Fishing at VBC

Well, life has become busy, mostly because of work. You will think it is because of activities because work is rewarding but not exciting to write about.

Work is rewarding because I teach service members how to work critical pieces of equipment. I help figure out the best way to do that also.

However, you will be more interested in the fishing tournament (see pictures) etc. Notice I say "fishing" tournament...not "catching" tournament. I fished for 4 hours and caught for 0 minutes:-)

The pictures include 3 fisherpeople from Florida who are on ESPN occasionally. Joe Mercurio hosted Pro Tarpn Tournament Series at one point; Sondra Rankin (Turn Up The Bass with Sondra Rankin on FOX Sports Net); and Eric Mannino (largest money-winner in redfish tournaments and hosts Get Schooled on ESPN2). Sondra is also a country western singer.

These stars came to our office area the next day, since we're from Florida too, and fished and ate grilled hamburgers etc. with us.

There is also a picture of me with a Flintstone play area that the dictator had built for kids in the background.

Scouting was fun last time. I'll be glad when I can share pictures of these kids (maybe not until I get home). They played American flag football (usually they play soccer); learned to shoot marbles; and made some crafts the last time I was able to go.

Well, enjoy the pictures. I'll try to get back soon.

Oh, I'll include a picture of a medium sandstorm. Notice that it looks like rain or fog, but it's sand and the whole world look yellow in real-life.

Take care of each other everybody!

I'm almost at the half-way mark of deployment.
