CABELAS, and a near disaster.

I finally got to go to Cabelas in February.... twice in fact.  Once on our way out to Ft. Knox, Kentucky, and then again on our way back home.  Was it worth the wait?  You betcha!  My husband spent way too much money there... and I let him!  Mostly because he bought me a window mount for my camera and some those really cool shot glasses I've been nagging him about for years.  So yes, I'm a happy camper at last!

I smell like elk sausage right now.  I smell good actually, its smoked summer sausage.  Mmmmmm.  We have 4 left of our orininal 28 sticks.  We have to get rid of them like NOW!  Want some?  I went out to the garage to get some burger from the freezer and discovered to my horror that the freezer chest had been unplugged.  It probably happened on Sunday when we had the extention cord running through for the power  washer.  Fortunately everything on the lower level was still frozen solid, but the two tubs we had on the top, and the last of our elk sausage, was thawed and we have to use it tonight or waste it... its too thawed to refreeze safely.  All I can say is... thank goodness I discovered it today, while it was still salvagable.  Can you imagine the mess I would have had later on in the week?

I too was on the way to Ft Knox to sign in and had to utilize the facilities when lo and behold!  A Cabela's (Hamburg, PA) magically appeared.  My wife and four year old were sleeping so I pulled into their parking lot.  When my wife awoke, she saw the big CABELA'S sign and raised her eyebrow in question (I wonder how wives can raise an eyebrow in question and still glare at the same time).  I told her that I simply had to go to the bathroom and that this was the first available exit.  Besides, I have always been impressed with a clean latrine and Cabela's gets four stars in my book o' potties... She didn't buy it but went in with me anyway.  I wound up buying a piece of clothing for everyone but me (I bought Hornaday ammo for my new toy instead).  I go absolutely APE crap in there normally so I restrained myself this time (a world record if I do say so myself).  I refrained from buying the deer and bear poo chocolate too.  Darn it!
