Settling In

After 3 days, 2400 miles, road closures, flooding and 2 hail storms I finally made it to Twin. As usual I didn't even get one box unloaded when Willow appeared ready to hit the water. With every river looking like the Brazos we headed to the Beav, to find every gaper and jobless Montanan pounding 2 miles of river. Of course we slipped in and almost instantly had them asking "What are they biting?"....uh...just some fly this shop guy said would work, I think it's called a prince??

So after knocking the rust off the 'ole casting arm and landing a few great fish, I commenced to unpacking and settling in. Only the finest accommodations will suffice for the Stonefly guide staff. My home, dubbed "Uncle Rico's Palace" is what one might call a classic. A classic what, I have no idea...My roommates are cool though, 3 chubby mice, Gomer, Holice and Gus and one very friendly squirrel, Waldo.

 The best part is there is a drop down guest bed, so if you are feeling froggy, jump on up!!

Well I'm off to chase some more fish around, thanks for reading and remember, if the sign says "Road Closed" there is probably a good reason why.

The start of a good thing...

Well, here it goes. Blogging. Never thought I would be doing this, much less on my own blog. But I will be leaving soon and many of you don't know what it is that I will be doing. Thats OK because I don't either!

All I know now is that graduation is May 13th and my time in Aggieland will come to a bittersweet end. I have spent 5 great years here. Best time of my life!! I wouldn't change a thing and I can't ask for more. I've met some great people, occasionally did something productive, enough to walk across that stage anyway, and will miss Texas A&M and all the tradition. But it's time for a change, time for something new. So a week or so after graduation look for my tailights heading North. I couldn't be more excited about my future and hope everyone will find their way to the high country at some point. There will always be a place to crash, a cold beer to quench your thirst, a trout to cacth, one more powder day, and the always beautiful sunset.

PEACE!
