Dang Hulking Muscles!

So today I decided to do a little fishing out at the Steam Plant. No it's not just a big ugly Plant that produces steam, well, I mean it is, and does. But they don't contain the steam, package it, and distribute it or anything. I think it's one of those nuclear waste, cooling facilities...that might explain the giant catfish that come out of the water there. Anyhoo, It's a known fact that fishing is great out there for cats and I had never been. So today I took the 45 min drive through the country out to the river. As I pulled into the parking lot I didn't know where to begin, so I sat in the truck for a moment. I turned off the ignition, placed the keys on the console, grabbed my wallet and phone, and opened the door. As I stepped out, I put my phone and wallet in my pockets, locked the doors, and closed my door, all before I realized my keys were sitting comfortably on the console. Now, having done this 10 or 12 times before I had no fear. Although in the past, my door didn't close all the way due to a worn-out hinge. But I had recently replaced the hinges, now I began to worry. After a couple of frustrating failures I discovered that the windows on the extended cab could be pulled open slightly. I anxiously grabbed a hanger, and a piece of 1x2 lumber. I wedged the wood in the window and tried getting the hanger in but it was too short. So I tried to remove the wood to open the window more and POW!! The window shattered all over the place. Talk about pissed off. Using the hanger now was no problem though. I fished for the next couple hours. I think it was too hot, I only got a couple bites. $120 new installed, $100 if I do it myself. I will be putting it in tomorrow morning.

Manly Men or Romantic Shmoopshy Poopshy's?

The other day I heard on the radio a game for women to play for a small prize. If they were to be chosen they would then be connected to their husband's cell phone, or work phone, or wherever he was to be reached. During this three-way phone call we the listeners, and the radio station could hear the conversation, unbeknownst to the husband. Her objective was to get her husband to talk to her in the cute, baby talk that I quote, "all of us husbands do".
So, Bobbie and I were talking about this very topic just a few moments ago and decided to see who else does this. Please, do share.

Check out this web site I found.

Another beauty

Bobbie and I went fishing again and caught this little fella. Bobbie just made fun of me for posting "another" fish picture. Hey, what can I say? I like Fish!

Washington DC

I took a little trip to Washington DC this week. The Army sent me out to Walter Reed Medical Center for my back. While there I rented a car and took a look around. The one day I spent seeing the National Mall as they call it, I failed to see the White House. I was under the impression that it was located where the US Capitol is located. By the time I made it to the Capitol building I had realized that I might get my car towed. So I hurried back only to realize that I could have parked there all night if I wanted to. The Army is sending me back sometime soon and I am surely going to see it then.

Yeah fish!

I went fishing at a new location at Land Between the Lakes. As soon as I got there I threw a line out before I set up camp. I then went looking for a bell to put on it. Less than 2 minutes later my poll was bent and thrashing uncontrollably. A few minutes later I landed one of these beauties. I caught a smaller Channel but decided to throw him back. They weighed between 4 and 5 pounds.

We are still alive we promise.

We have been so busy with school and what not. We still check out the blogs pretty regularly but just haven't posted on our own. We have a lot of pictures to post so you should keep an eye out.

Bryan's latest purchase.

The blue set is how they fit together. I also just learned that the cup and bowl are both .6L and that they have measurements marked inside the wall. The stuff sack is rubber lined and can double as a wash basin. I thought that instead would be used to let muddy water settle as we do in the Grand Canyon. I have no regret buying this beauty.


I put the Pocket Rocket in to show the size of this thing. I initially bought the solo set but after receiving it I realized that it was too small containing only one bowl/cup with a sipper lid. This Dualist will suit Bobbie and I both or just me for when I go on scouting trips.

YEAH, no more laundro-mats!

We have been going to the laundry-mat since we have been married. Our nasty, dirty clothes pile up for 1-2 weeks until we can't possibly take it. Consequently, we then spend about three hours doing our laundry. It just got to be very undesirable.

Bobbie Turns 24

Bobbie with her new Quad. Her other one was so old that it's pages were falling out. She also received a Disney sheet music book. We washed it all down with some Black Forest Cake and Moose Tracks Ice Cream.

It's about time we updated

Bobbie and I recently discovered a National (CORRECTION) State Park here in Clarksville. It's only a couple of square miles but it has fishing and hiking and a small museum. It's called Dunbar Cave Park because it also has an opening to the Dunbar Cave. We have never been inside but it apparently is quite something. The crazy thing is that it is only about ten minutes away and neither one of us has ever been there. These are some photos of one of the loop trails.

Wart removal

I had my wart removed today at about 1330 and had to go around the rest of the day like this. I got a lot of good looks and had some jokes cracked on my behalf. When I got home, Bobbie started laughing harder than I have ever seen her laugh. She didn't stop till after she almost passed out.

Toys!!

Check out my newest purchase from Cabela's. The knife was on sale for $10. It feels very sturdy. The Pocket Rocket is just like Joe's.

Job Market 2009

Bobbie's Dad sent this to us. Freakin' hilarious!

Blog Virus

Is setting the Blog to private really a good idea? I have thought about it but didn't think there was too big of a threat.
For now I have the most annoying word verification thing on here at least until I feel fearless of virus'sess's. (Words that end in 's' sound funny pluralized)

Bobbie The Hair Stylist

I was getting a haircut the next day and this is the longest I have had my hair since Bobbie has known me. So we had a little fun with it. She Gelled it up and styled it.

Camping

We went camping the other weekend for our One Year Aniversery. That may seem a bit strange but it was fun. We only ended up staying for one night due to some technical difficulties with the lighters and stove. It also became very windy and it was already very cold. So we cleaned up camp and went off roading. We then had a wonderful rest of the weekend with a movie night and just enjoying being together. Lucky for us the Army gave us a four day weekend.

I figured it out!!

I started tinkering with some things trying to find out what happened or how to fix some of the problems and WAHLAH, I got the Blog back. Don't ask exactly how. The important thing is that we're back in full swing.

AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

We had a technical difficulty with our Blog. We were searching for new template and somehow everything disappeared. Everything but our posts. We couldn't figure out what happened. We couldn't fix it. And now we can't figure out how to add it all back. It seems like since I created the Blog the options have changed on how to set it all up. So if you visit this in the next few days, weeks, years, please be patient. Heck maybe you could help us out and leave your address so we don't have to go back through it all and try to find them all.
