Muckhead's Chronicle

Good Start

A good start to Steelhead fishing this year. I went out with my best friend Chris and made ONE cast and caught my first Steelhead of the season. IT was awesome, and to beat all Chris gets one two casts after that so we both bonus today!

Of course I can't tell you where I caught it other than "in the mouth" as it is a sacred spot that we were at. This type of information is worth gold to the fishing populace.

Struck Me as Funny

Saw this one today, struck me as funny.

Brutal workout this morning, but then again lower body always is. I was talking to a lady this morning, she was commenting how she had a chat with David Ford our top Olympic Kayaker that trains out of Chilliwack and works out at the Cheam Centre. He had told her after she commented at how he looked like he was working harder that most, "it is work for me, if I was here to have fun I wouldn't stand a chance". I kind of feel that way sometimes because the workout routine I am doing now has me sweating for almost 3 hours, others come and do their routines and leave, and I am still there sweating away. Then again it is work to me right now.

Well off to get more shopping done today, braving the savage hordes that crowd the malls

Xmas Hockey

Last night I took the kids to watch the Chilliwack Chiefs play. We have been going lately because of the lack of NHL Hockey. It was a special night as they had Santa at the front door (hence the picture of Marlee on Santa's knee), and although it took a bit of coaxing, we got a picture of Marlee on his knee.

It was also Teddy Bear night, a thing the Chiefs do at Xmas, or at least this year. Everyone was encouraged to bring a Teddy Bear to the game. Once the Chiefs score their first goal you were to through your Teddy onto the ice to be collected for needy children. Note the picture here of them cleaning the ice, apparently there was 700+ Teddy Bears thrown into the ice. Of course we brought ours (the bag I am holding in the first picture), I just had to lift Marlee up high enough for her to get it over the glass.

There was one thing that disturbed me though. There was this big scary guy who brought a little girl with him (thought it was his daughter), to the game, and sat in front of us before the game. He buggered off and left the little girl, ALONE. I couldn't do that. So here we are with popcorn and Cotton Candy and Drinks. Well the kids and I got talking with the girl, turns out it was her Uncle that brought her, and we ended up buying her some cotton candy. I felt sorry for her; I mean you don't leave a little girl by herself in public. I got her to find her uncle before allowing her to have the cotton candy though, didn't want to get in shit.

The funny thing is though, she got a prize! They drop gift certificates from a miniture blimp in Prospera Centre . When one was dropped near us into a crowd of kids she came out of the pile and sat down in front of us. She then looked back at us and said "pssst, looky here", and proceeded to pull the gift certificate out of her sleeve. She had gotten it, and was smart enough to hide it and move away. The kids were still dog piled looking for it when she was showing us her prize. RIGHT ON!

I Want iPod

I know not many people read my site, but the people in my life that are important to me do. So, why not put up an official request for a Xmas gift?

Well for those that know me I could quite possibly be the biggest kid they know, apart from me behaving like one , I do like what all other kids like, and that is TOYS.

So, for certain people that are really close, I just want to pass on that an iPod , iPod U2 Special Edition , or even an iPod Mini would be an Excellent Xmas Gift.

I don't usually ask for much from others when it comes to gifts because Xmas to me is about giving, and I LOVE to give. The look in children’s eyes when they open a gift is truly special. Tis is what it is all about for me, to look into a persons eyes, you see so much.

So there it is, I am full of it today (third post), so I figured what the heck. Please not that this post is intended for family member (hint hint).

Quote for the Month

NEVER GET A NOSE BLEED WHEN SLEEPING WITH A GRIZZLY!

I had the weirdest dream last night where I was sleeping in the wilderness, possibly hiking or camping, and I was freezing cold. A bear curled up beside me in the middle of the night and kept me warm. At some point I had an irritation in my mouth and picked my teeth with a straw from my pocket. I dropped the straw which apparently had some blood from my gum.

The straw landed on the Bear's nose awaking him INSTANTLY, and obviously arousing his primal urge to hunt, kill, devour. He started sniffing then licking the straw, then in a final act of terror, he stared me eye to eye as he was obviously picking up the smell from my mouth of the fresh delicious blood. The last thing I heard before i woke up was what I believe to be the rumbling of his stomach.

Weird huh? Well not really, I have been plagued by Bear dreams. I know an individual that knows local Shaman and they say the woods in this area are filled with Bear Magic from thousands of years ago, and that the Bear is a very predominant figure in dreams.

A Shard a Day...

Keeps the doctor away?

Not a good way to start the day, I am getting changed for the gym and I step down on a shard of glass driving it about 1/2 cm into my heel. After digging with my Buck knife and a pair of pliers for 5 min I managed to get it out.

I guess the positive in it is that I found the shard of glass and not either of the kids or the rest of the household for that matter. I would rather be the one to find it, so I guess a shard a day does keep the doctor away in a sense. There is no way the kids would let me dig away with my buck knife.

New Computie

All I want for Christmas is a New Computie.

Well not really, but for those of you who are looking, here is an advertisement once run by the RAND computer company. Look like they had the future in mind.

Hehe
