Simple pleasures

[eriktlupus]

kicking back in the boat on a warm summer evening with a cold brew, waiting for the crappie to start their nite bite

getting out of work on a friday nite and making the 2 hr run to lake michigan for a 4am start on a days trolling for salmon

edit: the first ducks coming into your dekes of the season and your dogs first retrieve of the yr to

Hey, if you're taking orders.....

Not many Girl Scouts around here.

- Thin Mints out of the freezer.

Done.

really...what's your version? currently on disc in my truck: gravedigger, iced earth, iron maiden, judas priest, pantera, testament, bal-sagoth, slayer, and more...



that's actually fine with me. i'll take four boxes of tagalogs, plz. and i'll eat them all in one sitting and make myself sick. like always.

- bull****ting on HBT. it's FTW.

Well, I'm with you on Maiden, Priest, Pantera and Testament. Got tons of Maiden and Priest, a bit of Pantera, but also Godsmack, Disturbed, Crue, Queensryche, Scorpions and Metallica (I know, that's blasphemy around here but I love it). Guess I'm a bit more old school.

Four boxes of tagalongs, check. Man, I wonder what my Madeline will win if she sells the most. We won't tell anybody she's selling cookies to a bunch or beer-brewing, beer-swilling, drucks.

- old school metallica (they REALLY suck now, tho)

- being a beer-brewing, beer-swilling druck (with proper punctuation)

Caught at my own game.

 

[flyangler18]

Done.

Word. When my wife gets home, I'll be updating the order with you.

taking a crap in your own private bathroom.

watching someone slip and fall on a banana peel.

watching the first bubbles escape an airlock.

 

[shecky]

taking a crap in your own private bathroom.

Don't take one of mine. I'm almost out.

Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week.


- my wife's ever so gentle snoring (before the full blast performance hits)

- a long, hot shower

 

[TeufelBrew]

Forgot,
Leftover turkey samich with mayo and 'Merican cheese (you know, that processed sliced stuff) on leftover homemade roll.

The sound of a beer bottle opening and the gurgle of beer poured into a glass.

 

[gratus fermentatio]

A long soak in a hot bath; the smell of freshly turned earth; the sound of a cat purring; getting a hot, wet shave from a buxom lady barber; getting wild creatures to eat from my hand; fresh snow.

 

[flyangler18]

Ooh, just thought of one! Can't believe I left this off my original list....

Line-dried sheets.

 

[Yooper]

laughing out loud with your friends

having my husband tell me I'm awesome

skating on freshly Zambone-d ice

paddling a kayak in the wilderness

making love under the stars, once mosquito season ends

 

[NJTomatoguy]

My little dog, wiggling in. she loves to sit on my lap while i'm in the recliner, woodstove blazing, beer in hand..

Moe, my bulldog, snoring and farting, so close to the fire, it smells like HOT DOG.

Hearing mom smile when I call.

The smell of apple pie, while i'm baking.

The quiet of a snowstorm.

Giving a girl the Big O. I like to please.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

- a good book

-

+1. I love to read.


Also:

-Watching my son play baseball. Seeing the look of concentration and sheer contempt of the batter in his eyes when he's pitching. He's got a hell of a game face.

 

[Borisbbadd]

Sunday mornings, before anyone else is awake...............

 

[Zymurgrafi]

thought of one today.

That first day it is warm enough to go outside without a parka, several layers of clothing, hats, boots, gloves...

The warm sun shining and only a T-shirt... pants optional

You mono-season folks will never truly appreciate the glory of a warm day.

 

[flyangler18]

Walking barefoot.

 

[Yuri_Rage]

WD40

 

[flyangler18]

WD40

Why am I not surprised?

 

[schmidtosu]

Coming home from a deployment to Afghanistan and getting to see my fiancee waiting for me in the Airport (ONE MORE WEEK TO GO!!!!!)

 

[jmulligan]

Power outages long enough to get some amorous, candlelit HWMO, but not long enough to spoil our food.

Planning a beer for someone else.

 

[DeathBrewer]

Planning a beer for someone else.

indeed. this is the shiznit.

 

[shecky]

indeed. this is the shiznit.

I take much pleasure in attempting to translate DeathBrewer. Brain calisthenics.

-The first day of summer that it's warm enough to take the Jeep top off and go for long drive.

-Every night coming home from work in the middle of the night, and having the dog meeting you at the front door, tail wagging, just happy that you are home.

It's the simple things

 

[DeathBrewer]

I take much pleasure in attempting to translate DeathBrewer. Brain calisthenics.

i have the ability of speaking in multiple extravagant and confusingly meaningless tongues. i enjoy that.

Answering the phone and hearing an excited "hi papa" from your 2 yr old granddaughter

Answering the phone and finding out that you’re going to be a grandfather.

 

[flyangler18]

Answering the phone and finding out that you’re going to be a grandfather.

Congrats Herm! That's awesome!

Thank. Just found out last week (shhhhh . . . . We’re not suppose to tell anyone yet.)
Definitely, put a huge grin on my face. I'm sure this will be the source of many more "Simple Pleasures."

 

[flyangler18]

Totally forgot about this thread - it needs a bump, dammit.

- traveling
- waking up early on a Saturday morning and knowing that it's rugby day
- playing 80 minutes of hard rugby with your body aching and lungs burning
- stepping into a trout stream in the middle of a hatch and watching the rise
- cooking, especially with the wifey
- discovering new music, like Monsters of Folk
