I love My Wife

As you all know I have made a couple of T-shirts in the past. My Wife and I were at Sportsman's yesterday and I saw a T-shirt that I just had to rip off. only it said fishing of course. So I designed a shirt for all of the husbands that are oppressed by their wives about leaving them for a few days for a trip. And here it is.
If anybody wants one let me know I'll add your moola to the order, they're about 20 bucks.

Priceless

I know this is cliche and everybody does it but I'm going to do it anyway.

Neoprene booties 30 dollars
Neoprene gloves 25 dollars
Smartwool socks 15 dollars
North Face base layer 40 dollars
Protec Helmet 70 dollars
Lotus Designs PFD 190 Dollars
Level Six Dry Suit 600 Dollars

Being comfortable in 40 degree water...


Priceless!

Summer fun

I was doing a survey in Henefer, Ut and saw a couple of commercial rafting companies taking tours down the Weber river, so I looked into it. I followed the river and found the put-in parking lot and then found the take-out parking lot. After that, I got the idea of taking my pontoon fishing boat down the river. I went up Saturday and it was a blast. There where about three small rapids and a bunch of boulders to dodge. I asked some kayakers if there are any other places around to go and they referred me to www.eddyflower.com. Logan has a link on this site. Check it out it is a way cool site.

Good Bye Lucky Hooters Hat

In our last adventure we went to the Hells Canyon where they have big white water and Class IV to V rapids. Granite Rapid, one of the biggest rapids on the river, took my pride along with my lucky Hooter's hat, which incidentally is no longer lucky. My poor wife had to be rescued because she can't swim, but we all ended up okay and nobody was hurt. I want to give a shout out to all the tour jet boats that didn't help us with our flipped over raft, other than to tells us that there was a bear close by on our side of the river. Thank you so much!
