« on: May 11, 2012, 07:55:46 pm »
I teach college and my summer started today.  I like having the summer off but it makes going back to work hard.  What would you do it you had the summer off? Then I will tell what I am going to do.

Be careful, you could have a few old retired guys on your doorstep pretty quick...  O wait, I just wish I was retired. :-\

Who thought a fishhead would have that much sense?

I'm working on the calendar for the summer.  I'm filling out every date that is scheduled for some event or other than I cannot avoid...and then blocking out the weekends and the events that I want for myself.  Once I have those dates on the calendar I promise and vow to call my own time sacred and not give it up for anyone or anything.  After last year's miserable record of ZERO NITES CATFISHING I am changing my ways.

Hey jw how you doing! I just wanted you to know that we took your bow to the classic and Isaac finished in the middle for his age group.  We also finished his new bow but are still sanding a finish on it.   You were a good influence on him and this has  made a difference in his life. Shoot me a PM with your address and phone number please.
 Anyway I am going to take a couple weeks off from work and make art and build another bow.   Then I decided to teach a summer class for extra money to vacation toward the southwest and maybe stop and see jackcrafty on my way to NM to see my son.

I've got a few weeks to go.  So YosemiteBen, that's a standing invitation?  Fish huh?  Flyfishing?

  I've been off mostly my whole life. NO JOKE Thats what I've kept telling myself. Not many people get to make a liveing at what the love to do. I think I came make it one more summer. From the end of gobbler season to AUG I fly fish mainly. The summer here in WV. Throw in a few camping trips with my sons along water ofcorse. Then it's back to chaseing bucks for me.
  IT'S BEEN A HARD LIFE
