Simple Pleasures

My sister Melissa tagged me to put up 5 of my simple pleasures in life. It's no surprise that 2 of them involve food, since I love it SO.

First:
Since I am on the "Sugar Free" kick until hay fever season is over, I'll mention my favorite diet drink. Diet Pepsi Max.


Second:
Always side-by-side, I cannot drink my Diet Pepsi Max without a good dose of some Spitz Dill Pickle sunflower seeds:


Third:
I like to smell good. I have a half dozen cologne bottles and various body washes that I use. But the one I love the most is my Old Spice Red Zone VITALITY:


Fourth:
Guns. All guns. From my Marlin 1895 to my Springfield XD45...the gun I carry with me all day, every day:


Fifth:
I like the cold for various reasons. First, I served my mission in, like, the hottest place on the planet. Ecuador. I remember looking at the big digital thermometer in town one morning and saw the Celsius reading and thought, "I don't know what that converts to in Fahrenheit, but I'm going to remember that number." It was 44 degrees Celsius. That's 108 degrees Fahrenheit, WITH 100% HUMIDITY. Nasty, nasty weather. I also like the cold because it means allergies go bye-bye for 6-8 months. Nasty, nasty allergies. You'll often see me taking DEEP breaths outside when it is below 32 degrees. That cold air feels great on my lungs and reminds me that it is also hunting season. I love hiking around in some remote wilderness area searching for big game. I also love exercising in the cold weather. Last winter, I would run consistently every other day until the temperature got below 20 degrees. NICE!!!
