Fishin’ Huntin’ and Beauty School

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Some guys are made for fishin’ and huntin’ and some guys are, well not. I’ve this good friend that I’ll call Buddy. Buddy always fixes his hair EVEN when we’re just headed out to the lake. Seems he thinks he might meet a fishin’ lady and he wants to look his best at all times.

Buddy’s a little different than my other fishin’ buds, he’s a little more ‘artistic’ if you will. He believes in ‘individual expression’, Man, can’t believe I’m saying this. He’s even expressed interest in going to  beauty school.

I had to ask him ‘exactly’ what that meant. He was way over my head when he told me that he wanted to learn how to ‘do’ hair.

I had to ask, “You mean, like how to do a buzz cut?”

“No man, I want to do ladies hair.”

Right then and there he lost me. Couldn’t imagine why my fishin’ bud would want to do that. I had ‘strange’ thoughts and wondered about all those weekend long fishin’ trips we’d been on.

He elaborated: “I want to bring my talents out, learn about cuts that flatter and products that help hair do what you want it to, about the right colors for the right skintones.”

Then I noticed his big old grin.

“Had ya, there, didn’t I? I just want to meet women! Lots of women!

We both had a big guffaw over that one. Only thing is, he was serious. He’s headed there this fall with the intention of learning all he can, so he can get his hands on women.

I just shook my head. Some guys will do anything.

California Dreamin’ (of fishin’)

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

All the leaves are brown…..
and the sky is gray…..
I’ve been for a walk
on a winter’s day
I’d be safe and warm
if I was in LA
California Dreamin’
California Fishin’…..

OK – so that’s not really how it goes! LOL

But there is a lot of good fishin in California, ever been around Staybridge Palmdale CA?

Palmdale has this aquaduct flowing through it – I know, I know, WHO fishes in a cement river?

Well, don’t discount it – there’s plenty of big old fish in there! Stripers and catfish! :)

If you really don’t want to try cement river fishin’ you can always check out some of the local lakes, like Elizabeth Lake. It’s just 10 miles west of Palmdale. You need an adventure pass and it’s day fishing only… but heck, you probably want to stay in one of the antelope valley hotels or a lancaster california hotel then get up in the morning and try another lake. Like say, the Antelope Valley Reservoir.

If you’re in the area you’ll want to check out as many fishing holes as you can find. Check out the Apollo Park Lakes, each named after astronauts. They’re popular fishing hole located in the middle of the desert.

There’s no shortage of fishing spots and they’re all certain to get you California Dreamin’ (of fishin’)
