| Hey Matthew! Hola from Zachland (aka Minnesota)! I had a pretty good day actually. I got up around 9 and read the news on MSN and found a story that struck deep about the rising force of fascism in our corrupt government. After that I just sat on my duff working on the site till about 11:30 or so. I had an exam scheduled for 1pm, so I figured I'd better get up and around. After taking a shower I worked on the site a little more and headed down to the bookstore before my exam. I sold back my last 2 book and was actually pleased with what I got back for them... $32.50 which isn't bad considering I only got about 50 for the other 6 books I sold back last week. Man the really know how to fuck you in college... they make you pay for lube and don't even give you a reach around. Well, enough of my incessant whining. I went in and took my speech exam after selling those books... I only spent 25 minutes on it and don't think I did all that hot, but it's only worth 5% of our total grade and I have an A in the class. I figure I probably got a high C or a low B on it so my A should be safe. If not I guess I'll just be stuck with a B... no biggie there. After taking my exam I went down to R&R Arms to have a look around. They had my old 30-30 on the shelves; they gave me 150 for it on a trade in last week... this week it's on the shelf for $225. Kinda steep considering I bought it for 180 in January, but I guess you gotta make money to keep a business going. They do have a few nice guns in there, but nothing that really catches my eye. Dad will probably pick up some reloading supplies there when he comes up for the weekend; I know he wants some powder and probably some primers, bullets, and a set or two of dies. Reloading stuff is hard to get back home, but cake to find up here. After R&R I went out and fished but I didn't catch squat and lost one of my favorite spoons, so I went down to Bluewater Sporting Goods and picked up a couple of small spoons and looked at waders. They wanted way too much for them though; I'll get them elsewhere. I went back out and fished some more after that, but to no avail. I left when some very drunk ass people showed up where I was fishing... they were highly annoying. After that I went out and spent the evening with Brent. He wants to do some fishing, so we got his motor running tonight. He has a nice old 16 foot Lund with a 15 horse Johnson on it... I'll have to take some pictures of it. Anyhoo, we're probably going out to Grant lake and power trolling for Notherns tomorrow night. Hopefully that will yield some fish... it should, fishing on Grant with a boat is nearly always a successful venture, unless you're fishing for muskies because they don't inhabit that lake. We encounterd a boatful of morons once who were adamant in the belief that Grant held monster Muskies, when in fact the biggest fish you'll ever catch on the lake is probably a 15-20 pound Northern. Oh well, let them fish for Muskies out there. Just came home after that and started working on my site... I figure I'd better do some hardcore updating since I'm moving home in a week and my computer no longer has a modem in it. My summer updates will probably be few and far between unless I do them from someone elses computer. Until we meet again fuckers... |
