Searching for the Big One - again...

All is great here. I have been getting ready for a great fishing trip. I am leaving Friday morning for another trip up to the Columbia River with my fishing friend Don Rock. He is a retired engineer, gourmet chief and currently designer and cabinet builder of high end kitchens. He is one of the few people I have met that actually knows as much about fishing as I think I do. He lives about 2 hours from here, which is about how far most things seem to be here in DaHo. He has a 21’ jet boat and fishes about 1/3 of the time. I also met this guide from up there in a fishing forum that Don runs and he is going to show us all about catching keeper and BIG sturgeon up there. I am expecting to be bringing back a lot of great sturgeon meat and memories and pictures of catching a few 'Big Ones' in the 10’ and up size range. I know this may sound eerily like the other trip I took up there earlier this year, but that was the wrong time of year, wrong place and with the wrong guide. I have been doing a lot of research on this stuff and now is the time, below Bonneville Dam is the place and Paul is the guide.This is the chance to catch those big ones I have been searching for over the last couple of years. Watch this blog for BIG News next week...

Also, I have been going to the dentist to get my teeth repaired as I broke my front lower bridge on a great rack of lamb that Pam made a few days ago. I went to get it wrapped up today and my dentist said if I wanted to do a good Halloween costume, he could leave the bridge out for a day, and I could take my shirt off and go get some coveralls and a straw hat – just like in Deliverance… Ha, Ha...

The back is doing better. I have been taking different meds and all seems to be good so far. We shall see how it lasts. If I have any more trouble with it I am going to do another epidural shot with the new pain doctor.

I brought Pam back a little Air Hog R/C helicopter from Frys Electronics when I went to Kalifornia. She has been playing with it and even took it to work and ended up getting a bunch more of them online.

Pool has been going well. My new Wednesday night team is not doing well, but I am, so far. We shall see how it goes tonight and tomorrow.

O, speaking of Halloween, I went to the bank and they had a big sign posted on the outer doors asking people that were in costume to please be sure and remove their masks before entering the bank. With all the places I have been, with all the weird costumes (like San Francisco), I have never seen that sign in a bank before - Another 'Only in DaHo I guess'.
