Why I like and hate February!!!

First off, I like February because of the following....

The Camping and RV Show at Eastern States the 13th to the 16th

The Outdoor Sports Show at Eastern States the 19th to the 22nd

The fact that I get my tax refunds back.

Planning camping and fishing trips around the area.

New fishing shows on VS, Outdoor Channel, CSN, ESPN

Valentine's Day with my gal.



The things I hate about February.....

Owing Taxes to the IRS or State DOR (Finding out after you spent 5 hours figuring the forms out)

Exise Tax is due on my truck (Went up from last year... almost double)

Everyone and their relatives are doing the same big ticket shopping that I am on the same day at the same time because they got their Tax Refund back at the same time.

Snow and Ice covering everything I would rather be fishing or working on.

Having to wash the salt of my truck on a daily basis, even when parked.

Planning my vacations for the year so management can tell me no because someone senior to me has that week off.

Having to replan my vacations because management told me no I couldn't have this week off but offer the 3rd week in November as the only one available because no one wanted it.



So there you have it, why I love and hate February, and the events I'm headed to.
