So, I am getting ready to go for my only fishing trip of the year.  Nothing special, just a week at Tunkwa Lake.
Rented a cabin and everything.  Taking my own little boat, fly rods, tying gear, and all the other stuff that a guy needs for a nice little trip by himself.  "Awesome Lady" doesn't care for this kind of stuff, so, I travel alone.

Maybe try a couple of day trips to some of the other lakes in the area.  A quick trip into "Surplus Herbies" in Kamloops, after all, a trip to the Interior isn't complete without a visit there.

Just gotta love a picture like this. Came from fish and hips.  If I new how to re-blog, I would.  Being a "luddite", I just copy/paste/hope for the best.

Nothing new happening here!  So, I really hope that something exciting is happening for you!  Although I am a bit "choked" that someone, somewhere is getting all the interesting stuff happening in their lives.  I wish that they would share a bit with the rest of us.

My "big deal" for the weekend will be putting more moss killer on the front lawn!!

Well, end of another week.  Not much happening, made it through OK. 

Please excuse my total lack of imagination.  It takes a lot of energy and thought to be totally shallow!!!!

Well, that finishes the first round of the "basic fly tying" course that I did.  I think it went great, mind you, that is merely my own personal opinion.  I think that everyone enjoyed themselves, and, hopefully picked up some good information. 

I am thinking that I will approach the Executive about having a monthly "drop-in", perhaps on a Saturday morning?
Well, kind of prepared for my last session of teaching "basic fly tying" at the local "Rod and Gun".  It's a club, not a pub, so we are semi-serious about it!!

Really been a great experience for me, very interesting to watch people when they are trying something new for the first time.

I will post a couple of pictures later.

My second "tying" video.

Hey, you gotta start somewhere!!!  Think of it this way.  There are lots of videos showing the correct way, but, how many guys are confident enough to show their mistakes!

Well, just finished instructing the second session of "basic fly tying" at the local Rod and Gun Club.

Seems to be well received and looks like everyone is enjoying themselves.  Seems to be quite a lively group, lots of laughter and chatter.

So.  This is a pretty major jump for me.  The idea of sharing anything on the i'net kind of goes against my "keep a low profile" kind of lifestyle.

Usually when someone wants to talk to me, they just drop by.  Most don't even bother to phone.  I probably won't see anybody now!!!

Currently have two trailer projects on the go.  A project at the "Rod and Gun", which keeps evolving into something else, a few small pieces of custom furniture, and all the other stuff that life throws at me.

Then the damn Gov't wants to make it so that I have to stay at work longer!!!  What the H**l????
