Step two...

The next phase of online self indulgence.
I made the mistake of monkeying around with my original BLOG located here http://here2ventandwine.blogspot.com/ and ruining it.
I am useless.
I am starting over..and here we go.

I Feel Gross

Full blown head cold.



..and here I am with leave booked for today. Best laid plans and all that madness.

I worked yesterday. I had too. It was my Stat and I am unfortunately in the position where I can't turn up my nose at that kind of money ..even if the rivers have risen..



I was hoping that with Leave booked on the Thursday I would be able to snap up some riparian scraps so to speak but the river I wanted to fish had fallen below good.

I could've called in and switched my leave from personal to 'sick leave' and just stayed in bed but the river beckoned and I thought maybe the fresh air might actually help...and it really might have.

I did catch a few fish and that is really all I need.



It was a beautiful morning and it was also nice to be home earlier than normal. I think Avery and I will head over to the park in a bit.

I have a Union meeting tonight with our full membership. Being a member of the Executive means I should probably go but I may just stay home...Netfiix, Scotch and The Walking Dead. I kinda feel like a zombie myself.



Kim has her annual trip to Chicago this weekend and I will be home with the kids. I am hoping that I can shake this illness because I had been really looking forward to spending some time with just the kids and I.
I always try and plan something fun.



Twin Pines Apple Orchard is having a Christmas event this weekend and I hope that everybody is up for it.

That is always a fun place to visit and their cider is really great. I may have to pick up a few bottles.

I am about to turn the corner on some pretty busy scheduling and it could be it for fishing for a bit.

Glad I forced it today.

  3. Yah guys I am glad I did too although I am sucking wind big time now.
    Good luck with the Maiden voyage. I'll admit it sounds like a good idea but the older I get the less gear I want.
    I may at some point start leaving the fishing rod at home.
    What I really want is some more rain. Lets hope.

    I was all alone today. A few cars at the usual spots but in my mind it would not have been worth the hike...at least with the shape I am in currently.
    Garlic ,Vitamin C, Scotch and Netflix...that should fix er
