Anyone seen Fishfinder????

Somebody check his garage and see if is trapped under a pile of rubble. I know he has been doing some garage remodeling but I haven't seen him post on the blog lately. I wonder how many minnow buckets, worm containers, stringers and taildancers he found.

Some more math

77 / 7 = 11 - Weeks left until we hit the road.

875 * 1.05 = 918.75 - I don't think I need to put this in print.

1700 / 15 * 3 * 4 - 400 / 10 = 96 bucks per man in gas if we left today.

We could really use something to turn in our favor between now and July 15th. :)

The diet suffered...

Mom's Easter dinner, kid's Easter baskets, my lack of willpower - All led to me not losing any weight this week. I didn't gain any...but I didn't lose any either. I will right the ship this week. 11 weeks left. Need to lose about 2.5 a week.

What the......

This trip seems to have just gotten more expensive for me and it has nothing to with anything in Canada. I am currently blaming Troy but I am sure it will all get sorted out at the meeting.

For the Young Guys....

Smoothest flight you will ever be on.

News From Richard

Dad and I talked to Richard today. Read the comment from Camp Director for more information.

You are all going to lose

I am the best fisherman and the rest of you are playing for second place.

My first setback

Well I didn't do very well at my weigh in tonight. I gained 1.5 pounds. I need to get back on the ball this week. There is a $50.00 contest to see who can loose the most weight over Easter week.

Additional Beer Update

I was down 4.5 pounds this week. I also logged about 6 miles running this week. Not only am I going the right direction to be able to bring an extra case, but I will also be in better shape to get it up the hill. Andy, Connor, Harris, and Cody should appreciate my efforts. Hope everybody has a great week. 12 weeks from Fri. Time is flying by.

Still on this diet

Well I know you guys are on the edge of you seats waiting for my weekly diet report. I bet you have been wondering why I haven't posted my weigh in results over the past couple of weeks. Well it is your lucky day because me and my fat ass are beck. I hadn't posted recentley because we went to Disney World 2 weeks ago and I missed the weigh in. Last week I was back on the scale regretting all of those prepaid Disney meals and desserts, but was surrprised to have lost 1 pound while on vacation. I guess all of that walking must have helped. This week I lost 4 pounds. That brings my total to 18 thru 7 weeks. 13 more weeks left and I would like to pick up the pace a little. See everyone at the meeting.

<-------Double Digits....

Work/Relax trip to DC was not kind

But my workout/weightloss just got serious. Biggest Loser competition started today at work and I paid my registration fee for a 5k in June. No turning back now....

Camp Director seen???

Is the Camp Director spending his retirement with his feet up or is he planning a date for a Canada Meeting? As of tomorrow there will be double digit days left. It'll be here before you know it. A trip like this takes a lot of planning. Has anyone ever been there before? :)

Early Run at Canada

Just returned from our friendly neighbor to the north. It was a little hard to visit Canada without wetting a line, but it did get me in the mood for the trip in July. I must say, the Duty Free store at Niagara Falls is a lot bigger and nicer than the one in Michigan. I managed to drink a case of Blue Light, but I couldn't find a Hot Hamburg anywhere. Just over 100 days until we make our trip to the Great White North. I feel something special might happen this year- maybe Ryan might catch a pot winner, Uncle Steve might win a card game, and maybe, just maybe the three young boys will have the time of their lives.

passports

Heads up for J.J.- You probably already know this , but just in case, you need a passport for this trip. My son-in-law,Theron, applied for his this week and it made me wonder if you were aware of that requirement. Thanks to Troy I now know where mine is. I'm sure glad Patty didn't decide to get rid of that van after our last trip.
