Top_Heavy's World

I have been busy exploring "normal life"; family time, honey-do's, large work schedule and eveyday business that fills most people's days. I tried this lifestyle for the past 6 months or so and I have found I don't like it. I am a serious "Red" or "Achiever" type of person, so a day with out accomplishing something special is a wasted day. I have recently decided to step back into being ME and I must tell you, I am much happier this way. I will not apologize for knocking anyone else's style, it just isn't MINE. We all need to find what works and run or walk or accept... do what fits you and hold on, because if you have followed me in the past, you know I don't walk much.
I started a serious butt bustiing work out regimine last spring and I am still hard at it. Up and in the gym by 5:00 am has done miracles for my blood numbers and cholesterol as well as my overall appearance and shoulder width! I must admit, holding 70 lb draw is a much more comfortable undertaking than it had become over the past few years as well. I am going into a bulk phase so I might be sluggish and complaining come shotgun season, but I really want that 400 lb bench by Feb.
My kids, the best gifts from God I could have ever dreamed of, are all getting big. The baby decided to "potty train" 2 weeks ago and went from diapers to underwear over night and hasn't had an accident since. I am starting to think he has my intense focus?! I guess I am just letting you know I have a normal life and when I write about dialy hunts and incredible numbers of hours in a tree, I want you to remember that.
Work has been extreme, I am the Operations Director for a large environmental company and the hours are long. We run up to 70 guys when busy and about 20 when not... the issues and involvement of 20 people is pretty crazy but organization seems to be my strength. I am lucky to have a group of employers that allow me so much freedom in my schedule to hunt as much as I do. Again, remember I work over 40 hours per week, every week, even during hunting season.
I will be hunting Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and perhaps New Mexico this year. Urban and rural hunts and with every legal method possible. The year is looking great (fairly easy to say being that it has started and I have killed 8 deer so far!) so I will have lots of stories to share as the days melt away!
Thanks for being here and stick around, the gettin' is just starting!
