WOW la la land!

Gosh, I am so sorry to be such writing slacker, but there's has been so much happening, I could not stop to focus on any one or two items! So lets just Go:

1. Little River, Myrtle Beach, Final leg of Pro Fishing Tour
arrived a day late due to work issues, had a super crazy week, and just could not
go when I wanted, but I got there, to find a brand new boat, running like a champ,
fast as lightneng (I can't pronounce it, why should I be able to spell it!)
Tournament was hosted by Hook M Dano and got to see him, his lovely wife
Mrs. Hook'M, and newly wed, Travis and Mrs. Travis and that sweet beautiful baby!
Day one went all the way north, till the water almost ran out, boat ran like a
dream, cold though, forgot my boots and socks, so flip flopped my way through the
cool breeze, caught a decent fish, mid 30's for a solid 2nd place going into day 2

2. Day Two, went back kinda sorta, and could not find a decent fish, moved back in
late in the day, and then caught fish, but technical difficulties prevailed,
and I have to say, I, yes Me, threw a temper tantrum. Needless to say,
disapppointment was key, and I could not believe we could not turn this into a win
But I tried to rally, and break a few rods, and then break open the capt morgans.
Gloom Despair and Agony on Me, Whoooooaaaaaa
Deep Dark Depression, Excessive Agony, If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck
at all, Gloom Despair and Agony on me.
That's a famous Hee Haw song for you newbies, all and all though, we still ended
up third, and got top this and that in a gazillion other categories, met my sis
and Tiga at the dock, and watched the gloom disappear in the weigh in line.
Good for us, fishing sucked that day, so we remained in 3rd, and won a bunch of
little stuff. Course, I went from sad to happy in the same amount of time it
takes the new boat to go from 40 - 65 mph, and celebrated with my girls, and missy
and britt at the docks. Not a great idea after no food on a boat all day.
Apparently, got a bit wobbly, and went to get my checks, and told Jack from SKA I
would not leave the stage till I was the winner, fortunately, crowd thought that
was funny. Went to bed early and woke up to another year older-ARG! Karen
decorated the condo,and had presents from all, and it was big fun, headed to
Prossers Diner for the day after meal.
3. Hatterass NC
Family Friend Vaca Roster:
family zerwheiss, steph jason and jackson, who was table top baby last year, now crawling and moving!,
Missy and Allison, they love each other! Wi-iiiiiii!
Erica and Chris Robinson, future fishermen of the world tour
Chris and Jan Chase, from Michigan, first time back on the water since the
pavement and he had a serious talk about motorcycles, he did great!
Blue Sky Clan, Phil, the fugitive, Kelly the margarita master, dylan, the clown,
and Jono, the giggle pot!
Eric-farm/business/personal/kayaker/box packer/order taker/suit wearing/non eater/
dark beer guzzlin/friend to us all, and the reason we all work so well together,
the blue glue, in blue sky. NOT the diaper changer though!
Mikey, that's the fun one, and Susan, she's kinda boring, ya know.
Gift bags were upon each door, and presents, and food, and costumes were the talk
of each day, though we rarely got out of the jammies!
Turned the sports bar into an Elvis Shrine,
Thank you very much!

Had more fun then should be legal, spent a few days in ocacroake island first,
hung with the locals, and then headed to hatterass, to find big sharks, and big
winds, only fished a few days,
enjoyed the heck out of the company with though, did a holiday theme each night
for dinner, we picked mardis gras, and had masks and beads, and a seafood buffet
mixed with red beans and rice, and some live neville brothers. Had a halloween
party one night, and all the girls dressed up as 'susan's', hippie susan,
fishing susan, serious susan, they all drank amstel lite and had bad jokes!
A real bonding week of friends and new little ones to our group. Not much fishing,
but lots of relaxing and playing games! and losing money to Jason Z in blackjack,
oddly enough, they were reluctant to let me deal after last year, apparently,
they all said I am an obnoxious dealer who wins too much!

4. Ratdog House Of Blues Myrtle Beach, clan will re-conveine for a little shakey
aiko aiko all day, some cumberland blues, and some black throated wind, loser!
Will be substituting Josh Taylor for the Chase's, they just have too much rhythm
for us hippie dancers! and Erica Buffalo version, that's upstate ny, muskee
fishin', she is the cool relative of Mikey, and an ole friend from Hilton Head!

4. Nationals in Biloxi MS next week, will be posting live, daily, from the super
bowl of fishing event.
