Father's Day

“Don't forget...this Sunday is Father's Day.

I love my Dad...no matter what he thinks I think of him!”

“i was gonna take my dad out in a canoe for a couple hours.. he says he wants one, but i think he will change his mind after a couple hours of paddling.
i want one. i would prefer a touring kayak, but they cost to much.”

“My dad and I used to go canoeing. He lived on a lake in Jersey before retiring and moving to FL. I should have bought his canoe, but at the time the kids were babies and it seemed like one more thing to store. Dumb!”

“my dad can beat up your dad!”

“Nahh Nah Nah Nahh Nah!”

“LOL!!!!”

“My Dad has hung up his backpack. I think turnin' 70 kinda psyced him out. But, he's still up for a long dayhike.”

“I have no one to look up to, on Father`s Day
it was some years ago, my father passed away
I wish he was still here and I miss him too
I miss the way he`d call and say, son, how are you
all in all we had some good times and a few that went bad
but, just in case he can hear me, Happy Father`s Day, Dad”

“My dad was my first backpacking partner. We decided that car camping was dumb when I was 11 and started backpacking together. I hope to go with him again some day. We have not done it for about 5 years now. It makes me sad.”

“I sent the boyfriend out to take advantage of all the Father's day sales. He has lots of new clothes now.

I have no Father or Grandfathers left now but I remember them all fondly. I was lucky--they were all really gentle gentlemen.”

“I came very close to losing my dad, in an accident, 30 years ago. Life would have been very different.

We didn't really start hiking together until just a few years ago. After a trip, he will always say "Most of my friends don't even talk to their adult sons, but I get to spend an uninterupted week with mine". He feels very fortunate and so do I.”

“Happy Fathers Day to all you guys out there. Hopefully you are spending the day with your kids or out Backpacking!!!!!!!”

“Thank You, We'll be having a family B.B.Q.”

“I got a cool Ricky Rudd (NASCAR driver) shirt.
We're taking my Dad out in a couple of days for supper. We'll prolly get him a racing shirt too.”

“MSR Pocket Rocket and Moby-Play CD. Plus my son and I took on the neighbors in wiffle ball. Gooood times.”

“My son took me to see Tomb Raider with Angelina Jolie. The news paper said you have to be a 15 year old male to enjoy this movie. Good to know I am still young at heart. Good movie, very impressive lady.”

“WHAT KIND OF A MAN ARE YOU?”

“Wudda ya wanna see, Doc, pictures?

You can check out my bare ass on the Photo Page(_!_)”

“I so understand that one

“Have you ever seen a lighthouse, ON WEED man?”

“I am making Father's Day into Mother's Day, Part II. I really don't believe in it because I am off at work while she is at home working and raising the kids. She does far more work than I do so I give it up and allow her to have 2 days all to herself.”

“umm just two days?

“WK - good call - score them brownie points and then cash them in for backcountry time when you need it. ;)”

our first was born June 10th...in all the excitement, father's day kinda got overlooked that year but (cheese warning) i got the best gift a dad could get”

“That is how I feel. I don't need anything except to be with the best gifts my wife has given me.”

“WK, I think that should be put on your tombstone. Soon.”

“didn't observe it growing up, no kids , just another day I look at as some way for a retailer to separate your money from you.”

“No enjoying fathers day this year, yet again. It'll be another cluster duck.”

“Heres to you dad.”

“hee hee hee... I'm a dad.”

“....and it's never over...mooohahahahahaha.

Seriously, it's a great trip. I just got off the phone with my 32 year old son who just moved to San Diego. The only regret I have is not being able to do it all over.”

“Dads are cool.”

“It certainly is cool. I catch myself misting up at the darndest times. It really hits me in little increments. It really is an awesome time. I haven't been this tired since my rangerin days in the army 15 years ago.”

“didn't observe it growing up, no kids , just another day I look at as some way for a retailer to separate your money from you.

Sellebration again, Gawd bless the consumer.”

“I got 2 and a half yards of mulch for Fathers Day!





oh, and a really cool Case knife and a bunch of love from my wife and daughter.

Not only does the yard look much better, I feel good!”

“........ and you said 'Thank-you verry mulch.'”

“I couldn't have asked for a better Father's Day. Nothing fancy. Went out to breakfast with the wife and kids. Went for a hike with my son. Went swimming with wife and kids. Back home were everyone took a nap, then to a family members house for a cook out with friends and family where the kids swam some more and the adults play ladder ball.”

“I brought my wife & daughter home from the hospital.”

“...you win ;)”

“I was a little slow on the uptake with thrifty's June 10 date. I was trying to subtract 6 weeks from FAthers Day, but that's not when that baby was born. My bad.”

“i'm confused by your confusion ;)”

“What is allowed to happen 6 weeks after the birth of a baby? I'm typing as slowly as I can.”

“gigidy gigidy”

“You said you got the best gift a dad could get.”

“Fri was a wash, rained
sat was relaxing
sun breakfast turned into a p!ssy fight between children
then it rained so hard, we ended up having to take care of the floods in the basement.


ended the day in bed drinking beer and watching the Three Stoogies (the highlight of the weekend)



but tree liked his present so all is well”
