I snapped this pic of mom getting ready to go out. She had some Dr appointments this day. I thought it was kinda unique because of the way i took the picture of the mirror so it also caught my cellphone taking a picture of itself.  might sound goofy to you reading it. but o-well. I can be goofy when I want to.

After her appointments and a little shopping we went out for lunch at Old Chicago. We took these pictures to intentionally tease Doug and Grandma. When mom and I go out for lunch we like to take pix and send them to a few people. Its a lot of fun sometimes to see their replies.

Doug responded to the pix I sent to him with a picture of his lunch an apple. It was pretty silly and gave both mom and I a smile when I received the image from him.

It was a cold sunny day. I figured why not dress warm and see if the motor would run in the cold. Well it did without any trouble. I have been pretty happy lately with how it has been running I hope the motor will last the rest of this year. I have been running it pretty hard.

Lots of fish were biting this day. I am starting to enjoy boating and fishing solo. It can be pretty peaceful but its still nice when I have someone to go with.  I really love it when the water is smooth as glass. There probably isn’t too many more good weather days to fish this year so I am trying to soak it all up as often as possible.

I was casting with one of my favorite lures. I would have liked to pull in the fish that the scale above belonged to. O-well it was fun at least tugging on him for a moment. Maybe i will get it in the boat next time.

I caught several small cats and sheephead as usual. I wish I could figure out how to catch some walleye. Guess i just have to keep trying different spots. The spot I was fishing here is only 4 - 6 feet deep and I know that its not likely for walleye to be in the shallows this time of year.

Today was a pretty unusual day.

The day started with me waking up around 6:30 at Michelle’s. I did the normal morning things and when i found my phone and checked my text. I had a message from Jason reminding me that we were going to go fishing. So I responded to him letting him know that I wanted to but I would not be on time.  So we decided to meet at the boat launch.

When i arrived i took all my fishing gear out of my truck and walk out on the pier and sat down and started to open stuff up. I decided i wanted to change lures I went to cut the Lure off my line with needle nose pliers and when I pulled the line the lure stuck right into my pinky finger. It didn’t really hurt too bad at that moment. I figured that i had just hooked myself skin deep. Then i went to back the hook out and OMG. This was not so good. it hurt Like HECK.  It made my stomach weak and i felt dizzy.

I decided to wait a couple minuets to see if the pain would pass. Then Jason’s dad walked out the pier and saw my finger and suggested I went home and put some ice on it then back it out myself. There was no way i was going to be able to do that. I am too much of a baby when it comes to any pain at all. So Jason picked up all of my fishing equipment and his own and drove me to the Dr here in Byron.

They gave me 3 shots in the pinky and soaked it in some red stuff i figured to clean it. Then the dr pulls out some bolt cutters that were big enough to cut my finger off. Then he snipped the lure off and all that was left was the hook part inside my finger. Then he grabbed pliers out of his toy box and pushed the hook all the way out through a new hole. I couldn’t look but Jason watched the whole thing. Then I took a pic and replied to some text messages that I had received while in the Dr office

I signed the papers they needed me to and left. We went to the gas station and got something to drink. Then i got a call and had to go back to the Dr. they forgot to give me a tetanus shot. So i went back for that and was only in there a few minuets.

Finally got back to the boat launch and unloaded the fishing equiptment again and started fishing. I caught a little sheep head quickly and Jason hooked one and just as he brought it out of the water it flipped off. I then casted and jigged around the rocks on shore and hooked a nice bass. jason started to get sleepy so he headed home and i fished a short time longer and caught the teeny weenie baby bassey.

Thats the day. if you took enough time to read this post then please take a few more mins and leave some comments for me.

Last night Michelle gave Brandon a bath. After Brandon was finished drying off he came out to sit on the couch to chill out before bed.  Then he found my shades and kept trying to put them on. So i snapped a pix and wanted to share it with the world. So here it is.

I think he looks pretty cute with that half smile and my shades on.

what do you think?
