Doing something different today…going with Mitch to the Business and New Products show in SLC. Taking Tracks for the first time. It should be a good day!
Went to the big city and walked through an amazing display of stuff for sale. Biking stuff, hiking stuff, walking stuff, running stuff, sleeping stuff, stuffing stuff, gloves, hats, colorful socks, snowboards, kids sliding things, backpacks, water bottles, quick energy foods and candies, shoes, coats, scarves, knives, ice picks and climbing equipment, head lights, instant heat hand warmer thingys, surfing boards (why in SLC?), tents, a small camp trailer that could be pulled by a compact car, cold weather suits, ultra high altitude air masks, goggles, sun glasses, skin tight (this is all you need to wear) all weather clothing, keep your stuff dry, bags, cases and spray on stuff, and there was more, and more, and more, and more.
So, here we are wandering around seeing all this stuff and there is way too much stuff to be able to see all the stuff there is there, mostly because it is all covered up with more stuff that they wanted you to see. When suddenly this very shapely woman wearing an all black skin tight whatever and hands me and Mitch each a card inviting us to an all you can drink beer happening at their booth beginning at 3:30 this afternoon…like right now…as I am typing this. Well, you have probably figured out that Mitch got me out of town before that happening.
We took the Front Runner down and of course the trax while in town and it was a great event for a Bears Butt…just sort of wish we could have had a free beer or two and hung out with….well…that one woman. Oh well, it’s just as well I’m home right now.

It was in todays Ogden Standard Examiner, that the best equipment at the show was something Mitch and I laughed about. An emergency inflatable air bag that deployed from a backpack in case you were caught in an avalanche…the sign said, “to assist you in not being completely buried”….
We felt, that only a crazy person would be in a position to get caught in an avalanche in the first place.
Congratulations to that company!
People from 27 different countries have hit this site! Most have not stayed long, probably because they could not understand English, but still…were they looking for something more exciting? What could be more exciting than Bears Butt’s ramblings? I say..nothing!
Today, Sher and I are taking a little road trip this morning and then coming back to enjoy an afternoon of fun filled computer updating. When was the last time you “updated” with your spouse?

Hey! I just looked at some stats, whatever that means. Yesterday I heard that statistics are things that get thrown out at people and nobody can argue that they are right or wrong and that only people who use them against or for something do it because they are in a corner and can’t logically get themselves out of.
That actually makes some sense. But in this case it’s MY website! HEY YOU!
READER! YA! YOU!!!! if you have read this far…keep digging deeper into this blog site. There is something here for YOU!
Do you like to tie knots? There is a great website mentioned on here about that subject! Do you like to read hunting stories? Tons of those on here!
What about fishing? YA…got you hooked there too. Just look around!
Mountain man stories! A really great set of those on here! And don’t forget to check out the mountain man lingo category.
POEMS? Poems are not for guys! But…don’t underestimate a poem about “Pickled Pigs Feet!” It’s probably the ONLY one ever to be written and it was by ME! Read it.
Thanks for coming on this site and visiting! I hope you put it into your favorites and visit often! I wish I could see your face.
Later Dude or Dudeette!

As an FYI to my faithful visitors on this site. I am in partnership with my lovely wife and together we are setting up a Zundel family website that is beginning to take on a very nice look. You can see it at
http://www.abrahamzundel.info/
A fun thing to be doing to help get all the relatives on the same page. What we are seeing on others blog pages is mis-information about the family. You know, the typical, husband so and so and wife so and so had X children, named, blah, blutz and cuz. And of course they have the wrong dad and mom with the wrong kids.
We are perfect, so our word is the real word, and to quote a good friend and cousin of mine…”just sayin”.

The UWC wanted to have the opportunity to expose some children to ice fishing and GrandpaD and Adam were kind enough to allow us to bring these kids along and expose them to something that they may have never had the opportunity to experience before.
The future of outdoor sporting depends on the rising generations and we are so excited to have the opportunity to take 40 kids out for their first ice fishing trip! We are excited to give these kids the opportunity to try something new, enrich their lives and share our passion for the outdoors with them, but we need help!
We are currently looking for volunteers as well as donors for this event and are relying on our community of friends and family to make this a once in a lifetime experience for these great kids.
We are looking for the following:
-Ice fishing gear. Rods, reels, lures , tents, buckets, camp chairs, fish finders and everything in between.
-$Money$. We don’t need a ton of money, but won’t turn down a dime. All funds will be earmarked specifically for this event and future youth events. No amount is too small and will go a long way! (see link below ***)
-Clothing. Any and all kids warm weather clothing is needed. We’d like to see this event several hundred strong in years to come, so a surplus of toasty winter clothes will be an awesome asset! But we are currently in need of boots, pants, coats, gloves and hats for the kids to wear.
-Volunteers. We will need adults who know what they are doing to show these kids the ropes. If you’ve got the time, we’ve got the kids!
-Pass it on! Please let your friends, relatives and neighbors (Even if relatives and neighbors aren’t actually “friends ) know of what we are doing. Please post this on your facebook and other social networks, feel free to put my information and the UWC facebook link on there.
