Late afternoon fishing

We have the sportiest fishing wagon ever (my bro' 300Z)
Hmmm, Bass fishing?!
Atleast I have my "snake" gun out!

Dad catches the 1st (2nd, 3rd, and 4th) fish of the day!

The other four of us didn't catch anything but tree limbs!

It was a nice afternoon for fishing.

Dad kept the 2 largest for our supper tonight.

Travel Day

8am at John Wayne Airport

Checking out my 737 to Dallas at the gate

Just before boarding call, I realized I lost my camera bag and had to run back thru the security checkpoint to retrieve my camera from the Sheriff's lost n' found station. Just barely made it back to catch my flight to Dallas.

Flying over Newport Beach, CA on my way to Dallas.

Interesting cover article on "Life on the Mississippi" ... did they know I was flying back?!

Lunch break at Dallas Fort Worth Airport (DFW) at 2:30 local time.

I got the two meat (brisket & pulled pork) plate for lunch.

2nd flight running late but we made it to Memphis in one hour!

Flying into Memphis Airport field.

Back in Mississippi!

Getting Ready pt 5

Picked up last minute supplies at the Market.

Picked up my order of Dim Sum for home.
Spent three plus hours packing and moving all my stuff into my bedroom.
By 7pm, finally went over to my friend's house to head out for dinner.


Took my car to a friend's for safe keeping until I get back to Cali.
It was a very long day indeed!

Getting Ready pt 4



Going thru my checklist before leaving Cali.
Forwarding my mail for few months.
Had several opportunities to catch up with friends over dinner.
