This BOY is going to be difficult... I can just tell.....
He won't go for a walk on a nice day SOOOOO I suggested he re-dye his traps with the old faithful "SPEED DIP" .......... the boil method from his past didn't work. With Speed Dip you mix gas and this tar looking stuff then dip & hang to dry.....
"OKAY.... I guess I can do that......." he says sounding none to enthusiastic. "I could just do it on the deck of the shack......." "NOT!!!! You (I) don't want that stuff all over the deck to walk in and track it into the house and shack....."
I already had done some preplanning and had the spot and poles already set up.....
He okay-ed it and then instructed me to get his traps and......???? I thought this was a good project for HIM. I was going tooooo...... oh yah... help him dye his traps.... What was I thinking.... who would do everything for him while he grumbled out his instructions....
So he took a wire and bent a hook in it.... he carefully dipped one trap at a time..... I took the trap with my gloved fingers and unhooked the pole from the tree and slid the trap on and hung the pole back to go get my next trap as he was impatiently waiting for me??????
Guess I'm getting slow in my old age....... "what takes you so long... geeze!!!!" We made it through about 3 dozen traps...... and I resisted dunking his head in the dip.... I have to admit that the thought crossed my mind but he was at a disadvantage kneeling in front of the tub and gravity in my favor..... hee hee.......
After he washed the dip off his "hands" with gas he turned and looked at me....... "MOM?...... how did you get so full of that stuff?" I seen a smirk on his face and a twinkle in his eye when he said that looking at me. I looked down at my cloths and his observation was dead on.... I was covered in that stuff...... than at a glance at his cloths.... he was not........???He won't go for a walk on a nice day SOOOOO I suggested he re-dye his traps with the old faithful "SPEED DIP" .......... the boil method from his past didn't work.
