Well I went the entire Memorial Weekend without internet access.
It went entirely all right.  
I tried to keep myself pre-occupied fishing for the majority of the time.  I caught a lot of fish.  All out of the Mississippi River in Grand Rapids.
I was trying to find as many species as I could in preperation for a fishing contest that I am entered in that begins in June.  It is put on by www.roughfish.com.  The goal is to catch as many different kinds of fish as you can in the month of June.  These guys are advocates for fishing all types of species and not just your walleye or bass.  So I am going to give it a go, not sure how well I’ll fare, but I am sure I will have fun trying.  I managed to land 7 different species this past weekend.  At least that would be a good start.  I’ll keep it posted on how I am doing.
This actually leads me to another topic.  I thought I learned my lesson the last time I was fishing.  ALWAYS bring a camera just in case.  Well this weekend I brought my camera along, but that doesn’t do much good when the batteries are dead!  So new lesson learned: Always bring your camera WITH a freshly charged battery.

Alison and I went and saw Pirates 3 tonight, Aye, that’s right.

I thought the movie was good, maybe a little long, but good.  I think I like the first the best, then this one.  I am not going to say much about it other than if you liked the first two, you like this one and you should go see it.

 One note after the credits roll there is a little clip at the end to be seen.  Was it worth the 8 minutes of credits?  Well, I’ll let you be the judge .

I was listening to an episode of .NET Rocks! today when they gave a quick shout out to Search Dot Net.  Now i don’t know if I just missed this or what, but it is A Site For .NET Developers, they’re tagline.

 Yeah, it is pretty sweet site though, a search engine soley for .NET.  I made sure to bookmark this one.

It was another release day for our team today. I recently moved to a different team at work which has been pretty good. I like working with all the people and learning a new system. One draw back the Release time every other week at Six in the Friggin’ morning. Oh man, these are killer. Especially after you stay up the night before till 2:00 am working on a side project. I like working on this side project, it’s a site for an organization that my wife belongs to, St. Cloud Area Volunteer Coordinators. And yes I am volunteering my time for this . Man I must be tired, I am starting to ramble here. Time for a nap……

Well, Newman and I managed to get out for a couple of hours in the canoe down in Fair Haven.

I caught one bass and Newman caught a big ol’ bullhead, HA.

Newman had a nice Northern on his ultra light but somehow the pike managed to break through the 4lb test line.  We’ll be back for him.

* It was breezy to start then calmed down once the sun went down.  Partly cloudy.
