I don't blame her a bit! If I am not starving, I simply am not in any particular
hurry to get out in that kind of weather. I did hunt one day in 0 degrees, up here in Montana, one year. Like I said I did hunt "One" day.... A friend of mine brought his Girlfriend hunting, in Florida one time, and it was about 38-40 degrees, and heavy dew. So I took the big garbage bag, "I" was going to use , and cut head, and arm holes in it, and she stayed dry, while my Buddy and I got soaked! She had wet pant legs, and feet, but she never complained once! I was impressed! She never went again, but never complained!
Well just think of work, as proof that you are alive, and evaded the cold fingers of death, and revel in it. Even if it is at work, any day above ground is a good day! Take care, and tell you wife, if the weather is good, you would appreciate her companionship in the tree stand, and she can even bring a book. Just no wine, or chocolate. Tell her she can bring Vanilla wafers though.
Tell her you will try not disturb her reading till the Buck is in close range, then you will hold her book, with your finger in between the pages she was reading, while she shoots the deer, and then you will give her book back, and go get the deer.
Oh tell her a couple of sandwiches would be nice also......and maybe a beer or two to wash them down after the hunt.
Glad that you are back in place, and feeling better. A Friend of mine had a stint put in, and he and his wife were going up some stairs, in a building down town, and he stopped at the top, and turned to her, and said, look, I am not even breathing hard, and i didn't have to stop to catch my breath! it makes a difference. Just keep an eye on it, and don't go trying out for the Olympics.
