So, I went to the Show yesterday with my son. As soon as we got there he wanted to fish. He heard there was a swimmin' pool full of trout, and he wanted some.
He decided to let his first two swim away, so he could come back later and bonk off two more. Good choice kid. He got to watch me release his first two fish without taking them outta the water, and he got the step by step from his old man on how to do it right. After he got his two fish in, in the a.m., we did the rest of the Show. Walking around got to meet the fine folks from Thomas Creek Outfitters, hookdanook, and Kodiak. Got the boy into some prospecting...bought a pile of sand that he could "pan" in a big bathtub. Words can't describe the look on his face when he saw those little gold flakes on the bottom of the pan!! We bottled his gold, and he carried it in his hand the rest of the time...until it was time to fish some more, then he was all about the fishin'!
I don't think he can concentrate any harder....

And the fourth and final fish of the day. He wanted to hold it up before I gave it a bonk. This picture took about 5 minutes to take...slippery little sucker...
After the last fish, got the phone call that Superdad was needed at home, so we had to turn tail, and burn rubber outta there. Saw Arctic and Os at TCO's booth. I tried to stop and shoot the bull, but I could feel my leash getting tighter and tighter. So I resisted the urge to stop and join the bull session. But on the way out, outta the corner of my eye, I spy one of these....
Someday...
So who all is going tomorrow? Im stoked to get back down there. Ive already got most of my seminars written down that I want to catch. One thing I know for sure, is I WILL be riding public transportation there!! Traffic was insane! I tried to get there early thinking that I could beat the traffic...WRONG! So...Yellow line here I come....
