Camping again this weekend! We are bringing fishing poles. Last night my dad told me the easy way to prep a fish and eat it. So I'm going to catch, kill, and cook my own meal, fuck yeah! This will be a first for me. I expect it's going to be a little icky, but it's also the most ethical way to eat meat if I'm going to. Besides, it's also going to be the realest way to eat meat, too - not to mention the freshest. I'm excited.

The campsite's near the beach so I'll be at the beach all day one day, then we are going kayaking, and probably some hiking as well.

I'll be back Sunday, but then on Wednesday next week I am leaving my fair state to head to first Pittsburgh and then TN to visit first a friend, and second my cousins, for about a week.

Things are very busy.

Any skiers in Pitts or around Clarksville, TN, let me know! Neither my friend or cousin has gotten back to me about what our plans are. (Maybe they're both flaking. Honestly, if they are...that's ok. I'll either use the vacation for something else, or have adventures on my own instead of driving 16 hours to TN without AC. While I'm looking forward to the trip, I could certainly use that vacation elsewhere in the year if this last-minute doesn't plan out - and since it's a road trip, I'm not out any cash if it falls apart. Besides, then I don't have to find out what it's like to spend 16 hours in a car with my 21yo sister!)

Could go either way, folx. But the short story is it's been hella busy around here for me. But it's good.

Here, Hubski, I drew you a tree. It's possible my road trip friends are bailing on me. I hit both up on Monday to coalesce plans and neither have gotten back to me, yet both have clearly been online and on mobile thanks to their copious Facebook posts.

To be honest, I don't think I'd mind that much.

That's a prettily-drawn tree.

Not to sound like I'm casting doubt or anything on your fishing abilities but make sure you bring a back up meal should the fish thing not work out. Sometimes they just don't bite but good luck :)

Oh, absolutely will!

Good luck fishing! I'm not sure how much you have fished, but catfish and bluegill are hardly worth the effort if you are eating them. If it's a lake, try a lure to optimize for bass. If it's a river, grasshoppers are fantastic for trout.

That, good sir, depends on the catfish.

Flavor, sure. I just mean from a cleaning perspective. Those barbs fucking hurt.

Have you ever been stuck by one? It feels like an electric fork.
