That was of course until I started driving with my girlfriends kids . They are everywhere. Asking this and that. Getting into things they shouldnt. Feet on the dash, hands grabbing at things in the others hands.
    Two words: Mini. Van. Seperation between the kids is worth their individualistic weight in gold.

    On to the animal problem. In the past month I have seen more deer jump out in front of me than I used to see while I was actually out in the woods hunting for them. Now I'd just like to make it home without planting one on my hood.

    Total for March
    1 deer hit
    4 four nearly hit
    6 deer that clearly wanted to go but was smart enough to let the lead deer take all the risks.
    1 poor squirrel that was not so smart

    Lessons learned. When one runs out in front of you, count to 3 and you will usually see a couple more running right behind.
    Yup! My first deer incident was 1/1/84. We saw a deer pause on the crest of the road ahead of us, then disappear into the brush on the other side of the road as our car headed towards it. How cute! Next thing we know we're engulfed in deer! I was lucky only to hit one of them! Leson learned: when you see one deer, you'll probably encounter more!
    From that time, I've only hit one more deer to date (going at about 30mph at that!), however I too have had many close calls.

        A few years back, my dad hit a dear. It was on the median of the highway, must have gotten there during lower periods of traffic. It for some reason decided to try to cross the road and it jumped when my dad hit it. It went flying up into the air and landed on the side of road. It flew over 2 lanes of traffic.

        Damage was not too bad, the car was able to run fine. Had to get a replaced hood, front grill, and radiator. We were lucky.

            Now, deer are overpopulating the ir habitats and becoming a menace.
            Deer makes good meat if you fry it's cuts with beer. Especially yummy if you eat potatoes with them. One of the few meat types which I enjoy eating, actually.

            EDIT: Wait... I meant reindeers, not sure about the taste of normal deer meat.

              I've had dear in a restaurant but it was farm raised so it didn't have the full wild flavor if you know what I mean. I'd like to go hunting one of these days and kill a few cute little forest critters.

                      Wtf are you talking about more responsible. They have kids which means more responsibilites. Women without kids are just more Fuc**** available and dont have to run out on you senseless clods that cant handle the fact that your not fuc**** number one in her life

                        Mrs. T my groin is f'ed up again. Not a pull but it just seems like it's gonna give out. I'm hitting that machine you see all the girls do at the gym to try and strengthen it up.

                                I think what happened is that I've overtrained my quads on my outer thigh, so they are way stronger than my inner thigh. Now that I'm doing lower squats, the inner thigh (mostly groin) is getting hit much harder than before so I don't think it is strong or flexible enough yet to handle that amount of weight, so it just gets really sore, sort of a very very minor pull that has potential to get worse, so I back off for safety sake.

                                I think what I'm gonna do is back off for a couple of weeks on squats and give that adductor inner thigh machine some time to stretch and strengthen the groin muscle before moving up the weight.

                                I can do waaaaaayyy more weight than I'm doing but the groin is holding the whole thing back. Very frustrating!!!

                                The ass is in world champion shape though.
