Fishin'

Well, yesterday I went on my first fishin' trip of the year. A great day all in all. Chris and I headed out at the butt crack of nine and Jim came out at about one thirty. They did however tease me about my fishin' hat... Chris named it "Shakira". The fish were not jumping in the boat but we brought home four nice trout. (troutacos with salsa verde will probably arrive tonight) Chris, the poor bastard, fell in when we were pulling the boat out. I however, only got ripped by one hook and broke one of my poles. Still it is better than a day at work. Good thing I had a spare.

Ka'ano'i

My skin outside the door

Feeling a need to push forward for spring I bar-b-qued this weekend. Crazy I guess since it has been snowing and all that cold... Well, I made a nice whole grain pasta salad with roasted red & yellow peppers, Pepperoncini and marinated mushrooms. Q-ed some steak and had a nice green salad. The Amber was not bad either...

Spring is finally here...

I Had a great time today. . . Wandered a little bit of the Centenial trail with Chris. We wandered around by the river. Talked about cayaks. Priced cayaks at Joes. I even got to spend about a half an hour jumping on the trampoline with my nephew. In the end we settled in for a bar-b-que. . .

Couple of Yahoos watching the barbie...

It doesnt get much better than an ice cold Carona, some green Tabasco and an oyster hot of the -que...

Behold the wonder.

Just a little butter, scallion and Tabasco and its down the hatch

This is my plate. Shrimp, oysters, steak (teriyaki and regular), crusty garlic bread, fire roasted pasilla chili, grilled asparagus, grilled scallion, radishes, olives and a delicious pasta salad. Now I am beered, fed and rather content. . . All in all a rather good day.
