We went out to the Shenandoah yesterday to mess around a bit. Tried
flyfishing for a while, but I guess I'm getting soft, because I thought
it was just too damned cold. I think the temps got to the upper 40s
while we were standing on the banks. Got a little warmer later in the day.


I got a new V-tube (Outcast FishCat4:
http://www.outcastboats.com/outcastb...cattubes.shtml) and floated
around Mil Lake for a while on Saturday. Beautiful day! After 3 hrs my
feet were getting a bit cold, though...

Was gonna get the 12-footer out on Sunday, but spent all day getting the
trailer wiring done. Never trust the wiring diagrams in a Hayes Manual!
(or the wiring someone else did on the truck you bought). Ended up doing
it 3 times, the last time ringing out the wires to find the right ones.

So: this weekend, off to Hicks Lake with the 12-footer. Next weekend,
there's a Fish-in at Sayres Lake on Saturday where I'll take the
float-tube, and on Sunday there's one at Allouette Lake with the 12-footer.

Oh, and the Crocuses have been out for over a month now...

Crocuses? What's the temp these days in your part of town?



We hav very high winds and heavy rain yesterday & overnight. Our power went
out sometime while we were asleep and didn't come back on until 0845 this
morning. Next the temperature dropped and we had a mini blizzard. Only
tonight have the winds finally dropped.

I guess you don't wanna hear that our temps are closer to 15C, and the
"scenery" is starting to get good - getting harder to pay attention to the
road while commuting on the motorbike! :)

I guess you don't want to hear that our temps will be hovering around 80F
this weekend and the scenery in Daytona is spectacular. It is almost
impossible to pay attention to the road.
