NIMMO BAY FISHING BLOG

she ain't pretty, but she works....

Oh boy!  Where to begin with this.  I was getting the Camry’s winter tires on this morning, and I’ve been told that my brakes are on their last legs.  Now let me tell you that I am not exactly the most mechanically talented man in the world, but I could hold my own in a monkeywrench contest.  So anyhow, the young fellow there at the Canadian Tire says that I got maybe another month on them there brakes.  Let me tell you, it’s going to cost me some money, but you know what they say about Life – she ain’t cheap.

Sheesh, the ol’pension from the mill just ain’t going as far as it used to.  Thankfully in 14 years the most expensive thing that ol’car has cost me is $300 dollars for a timing belt.

So this past weekend Gary and Dianne came for a visit with the kids.  Carol made Gary’s favourite supper and I can’t say I was complaining (Roast Beef with all the trimmings).  Boy it sure was nice to see them, and the kids sure have grown.  Eric must be damn near my height and I’d love to go see one of his games before the hockey season’s through.

So as you an imagine, me and Gar slipped out for a little fishing.  Gar sure caught a big ol’ salmon and we all enjoyed it BBQ that night.  Boy was I proud, and if I was a little less proud I probably would have cried.

Anyhow, the visit was to short in my opinion, but it sure was good seeing those folks.  I’ll keep you posted if things change but for now, fishing is what I’m all about.

Welcome to a new endeavour for me… blogging!  Yah I can’t imagine what my kids are thinking of their old Dad leaping into this digital age, especially one as old time’y as their Pa.  Ah well, as I’ve always said, you have to try new things, and this is most definitely new to me.

So why am I blogging you ask?  Well it’s to cover this here wonderful world of fishing in BC.  I’ve been fishing for years, and it’s amazing what all those year of accumulated experience can yield in terms of wisdom.  So enjoy this little tidbits intermingled with the occasional information about my family.  I hope you enjoy, but for now, Pete is out.
