I don't get excited about it till about the 3rd week in Oct. That's when we usually get the first good cold snap of the year. After that, it's game on!!!!
I am kind of the same way.
I'll be leaving work early today and then staying until Monday afternoon. My wife has a new crossbow, if I missed this weekend there would be bad times in Simple's house.
UMM.... 23 hours and 32 minutes to go
