A Day In The Life Of Me: Part II

So I've been very busy with work and other commitments. I haven't had to time to update this thing. I've spent what free time I've had cleaning up the Air Show pics. The pics have been uploaded and I'm waiting for my brother to ID all the planes and helicopters, he's a military aircraft nut. Once the pics are done, I will have a separate post with a link to all the pics and highlights of the day. The sunburn I incurred from the air show is starting to heal a little. I would've been better off sticking my face on a grill.

Speaking of grills, my wonderful grill which has been great to me for about 3 years, met it's maker. The burners fell apart. So I went shopping for a new grill today and got it put together. While checking all the lines, I caught my hair on fire.

Tomorrow I should get the pics done. I also have to adjust "Tater's" crib and put her new highchair together. The rocking horse I started working on for her has kind of taken a backseat. It's all cut out, it needs sanded, routered, stained, and then put together. It looks good so far, so I shouldn't be ashamed to post the final result. I'm hoping to get it sanded Saturday, after I go shooting.

Speaking of shooting, squirrel season is here. I need to go hit some targets before hunting. Depending on how that goes, I may sneak in some skeet shooting. Pheasant and Quail season is in November. If you never had smoked pheasant or quail, you don't know what your missing. I guess I'm pretty much done with fishing for the year.

Speaking of fishing. The one that got away. I really want to catch the fish that broke my reel and snapped my 24lb test spiderwire braided line. It almost pulled my pole in the water. I had my drag set at the highest setting and the line was still screaming out. I tried to "horse" it in because I was running out of line. The stress on the handle caused it to break. I was left with turning the spool with my hand. Once I started doing that, the line snapped. I was fishing a small reservoir and the only fish in there that could possibly do that is a big ol' catfish or northern pike and I'm not even sure pike are in that particular reservoir.

So that's been and will be my week in a nutshell. I've been thinking about taking vacation in a couple weeks. I don't plan on going anywhere, just catching up on things I need to do and want to do.
