Pink Ice

Pink Ice

Well this is from a couple of weeks ago and again it doesn't have to do with hunting or fishing but it is a sporting event which is a manly event and it was for a good cause. We along with the Harpers went to the Tri-city Americans hockey game. It was Breast Cancer Awareness Night, therefor everything was pink even the ice.

It was a pretty cool night it got started off right with some Mongolian BBQ then to the game. At the start of course they have the Canadian and American national anthem, OK you say whats so special about that? Well it was played by a younger girl probably 10-12yrs old. She played both on the violin and it was awesome! She played the songs perfectly, one thing that I liked about it was that she played them the way they are suppose to be played she didn't embellish any or add her own little flair she just played the song and let it speak for its self, beautiful absolutely(said with a Rocky accent) beautiful.

I was all excited to try and get a game jersey they were black and pink and pretty cool looking. So I am thinking well I will bid on one and hope for the best, all the money went to Susan G. Komen so it was for a good cause. Well I didn't even bid opening bid was $250.00, more than this boy has! Closing bids all went for $750.00+, I understand. A quick question who has that kind of money? I was a little conflicted all the money went to a good cause so you would like them to make a lot but man it would be nice to make it so the little guy could get one.

Anyway a good game the Am's lost but the hockey was good and yes there was a couple of fights, which I feel we won.

Nice picture Kim!

Super Bowl party!

So the Superbowl was yesterday the Cardinals vs. the Steelers. It was a good game, at first it looked to be a blow out but the Cards came back and made a good game of it. My opinion the better team won but the Refs got a little to involved for my liking it was starting to look like Super Bowl XL all over again. The officials made some calls that I thought were marginal at best in the Steelers favor. Especially at the very end the fumble by Warner should have been reviewed, it was not a fumble sports fans the arm was moving forward!

But now for the more important part, the party, we had the Gonzalez family, Harris family. and the Harper family over. What a house full, the Harris's have 3 boys plus the Harper's 2 and lastly our 2 made for a lot of crazy kids running around and poor Adina very out numbered! We had a dang good time though and a lot of food I smoked a 16lbs brisket which turned out great and we made famous aunt Cathy BB Que sauce. Others brought lots of good stuff and everyone left stuffed.

So a good Super Bowl Party, good game, good food, and good friends what more could you ask for.

Last minute Suzie!

So the hunting season came to and end! After 4 months of hunting various things its over for another year.

The last day of duck season with about 2-3 minutes left of shooting light I was sitting in a layout blind watching 1,000's of ducks circling the field I was laying in, just out of range! Finally I decide I had to at least shoot one last time before closing time so I jumped out picked out a duck led it pretty far and pulled the trigger! down she came a hen Mallard. That was the last shot I fired for the season as time had ran out. It was a good season, I forgot how much fun duck and goose hunting could be. There was some pretty cold days and some days of not shooting anything but there was also some days of good friends and limits! So to the '08-'09 season I bid thee adieu.

Let the FISHING begin!
