Had a very nice weekend at the lake. Weather overall was very nice. It was a little windy the first couple of days, but yesterday was about as nice as it gets. Fishing was only fair. We caught several small walleyes, but mostly it was sunfish this weekend. It was aweekend where I saw more fish caught then what I was catching. On Saturday night I was out fishing a deep edge of a sandy area when the boat not more then 50 feet from me caught what I would guess was an 8lb walleye. They took a lot of pictures and then released it. Maybe I can catch it another day! Then yesterday while my wife and I were anchored catching some nice sunfish, a boat came by that was casting for muskies. He got about 100 yards past us and catch a nice 36-40 inch muskie. It was fun watching him try and get the muskie in the net all by himself, but he did finally. When I got to lake on Thursday night, I was in for a treat! Someone had unpluged our RV. Thanks! What a fine smelly mess we found in the fridge and freezer. Some of the stuff in the freezer was already starting to mold, so it must have been quite a few days. You have to wonder what people are thinking when they do stupid things. We are somewhat isolated where we are and I don't believe that any of my neighbors would have done it. Hopefully it was a radom one time incident. My wife duct taped all around the plug so it will be a lot of work to do it again. I guess it did get us to clean out the fridge, but we had quite a bit of food stored up there. It also took all 3 days to get rid of most of the smell. Starting a new job today at The Other Bar in Foley. Foley is about a 20 minute drive from where I live. I will be the kitchen manager to start. I am excited and of course a little nervous. From my visits there they have very good food, but the kitchen is very dirty. It is always tough to go into a small town when you are an outsider and most small towns don't handle change very well. The owners brought me in to make changes, so we will have to see. I will keep you posted. Ran and played bar poker twice last week. I hadn't run a game for quite a while, so it was nice to get back into it. I have been letting my son run the games while I was starting my last new job at the Pizza Ranch. I didn't do very well in either game. The first one I was knocked out when my pocket aces were beat by Q-8. He floped top pair and called my all-in and then hit an 8 on the turn. The other game I basically got blinded out by not getting good enough cards or hitting anything during the middle part of the night. I did deal the finally tables for both and both played out almost the same. A very tight player that never changes there styles won both games. It was something to watch two tight player catch cards at the right time to win a poker tournament. It truely was every dog has his day moments. I knew everytime they had a hand heads up, by the way they played. But most players in bar poker don't pay enough attention or they lose patience when it comes to heads up and being behind. All you had to do was fold every time they bet and raised every time they didn't and eventually you would have won out. At least the guy that won the casino buy-in wife wouldn't let him go to the casino anymore and I got a cheap buy-in for myself. Maybe some day I will actually win my own. LOL! |
