Along with everything else going on last week, Kat was off exploring Germany with her daughter, Jessica, and a friend. She just got home Tuesday night.
I sure missed her, but it sounds like she had a really great time. She’s nearly convinced me to go back to see Munich with her sometime. I wonder if boar hunting season and Oktoberfest coincide? Any magazine editors out there need a good piece about hunting wild boar in Germany? I bet we can work out a good deal.
On a totally different topic…
Albert Quackenbush, over at the SoCal Bowhunter blog, sent me an email regarding a big promotion over at the Thermacell site. I have written about Thermacell insect repellent units a time or two, including this old gear review post. I’m a huge fan of this gadget. The damned thing works.
Anyway, Thermacell is giving away a lantern every day for the merry month of May (hey, a rhyme!). Go sign up and win one for yourself. And, when you go to the site and sign up, there’s a spot where they ask if you were referred by a friend. Check the box, and enter Albert’s reference code, FXSLPC. Let’s see if we can give him a boost toward winning the most referrals prize (I think it’s a $300 gift certificate to Bass Pro)!



Thanks for sharing this, Phillip! I certainly appreciate it. Thanks to whomever signs up from your blog as well. I know black flies are out in full force down here, so you can bet I’ll be using one of these.
