Oahe in July and then in October.

Cut wood, catch fish, grow vegetables and go to garage sales to find stuff to resell.

I like to work as little as possible!!LOL I like hitting the  rummage sales, Knocking on doors to gain trapping access, Metal detecting for TREASURES!! Helping out friends with remodeling projects, Trying to find ways that i can work for 8 months and have 4 to devote to my passion of trapping!! That would be the life for me!!!

To many things!
I metal detect, metal detect while diving, fish, swim, hang out at the lake, basically run around going nuts. I like to do to many things.
Right now our Dive rescue unit is having a new boat built, and I'm supervising that project. We also have a new truck coming on line to pull the boat. So I've been busy, at least mentally, getting everything lined up equipment wise. I'm glad I don't have to worry to much about the paper work part of the project.
Then there is all the around home stuff everyone has to take care of during summer.

Congrats Blakdog     The first afternoon with my new detector i found a 1957 silver quarter,1943 Mercury dime in uncirculated condition and an old ornate gilt button.
    I have 2 more days of work then 8 days off.Then I'm going through all my traps and equipment.I sold off a bunch of traps and I don't know what I have left.

Coyotero nice finds for the 1st trip out! I bet that it built a LOT of confidence in the new detector!! Still trying the figure out all the little sound variances! But i'm getting better at knowing what is worth digging and what is trash! I now know that a quick double bleep is a coin standing on end! Its the little things that keep it intresting!!
