The Fishing Report
Oh yeah, we went fishing last week.
On my birthday I went to what is simply known as the Railroad Pond. Basically it got it's name for the two-mile hike along railroads tracks you have to make each way to get to the place.
Out of the three of us we left with one jumbo (@19 inches) and three over 12 inches. We thought the jumbo was a triploid which are bred without sex organs. Upon cleaning the fish we were dismayed to find out it was just an older lake trout with eggs still inside her. I hate taking pregnant fish out of the water, but we had no idea before we cut her open.
I caught more trout than I can remember or even count, but nothing big.
On Saturday we headed out to Drano Lake and the Klickitat River over on the Gorge for our first try at salmon fishing since the fall run.
Aside from a few small trout, we came up empty. (And I came home itching.)
Drano Lake got emptied by the Indians and their massive netting program. We only spent a couple of hours on the river, but if we had gone there the whole day, I have no doubt we would have left with our limit. (The salmon were everywhere!)
We're too broke to go all the way out there again, and boy am I disappointed.

Itching Like Friggin Crazy
I hate poison ivy.
It should be eradicated. There is no useful purpose for this plant except maybe agricultural warfare. A few stratigically planted in the caves in Afghanistan would do more for national security than the bush rotting in the oval office.
Anyway.
I found some real awsome houses this evening online. I'm hoping Robin can take a look tommorrow while I'm at work. I work all friggin day from 10am to 7pm.
AND I'm on steroids again. Woohoo. It should be fun.

Much Too Young To Be This Damn Old
The Big 3 - 0.
Well, it's here. Yeah.
We found out that we did NOT get the latest house we set our hearts on. I am really getting pissed off.
So, now we're looking for another house. I told the broker if the next one falls through I am going to go postal on his ass though.
Well, now we can look for something bigger. There's a lot of new stuff on the market.
In other news, I have rejoined the working world. They offered me a job at Safeway working in the Seafood/Meat Dept. They gave me this wierd drug test I had never seen before the other day. IT WAS NASTY. It was a salty swab you put in between your checks and gums for 10 minutes. I can still taste it. YUCK.
At least the old lady didn't make me pee in front of her, right there in the store. I start my training on Monday and then I have to still go get licensed to handle food.
Oh, and I have to join the union.
But with my managment experience in radio, I have been tagged for the Leadership Developement Program. In other words, I could be an assistant Safeway store manager in two years. (They make $80k a year in Washington)
We are so relieved that I have a job now.
Good things are starting to happen. Now if we can just FINISH buying a damn house and get moved in already.
