10point Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Suppossed to be leaving late Friday or early Saturday morning to come up to Ontario for a week of fishing with my Son and a friend and his son. My friend just sent me a note saying we needed to talk about the departure date. He says his wedding anniversary is on the 9th and his wife works Thursday night so they can't do anything until Friday night. Like he didn't know this before now! I replied back that I hate to lose a day on a trip we have been planning for 5 months and asked if he could do something before Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenboater Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 If you're considering a crack of dawn departure on Sat anyways., she can drop him off at your place Friday night after they celebrate then either haul ass asap or wait till first light. Not sure how you're losing a day if Sat was an option but hopefully it'll work out and you'll be on the blacktop as planned ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider it loosing a day becuase we were talking about leaving Friday night or 2 or 3 in the morning on Sat but now he is talking about leaving Sat evening.

glen Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Cut him loose now while you have the chance. For real though he and wife can party when he gets back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenboater Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Yeah, that bites. Still could work out but anniversaries area funny thing. Personally, #9 was not a big deal for my wife and I, 10 was more important. If they don't stay out too late, boogying at 2 or 3 is still possible, unless he has to pack. Maybe it's time for him to lay down a guilt trip... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adempsey Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Tell him he can meet you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Tell him he can meet you there. Exactly!!!! He's a big boy and if he can't stand up for himself he sure as heck can drive his own car, unless his wife says he can't of course!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to take trips with 4-5 other guys every year. Something like you are experiencing, as well as deciding to leave go home earlier than planned, finally caused me to either go alone, or take my son. I would tell him...."this is when I'm leaving... if you are there, fine, if not, that's fine too. Fishing trips to Canada are sacred to me.....apparently not to him.
