Be careful out there

I got this email from one of the Long Island fishing crew. It made me laugh. It seems like for most of my big trips in recent years I have come down with some sort of bug just prior to leaving. I think I’m good this year, but there is always a chance for things to go horribly wrong before a big trip. Here’s the list of things to watch out for.

Good advice, y'all.
Good advice, y’all.

Just a reminder that for the next week or so you might want to avoid:

– Moving furniture around

– Making that “one last run” down the double black diamond Widow Maker run

– Can lids, knives, glass, razor blades, other sharp objects

– Ladders

– Electricity, lightning and hail larger than a pea

– Proving the steroid-fueled, tattooed gym rats that you can lift anything they can lift (it’s nothing personal if any of you happen to be a steroid-fueled, tattooed gym rat)

– Feeding or taking food away from large carnivorous animals, small carnivorous animals, angry birds, essentially anything meaner than an earthworm

– Bicycling on roads that are still covered in traction gravel, ice or snow

– Trying that new (fill in the blank) ________ restaurant for which you got a coupon from that strange little man with the dreadlocks who was standing outside the pet store

– Large groups of elementary school aged kids

– Un-ergonomically correct body positions and movement while (a) getting your empty bag down from the storage shelf in the garage; (b) lifting and putting the soon to be filled bag which weighs 50 lbs or less into the boot of your ute; and (c) bending over and reaching for anything, even that pencil that rolled off the table, it can stay there until after our trip

Stay safe out there folks!

  1. It made me laugh too. It also made me skip my poker night last night. Those people may have germs.
