I will DEFINITELY be out tomorrow testing out some new stuff.
I was thinking about trout, but I think I rather stand on the beach and cast to get myself in the surfcasting mind set again.

I've been atrying to knock off a few pounds...I've dropped 22 since the 1st of the year. Also gave up drinking for lent......See if that can knock a few off.

I need to get out and take a few casts just for sanity's sake this weekend. Maybe I'll tie my kids Gameboy to the end and cast it him see how hard he fights to get it back :D

7 days earlier than the typical Saint Patrick's day deadline...

i have been walking up hill 1000 ft.with a 40lb or more 6 foot
oak log on my shoulder huffin and puffin to loose weight and get in shape and its working...not counting the splitting ,stacking ect.
the weight is starting to come off now... whoopie a freakin whole 2 pounds.... :happy:

i gave up beer after new years too, at least the habbit of buying a six pack
every day or 2 ...occasionally i'll have a couple still ( if in celebration mode) but i cut down 90%.
and thats REAL good for a Scotsman.

i have an appointment for an MRI tomorrow :eek5: I'm not liking this.
on the first warm day of spring too...... geeesch...

i also drive the blazer 4 wheelin down there too....
i'm not a maniac, but i like the challenge and the excercise.
the other thing is...i cant run the chainsaw at 5:00 am
but a log i can carry into the cellar and saw up on the chop saw
does the trick for a toasty fire on a very cold mornin.:heybaby:

Funny....you say trout fishing is for....let me get this right...."homos" yet.......:hs:....you like fly fishing? Almost seems like the pot calling the kettle black!:bl:

Cause if I was to use your train of thought.....which in this instance is in 1/32 scale.....:bl:....I would tell you my thoughts on fly fishing! But....I have more class than that because I know better than to ridicule the way someone else chooses to fish!:huh:

So......gonna go out tomorrow with one of my fishing buddies and catch some trout, maybe some salmon if I am lucky and hopefully plug up a few largies!:wave: Just gonna enjoy the day!

I usta do alot of canoe fishing.Its the Indian thing.u paddle cross the lake then u gotta paddle back.sucks.i was glad to have one when i was young thou.I rolled it over more than few times. once setting the hook.I always been a big swinger.did the whole trout thing also.Drive a hour an 30, stand in a freezin stream, floating nymphs.to catch fish no bigger than my johnson.it was a experience alright.Did steelies' an salmon.snaggin salmon was cool like hookin a b#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& bronko.15 lb test u find out what the limitations of ur gear are real fast with those things.Did alot of freshwater bass, tourneys an all.anyone can have a good day on the lake now an again.go get em when u got to.u hear all the excuses back at the dock.Then somebody always comes in with a Big limit.taught me alot about perseverance.i think everyone should try all types of fishing it makes u better at the real thing(striper's) in the long run.

Feelin much much better, Thanks...
Kidney Stones, and Acute Diviticulitis at the same time...
but, a week of Cipro, and pushing gravel thru a, er, straw, knocked it all out, and almost me too, that chit rips yer insides out.
Think I'd rather take a beating from Peter Manfredo, prolly hurt less :hihi:
some diet changes, for both of those, will do the trick, I hope, don't want either one back too soon....

NIB
03-11-2006, 09:05 AM
Glad u got that all cleared up:eer:
Droppin a few lbs never hurts hard to do but it puts some spring in ur step.So what did u have to give up.I bet its all the good stuff.
hey.There's a decantor for auction on our trount thing on the other place.It looks like a musky I think? can be had pretty cheap.made me think of U.

gave up: nuts, seeds, (any kind of either), cukes, tomatoes, raspberry jam, strawberries, popcorn, coffee, colas, etc.,whole buncha other stuff, try to eat less meat, drink a LOT more water, and more fruit juice.
water, water, water.. I'm supposed to try to consume at least a gallon everyday.. I guess the key is to keep the system flushed, good thing is, I'm so damn full of water, I can't get too much more in :)
oh yeah, teaspoon of metamucil everyday.. cripes, thought that was for old people,,, oh chit, that's right, guess I is one.

Karl, I found that if you have 3 tablespoons of medimusal a day it cleans you out and also the fiber blocks fat from entering your body. oh and did I say it cleaned you out. few but the gas it gives you is hell. I am doing fruit and water but there is no way I am giving up coffee no way. I guess my weight gain was from quiting smoking 1 year and 3 months ago

I'm drinking beer out of heavy glass mugs and bringing them to and from my mouth nearly horizontally (but with a slight arc). I speed up and stop abruptly just before my mouth, sending that beer to its target. Get's my casting arm in shape for fly fishing.
