Reunions and things

Well it seems that I am getting in contact with more people that are from my past as this 20 yr school reunion draws near..

I have a really wild story from when we went fishing Monday night.
We went to "the wall" down at the lake, I wanted to go cause I thought the water would be cold enough to do some crappie fishing, crappie wasn't biting but catfish started hitting after being there for about 2 hours. After dark though I started getting a lot of bites but returned no fish. My son started sending me messages via facebook to my phone so I started answering him. during this time a fish hits my line so hard my good pole shoots strait out and right into the lake. Frustrated I reel in my other line and cast back out a few times hoping that I can catch my line, but to no avail no luck, so I cast right about the same place I was casting and waited. No more than 5 minuted after I sat my pole down, I get a bite and my line takes off heading towards the end of the wall. its fights for a few seconds then it stops.. i continue reeling and here comes my good pole right out of the water .. the fish was still on it up to point it breaks the water and then splash it breaks the line.

There's a lesson here. The lesson is that God can take things away any times he pleases and if he wishes to he can give it back... God is GREAT and AWESOME!!

Sandi lands a bass

We went fishing yesterday, I had recently bought Sandi a new fishing pole, and she bought herself a new "floatie lure" (there's a story there I may tell later). She wanted to test out the new pole so we went to a fishing spot that I was told about being less that a couple miles away.. I was using the new sunfish pole she bought me(a take down carbon fiber version of a cane pole basically) and had went to a section a distance away and almost fell in the water. About that time she yells out "Hey Brad! I got a fish!!!" When I get down there she has this beautiful bass that she is wrestling with..
all in all it was a good day yesterday... As for me, I have been using the new E-reader that we rented for an evaluation. I have been reading "Way of the Bow" by Paulo Coelho so far its a really good read.

Every day I have been practicing with the new compound bow and can hit my target rather easily so long as it not more than 30 yrds away... im still working on shooting from a farther distance and think I may hit the target area after this next pay period.. i don't know yet.. I don know that deer tags go on sale next week and think i may get those after I get paid.

A storm blew in and soaked me so I am like "WoooHooo!! Its over, FISH ON!!"	A storm hit, no pics of it though this is the waves right after the rain stopped.
While waiting for the storm to get over, I grilled burgers, lol the storm passed almost imeadiately after I lit the grill... Yeah, God has a sence of humor... But I love Him..	This is the first 3 fish caught within 20 mins after the storm hit. The first one broke my favorite rod that collapsed down to fit into my backpack... yeah it sucked but atlest I got out at was fishing..
Another fish, I switched to a rod that already was missing the tip and I had found on one of my other fishing ventures..	Its another one... all in all I caught 6 that I kept
Nate writing a journal entry, Im not sure what he wrote but I think he was takin notes..	"Brad your fish are diein" So I caught another one and we went home...
playing with my food..lol	getting down to the business of skinning
close up of skining	a better look at me... Sandi loves to take pics of me.. lol
another picture of me at work	this was while I was cleaning them, they still arnt dead yet but ate getting real close... lol the picture prio to this one, I was on the last one and Sandi says "Aww I cant take any more pictures cause youre on the last one." lol

Whew! I'm wore out tonight..

Well firstly I went to court to find out that supposedly I now have several businesses in my name and all are making money... Wow!!! Don't I wish!!! yeah that's why I still have been driving a piece of crap 1992 ford escort that I has had to be rebuilt twice and is on its last leg.. I mean seriously... If I was to be making money due to having businesses, I would have quit the job that I am really starting to hate and just earned money via my business...

After court (Around noon) I came home fixed a fried balogna sandwich and set off to go fishing... I just made it home about 10PM.. Needless to say I am burnt, and tired. We went to 2 different places, one of which I had to carry my filled 5 gallon bucket some 200 yrds to where we were fishing..

LOL the first fish I caught was most definitely a keeper, however I apparently put it on the stringer wrong and it was dead when I pulled it out of the water before we decided to go some where else and get out of the sun... so I was left with small fish to clean tonight...

Its all good, I came home to a very good stir fried meal...Thanks Honey (She takes sooo good care of me) :P

Well I'm beat and going to get heading off to bed... Thanks for reading me and as always, leave a note letting me know you were here...

Cooler, But Still More Heat

Although last nights rain cooled it off overnight and the temp this morning was in the low 70's, it is now 95 with a heat index of 115...

I went fishing this morning after breakfast and intend on going again after dark... might have to go and buy a light up bobber, I need to put meat on the table, especially after the fiasco last night.. I really wish I was closer to the lake and at least had a large inner tube, for I would at least set some trot lines and provide at least some catfish...
