Well, today was not a good one for me. I started out having a great day – we went fishing at the Lake. Didn’t really expect to catch anything, but it has been so warm that getting the jon boat out sounded like a good idea. So we spent 3 hours putting worms on hooks and didn’t catch a thing. On the way back to the boat ramp, I leaned over to check the motor and PLOP! My cell phone jumped out of my pocket and went overboard. Totally my own fault – can’t even yell at anyone.

Here we are into January and we have not had “winter” yet. There has not been any snow and it is not cold – knock on wood. Not just here in Tennessee – but most of the country is having unusually warm temperatures. This morning I saw a news report that a lot of ski resorts are having trouble keeping snow on the slopes – it is not cold enough for man made snow. I find this a little troubling. Not that I can do anything about it, but I worry that the lack of snow will mean a drought for many places this spring.

Bought my new State Fishing License today. In this area you have to have a license to fish, and I agree with that as long as the monies collected go to support our wildlife and parks.
Although I can walk to the Lake from my house, there are no sidewalks and the road is pretty busy with traffic. I honestly do not feel safe walking on the side of the road. Especially on the weekends when there are all these drunk fools who have been out on the Lake drinking beer all day and then driving home.
I plan on spending the entire day at the Lake on Saturday. If you need me, you can find me there.

I’m about sick of all these people running through my neighborhood. They claim to be jogging. I say they are causing problems for the cars who should rightfully be driving the road unencumbered. If these people don’t stay on the sidewalks and out of the streets, they should get a ticket.

This weekend I have big plans for a getaway to the gulf of Mexico. I have a buddy in Pensacola who keeps a boat there and we get together a few times each year to go deep sea fishing.
It’s a long drive from here. A typical trip takes 8 hours if I drive at night and only make one stop for gas. There isn’t really any decent air service between here and Pensacola, so there’s not much else you can do but drive the 8 hours straight down Route 65.
There’s not much scenery once you get below Birmingham. Just a lot of farm fields and pine trees. So I don’t mind driving at night – less traffic and the trip seems to go faster.
