Day 09: Something I'm Proud of in the Past Few Days

Well, I haven't done too much within the past few days beside relaxing. I am proud of myself and my team because we bowled great tonight. I'm also proud of this Pike I caught on Saturday.

I'm Home!

My vacation went over alright, though it could have been better.
Dan and I didn't get much fishing in. I caught a Crappie and he caught a Bass.

I tried to play with the camera a little. I had very little inspiration so this is all I got to.

All I can say is, I'm glad to be back home.
I hope you all enjoyed your weekend.

Now that I'm back around I need to get working on my shop more. I'm in the process of thinking of a new name for the blog as well.

I hope you all enjoyed your weekends. :)

Late Update on My Weekend

I'm a little late with my update for last weekend, but better late than never.
Last week Dan and I went up north to the cabin to just kind of get away and do some fishing. We got up there Wednesday night and did all of our fishing throughout the day on Thursday. I also did some reading and tanning (well, more like a little burning). Here's the one and only fish I caught...

And Dan caught all these fish (and then some...)

We came home on Friday afternoon and hung around until late that night before heading over to our buddy's cabin in Port Sanilac. I didn't take too many pictures up there. I stayed up all night to take pictures of the sunrise on Lake Huron but it was cloudy! I managed to get a few shots anyway because I wasn't going to let my all nighter go in vain.

We made it home around dinner time on Sunday. I didn't sell much while I was gone. June has been kind of a bummer. Here's the only product I sold.

Gone Fishing

Well, not so much. Dan and I headed out to one of our state parks to go fishing earlier but we didn't have much luck. Dan caught a little one, and we had a few nibbles. I have a few pictures to share. Don't forget you can click on each picture for a larger version.

This is the first area we started fishing. We didn't catch anything here. It was weedy, and I had a few bites but that's about it.

Since I wasn't catching anything I set my pole down and ran over to snap a photo of a bunch of some geese and their "teenagers," as I call them.

We drove around the park for awhile and stopped at another area. We didn't start fishing here right away, and I decided to take a few pictures us.

Okay, okay. Enough of us. :) So then I made Dan climb in the lake and grab me some rocks so I could build a heart. It didn't come out as I had planned and I don't like the lighting in the picture. I had to keep at least one photo after all the effort he put in to get those rocks for me.

I tortured Dan enough. He was ready to start fishing again. He was convinced he'd catch something in this spot. 

I decided to sit out. Just as I turned around to go over to the picnic table to sit I saw this raccoon run up to the garbage to find food. 

Attempt #1. He pulled out a KFC bag, but couldn't find anything good. He decided to search around some more.

 

After he climbed in, he found a delicious biscuit. I caught a quick video of him running off with it. I was trying to get a video of him rummaging through the trash.

Dan became interested in the raccoon so he put his pole down and walked over. He noticed the raccoon in a tree and showed me since I couldn't find him. I thought he was long gone. I took another video of him in the tree. My favorite part is when he stopped to nibble his biscuit and stare at me.

Dan went back to fishing and I sat down on the picnic table. I was fortunate to have some geese get close enough so I could get a closer shot. They kept coming up to me and hissing at me, though. I ended up running away.

Dan finally caught a fish toward the end of the evening. It wasn't a carp like he was hoping. And it wasn't even a big fish. It was just a tiny largemouth. :)

And right before we left I took a picture of the sun setting on the lake. 

 

Despite the fact that we didn't catch many fish, we still had a good day. I hope the weather stays just as nice tomorrow because we plan on doing it again, but in a different area. It sure is good to be home.
