Plans…….
today i woke up at 5:30 to be in a redfish tourneyment. we didn’t start fishing until 8:00. that’s not a good start. i caught a few, but no keepers. my father-in-law came out some time around noon. he parked 30 yards from me and within 1/2 hour landed a 21 inch red. (he wasn’t fishing the tourney) i got home just in time for my fantasy basketball draft. i like my team, we’ll see how the season plays out. then i ate chicken. afterwards me, my wife, and marvin went on a date to see “Dan In Real Life”. i thought it was cool (kinda a chick flick). at the end he said something like….we like to ask our kids what their plans are in life. what we should say is, “be ready for surprises. prepare for your plans to change”.
i thought that was a great line. i’m not saying don’t think about the future, but don’t loose sleep if you don’t know what you’re gonna do about something. i don’t think i can say there is one aspect of my life that i expected 7 years ago. not one. but i couldn’t have asked for better.
I love it when we’re cruisin’
I’ll have to admit it. I like that song. Remember when Huey Lewis and Gweneth Paltrow did it for the movie Duets?
So I am headed to Ft. Lauderdale first thing in the morning. Going on a cruise. So my blog will have to take a week off. For my 15 faithfulls, I’ll miss you. Maybe if I talk about sex when I get back my hits will stay up.
Hopefully my ankle won’t give out in mid cruise. I feel like I shouldn’t go. I’ve been out of work for almost 2 weeks because of my ankle.
Fantasy update……..I only drafted 1 player that I had my eye on. I think my team is gonna be o.k. Somehow, the computer glitched and auto-picked michael vick for me. I wonder how many points you get for jail time???
Off to the boat
Pity Party
i haven’t been fishing in a long time. i had rehearsals that took up all of my spare time. So I finaly got a chance to hit the water today. I planned a nice trip with my uncle and my brother but my uncle couldn’t go and my brother called me yesterday and cancelled. So i called my buddy Nick to join me.
We got out on the water and headed for our “hole”. First of all, it was windy, so our choices were narrowed. We had to go in spots that block the wind. Well, on our way out the steering cable snapped. Somehow it got caught up in a wiring harness. It also cut a wire in the wiring harness. This wire must have controled the power for the ignition and the engine tilt because nothing worked.
So here we are, no steering, can’t tilt the motor up, can’t start the boat. Not to mention the fact that we haven’t even got a hook wet. Somebody was there and offered to tow us in. At least I’m not stranded. (although, if i was stranded, i would be fishin right now. and that’s not all that bad.)
