drinks, poker, ufc and fishing ... typical boy stuff...

On Friday, the boss was away for a meeting in the city. My intention was to phone him up or text him and ask if I could take off early so I could head out to Thompsons Camp for a fun-filled weekend of fishing! He ended up texting me and left a msg for me at work that there was a last minute emergency meeting at 3:00 p.m. at the office. Yeah, there goes my idea. I didn't get outta the office till 5:30ish. That didn't damper my spirits! I was still excited. I had fishing on my mind all damn day.

Right after the meeting, I went to go load up the boat, cruized home and packed up and was waiting for Candace to get to the Rez. We didn't leave the Rez till 7:30 p.m. We got to La Ronge and it was raining. We must have looked silly! It was raining, lightening, and thunder and here we were, driving around with a boat. That was when I started to get sick because I was running around in the rain. But, I really wanted that KFC! Anywhos, we trekked along to Thompsons Camp. Its a good thing that Candace packed her "Adventure Eyes" she needs them anytime she goes for a road trip with me. It was so smokey and foggy, smoggy? just past La Ronge and all the way up to Thompsons Camp. It took us forever to get up there! Every vehicle that past us, we thought, that must be the boys checking up on us because by this time it was dark already and past 10:00 p.m. But nooo. Assholes that they are, didn't even worry about us! We finally got there about 10:30ish, unpacked everything and went wandering around the camp (in the rain, again) to look for the boys cabin. Finally found them, after walking by their cabin 3-4 times!

The next day, I woke up to a cloudy, windy and rainy day! So much for fishing! I banged stuff around in the kitchen cooking breakfast for Candace and I. Sleepyhead, she got to sleep in. I didn't mind cooking. Mmmm BACON! Couple of the boys come over later on to let us know that they are gonna be playing poker at their cabin. Thats all we did on Saturday, played poker (I won $55 - WOOHOO), had a few drinks (WOOHOO AGAIN), and watched UFC (Must I repeat myself? WOOHOO!). Oooh, of course I can't forget the wonderful and most delicious steak and potatoes that Sol cooked for everyone ... Yummy!! The whole time, I was still sick with a cold. I found out though that after a few drinks my cold distappeared for awhile! I went to bed Saturday night kinda earlish.

Sunday. Bright, beautiful Sunday. Must pack up and check out, Sunday. The sun decided to grace us with her presence this day. Nine o'clock in the morning, there was banging at our day. "Taking the boat out!!" DAMN, I dressed, packed EVERYTHING up, and was checked out of the cabin in no time! Our last day there and we finally got to take out the boats!! We spent about 6 hours of good fishing time! Finally! We didn't get back home till about 7ish that evening. Still Sick. Being out on the boat probably didn't help either. I had the most fun, despite being sick.

Monday - I didn't make it to work.
Tuesday - I better make it to work. (there is only so much housework I can do before I go CrAzY) .. BBQ at the house! Fonze's BDAY!
