Time Flies When You are Having Fun...

Sorry for not reporting in for a while there. There has been lots of stuff happening around DaHo lately and I just haven't gotten around to reporting it all. So, here goes...

We have been doing a lot of work around the 'estate'. Pam has been spending hours with her new Mother's Day gift, the Sears walk behind brush whacker, and has most of the back half of the grounds weed population removed. I finally got the fountain fixed and it is up and running great. In fact, all the grounds are looking great.

Pam did her March of Dimes 6+ mile walk last weekend and was even on TV, on the news, and hasn't been quite the same since... She has been working out and dieting and has lost about 15 lbs and is looking Hot.

My pool tournaments have not been going too well. I have been playing pretty good, just not getting the breaks and playing lucky players, grumble, grumble... I am starting to play in a summer 9-ball league again this year. I am playing with Storm and Steve again, so we should be able to win it again this year. Last year, Steve and I tied for the top player in the league.

I have been spending most of my time either fishing or working on fishing stuff. All the Sturgeon seemed to disappear about two weeks ago and I have been going all sorts of places trying to track them down. Last week, I went back down to the Bliss Dam and this time went down on the rocks to the water level to fish. Boy, I am sure glad that fish I had hooked up there last time got off by itself. I had a hard time just walking down there - without having a 200# fish on the end of a line... All the rocks there are granite and all broken up making all sorts of very sharp edges that would not have been fun to trip and/or fall on at all. And, the 'path' was this sand sort of stuff over rock that would slide and bury your shoes with ever step. All I caught were 'Rock Salmon' loosing my weights and hooks every time. I don't think I will go back there again...

Today, I went to a new place that is only about 5-10 miles from home. It about 5 miles or so down the river from the bridge. After all the places I have been searching for the Sturgeon this last year, this has one of the most 'interesting' roads so far. It is a very challenging four switchback 'road' to get down the canyon wall. You have to do a couple of 'back-and-forths' to get through a couple of the tight turns. The sign pretty much says it all...



But, once there, it is one of the prettiest places I have been...



The waterfall is just stunning an the fishing was good also. There are also a couple of other waterfalls down the way if you get bored with that one. I ended up catching two 5' Sturgeons and had a bunch of bites. More action that I have had in weeks and well appreciated. I heard about it from a friend while playing pool the other night and they said a friend of theirs caught a 10'er there that they couldn't put their arms around - my kind of fish...

The Honda Mini-Trail is running better and better and Pam has been out riding it in the BLM lands next door. She said she has found a place where there are a lot of bike jumps and has been having big fun.

The weather has been mostly good, except for the occasional wind storm and all in all, things have been going great here in DaHo...
