Ode To The Trusty Trooper

  • My 2001 Isuzu Trooper hit a milestone on Saturday morning. I hit the 100,000 mile mark. We’ve been through lots together. Here’s wishing the Trusty Trooper 100,000 more miles. (Please, Trooper, I can’t afford another car right now!)
  • We had a great birthday party for Charlie this past Saturday in Douglasville. I will have the video posted on YouTube and my blog in the morning. Make sure you check back tomorrow morning!
  • When we got home Saturday night, there was a little black cat in the woods beside my house. We quickly became the best of friends.  (I love cats.) After I gave him some tuna fish, we really were tight. You could tell he hadn’t been fed in a while. He was back last night. I fed him some food, and he really wanted inside. Right now Katie and I are discussing what to name him. She is voting for  “Kissy Fur,” and I am voting for Knowshon (after the best running back in the SEC! WOOF!) We’ll se what happens.
  • Easter services were great yesterday morning. I love Easter.
  • Katie’s back is not healed, but doing much better. The Herseys even brought us dinner last night so we wouldnt have to cook. Thanks so much!
  • I had a chance to go fishing on Friday morning with the Olesons on a private lake here in LaGrange. We caught 33 bass between us; I caught 11. Here’s a picture of one of the bass I caught:

  • I also got to fish with my brother Corey behind my in-law’s house this weekend. We probably caught about 15 total.
  • I’ve decided to work on my finesse fishing this year. Pretty much every fish I caught this weekend came on this Gary Yamamoto Fat Baby Craw in a green pumpkin color. I had these rigged on a shaky head jig. I actually used up a whole pack in 2 days. Way to go, Mr. Yamamoto!

  1. I would say your good old foreign made car is good for at least another hundred miles. BUT what is that nasty looking red thing at the end of the blog??? It looks like the kind of amoeba that crawls up in your brain and makes you do crazy things like vote Democratic…
