Life out here on the east coast has been good so far. Summer arrived over night and the days have been hovering around 20-23 with cool nights which is always great.
Here's a little story I'm sure you'll appreciate due to your love of fishing/outdoors...
So we live about 15 minutes from a small town in New Brunswick and on just over 100 acres of land. At the bottom of our property is a really cute river that the locals fish for trout in. There are lots of trees to give dappled shade on a hot day and the banks back up to the road are steep so not many people venture down. At the end of last week our neighbour and friend Matt really needed some down time. His house is filled with women (wife, 2 daughters and a niece) all living with him and all talking his ear off 24/7 !
Poor Matt decided that the peace and quiet of the river was exactly what he needed so he decided to wander down the hill and get away from it all. Matt packed up his rod and tackle box, added a few necessities (beer) and headed off for some "boy time".The sun was shining, the bugs have yet to arrive in full force and the birds were singing in the trees. It was just what he needed.
After a couple of hours and not a fish in sight, he packed up the gear and started to walk along the river bank to the road so he wouldn't have to climb the steep bank. He strolled along without a care in the world but as he rounded the corner he saw a small black fluff ball playing at the waters edge..."Oh shit" was the first thing through his mind so he very quietly turned and walked back the way he came. After walking for a while and not hearing anything he glanced back over his shoulder just in time to see that the bear cub had followed him at a distance. Now the the only thing Matt thought was "oh f**k".
The moment Matt saw the cub it let out a cry and as if by magic Mama could be heard crashing though the bush towards them.
Matt (who has a very bad leg from a loader accident and has a hard time even walking) launched himself 4 ft in the air and hid behind a thorny bush praying the bear wouldn't see him.Luckily Mama bear only saw her cub and left Matt to sit in the bushes until both Mom and cub were long done.
Well the story ends with Matt having to pull thorns out of his bum for the remainder of the day BUT the moral of the story is...
Females are everywhere, you can't get away from us and one way or another, somehow we end up being a pain in the ass!
True story!
