Work Hard, Play Hard, and Sleep Hard.... sounds like fun!

So, my life continues to be a hectic swirl leaving me very busy, happy, and content. Life up on the Range is a 24/7 vacation... fishing, hunting, shooting, mudding, horseback riding isn't just for vacation time any more, I can do those things every day... once the responsibilities are taken care of, of course. This last weekend I slept 3 and a half hours, got up, and went to the Sheep Ranch and checked fences.... I then went to work, came home early, and slept 13 hours. I woke up, went to L&M, picked up paint and a few other things, went to Kmart and picked up an outside patio bar table for my indoor kitchen table :), I went mudding with my Toyota Corolla (no I didn't get stuck), I went for a walk, I hung out with friends... then I slept 4 hours, woke up, cleaned my walls in my trailer house, cleaned the cupboards, put my table together, moved my deck to the house, and then went out fishing at a campsite I know.

Now what was so funny about my fishing methods is the question? I went out to the campsite... off shore.. with my swimsuit on because I knew it was shallow and I wanted to cast out farther. Well, my plan worked and I caught a good eater Northern. So I took the bench at the camp site, threw the bench in the water, grabbed my fillet knief, and proceeded to clean the fish while kneeling in the water. I then cleaned off the bench with water and heard some giggling coming from a boat and some guy say, "Is that a female cleaning a fish, in the lake?" Now I take it these guys were not from the Iron Range, what was so wrong with my methods? :) MEN!!!!!!!!!!!
