Fishing Day

We've been working on the house for several days and decided it was time to take a short break. I loaded the truck up the night before to make the Monday morning departure a little easier. It was a good thought, but nothing happened except click, click, click when I turned the key to start the motor. Not wanting to waste anytime, we transferred everything to the Pilot and headed out to an eventful day of dock fishing.
All of us caught a few fish, but only one was a keeper and I gave it to one of the other fishermen sitting with us.



The keeper trout.  


Susan with the catch of the day. A 3" Mudskipper that looked more like bait instead of a catch.  


Bek with a Rock Bass,


And Jaz with the same. 

I ended up buying a new battery for the truck, but I didn't feel too bad because it was the original at nine years old.

Mud Run

Bek asked a few weeks ago if I would do the mud run on JBLM with her and I agreed. The weather was perfect and the turn out was pretty good as well. We didn't time ourselves because both of us have not done any running for quite some time and having fun was the priority. But maybe this will re-ignite the bug in me to start running again? 

Showing our guns and determination before the start. 


A little stretching before hitting the road. 


Here's Bek looking forward to the deeper stuff ahead. 


We both medalled. 


Still looking tough as ever after the race.
