New toy

This might be a little more than I really need, but who is judging. Found a sweet deal on an old camper in pretty good shape. Ends up it was an old friend's family camper. Right away the camper was initiated with a trip to Clear Lake with my brother's family. My goddaughter checked out each bed and said they are GREAT!!! So who is up for camping?


If you think that the camper looks like it is crammed into this spot and your right. In fact the neighbors came over to watch me try and back this thing into the drive.


Side two. Obviously the camper has a slide out. The bummer with the slide out is that it totally blocks the garage. I guess I don't need to park inside anyways.


Here is the mobile living room and kitchen.

Interested in a campfire? Tell me when and where and I will meet you there.

Now this is Fishing

I recently returned from a great trip up to Canada for fishing. 10 guys, big fish, and poker what else could you ask for. There was a new group record fish seen. Yes, I said seen but not caught. Randy pulled a ~50 inch Musky up to the boat but the three guys could not figure out how to get the monster fish (named Gone-Again) into the boat.

As for myself I had some good fish but no new records. The biggest fish actually caught was a 36" Northern. Check out some of the pictures below.


Now this is living!!! Pictured is my Dad relaxing while we troll.


Here is the whole gang.


It wasn't all work, we did some relaxation too.


Here is Todd working the bay at lunch island. Some people just can't get enough time with their line in the water.


Here is Dad floating my boat with me fishing. Of course this is before the boat broke.


Here is my "monster".


One of Dad's monsters.


Brian's "big one". This fish wasn't the longest one caught this trip but it fought like it was. The good news is the whole event is caught on a video by his brother. This man is luck because he caught a big fish with the whole gang present.


Last but not least is Matt's big fish. It was a monster but Brian wasn't letting him take all the credit. Brian was driving the boat. Look at the smile on Matt's face, I think he was in love.
