Adventures (and Misadventures) in the Eastern Sierras Part IV . . .

Monday, October 23rd, 2006

The final chapter!
After a not-so-restful night of sleep I was up at 6:45 AM packing up my camp. The night was a very windy one and the noise of the bushes and wind buffeting on my tent interupted my sleep every hour or so. I pretty much packed up when Mr. Z finally [...]

Saturday, October 21st, 2006

Lots of fish and battery problems
Sunday morning we got an early start and headed over to the Twin Lakes. Once we were geared up we were on Upper Twin Lake and the fish started biting pretty soon after. I started out fishing with my fly rod using a sinking line. That was [...]

Anyone smell skunk?
Saturday was to be long day out on Convict Lake in out float tubes. Mr. Z and Mr. Brian have new fancy schmancy Fish Cat 4 float tubes. These things combines with Mr. Z’s Force Fins move MUCH quicker on the water than my OLD SCHOOL Buck’s Bags Buckaroo float tube. [...]

Driving, camping, fishing
Last friday I hit the road before the crack of dawn to drive up to the Mammoth lakes area of the Eastern Sierras. I was meeting up with Mr. Z, his wife, child, and the venerable Mr. Brian. I was the first to arrive so I setup camp and did a [...]

The Fall 2006 Brewery Art Walk . . .

Monday, October 9th, 2006

An afternoon of LA art
I drive by the Brewery smokestack at least 3 times a week, sometimes more, and I never knew what it was. I assumed is was simply an old brewery. A few months ago I stumbled upon an interview with an artist I like and found out it is an [...]

presented by Albackore
Saturday morning I woke up at 3:45 AM to drive from Glendale to Hunington Beach to enter the West Coast Fall Surf Slam fishing tournament. This is the first fishing tournament I have ever entered. It was really just a good excuse to get a bunch of friends together for some fishing. The [...]

Wednesday, October 4th, 2006

One 8 lb. Bonito
Yeah I know, I blog too much about fishing, well, suck it. Sunday Greg and I headed out again to Pierpoint Landing to get some fishing in. After some more research we now have a pretty good handle on what it takes to get the good spots on the boats. [...]

Substance A Birthday Party . . .

Friar Tucks as usual
I hadn’t seen George in a while so when I heard his band was playing tonight I cut out of class a little early and threw back a beer with him. It’s good to see he’s doing well and the band played great. I headed out before their set was [...]

CSULA Gets Wireless Internet ! ! !

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006

I don’t know when it happened, but it’s about time!
When I started here at CSULA in Fall of 2004 there is was NO wireless internet access which I found lame. It’s pretty common place on college campuses across the country now. This must have happened over the summer quarter or maybe it was [...]
