From Helicopter Spotlight to Vegas in 6 Hours . .

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

I’m too old for some things.
Like what you ask? You can read a great story about some clandestine fishing over at Two Legs Bad that I had nothing to do with. Really. I am not one of the characters in that supposedly true story. If I were I wouldn’t post this [...]

Comment Spam-a-palooza . . .

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

This is a test.
Well I’m going to be testing some new stuff to try and at the very least lessen the amount of spam I’m getting to the comments.  Currently I have the little challenge question which worked great for a while, but now seems to be failing terribly.  My guess is someone wrote a [...]

35.6 MPG . . .

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

404 Miles on the tank!
I used to race my car quite a bit, but over the past few years have quietly put that hobby on hold. You see my ‘race’ car was also my daily driver. That can become quite the headache. Over the past year or so I have sold most [...]

Why I Might Start Garage Sale-ing . . .

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

I’ll probably never get this lucky, but it never hurts to try!
When I returned from Vegas (more on that later) on Sunday night I fired up the ol’ PowerBook to find an e-mail from all around good guy and artist extraordinaire, Coop. To what did I owe the pleasure? This:

Vintage tackle box with [...]

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii . . .

Monday, March 26th, 2007

After several trys I now own a Nintendo Wii.
After a few weeks of trying to simply buy a Wii with just an extra controller I finally got one. I called tons of places and they either didn’t have them or wanted to sell it to you in some $600 bundle with a bunch of [...]

Clandestine Fishing At Lake ‘Project-Q’ . . .

Monday, March 19th, 2007

Some nice bass at a secret location!
Sunday night I’m laying on my bed watching TV and thumb through a Japanese fishing magazine when my phone rings. Hrmmmm, I didn’t recognize the number, but I picked up anyways. It was Devon, fisherman extraordinaire, asking me if I wanted to fish a super secret location. [...]

Garmin StreetPilot c550 . . .

Exactly what I wanted in a car GPS/Nav unit!
I have had a Magellan Meridian Gold for years. It’s a hand held GPS unit that serves well for hiking and fishing. Over the years I have used it as an electronic map as well while looking for addresses here and there, but with out [...]

Finally, My 1st Bass From Puddingstone . . .

Friday, March 16th, 2007

It took more than a few visits, but it was worth it.
Well, let’s not get carried away, it was no monster, but it was a nice Bass. I’m thinking it’s a Spotted Bass, maybe someone can comment and tell me for sure. It was around 2 lbs I think, maybe a little under [...]

Fly Fishing The Upper Kern River . . .

Thursday, March 15th, 2007

No fish were harmed in creation of this blog post
The main reason for that statement is that no fish were caught. The other reason is that we fished the upper Kern above the Johnsondale Bridge and there is a zero limit this time of the year. You are also limited to artificial lures [...]

I Blame The Girl Scouts . . .

. . . and their cookies for my expanding waist line.
Damn, are their cookies good! My favorite are the Thin Mints.

My belly inducing desk at work!
2 boxes of Thin Mints, 1 box of Cafe Cookies, and 1 box of sugar free Little Brownies for good measure. Maybe I should say to keep my [...]

My First Online Article ! ! !

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007

Check out my first online article over at Fishing Fury
I am happy to say that shortly after my return from Japan I was contacted by Jonathon Marshall from Fishing Fury and asked if I’d be interested in a writing a piece for his site on Japanese tackle shops. My answer of course was, “HELL [...]

I Want a Wii ! ! !

Friday, March 2nd, 2007

Seriously!
Nintendo really gets gaming. It’s suppose to fun not frustrating. I used to play video games of all kind. I even once won an office Quake tournament, but all these games have passed me up. Tonight I played with my friends Wii and I LOVED IT! I get why some [...]
