Yeah, I get to go away this weekend again. I’m really looking forward to it, the last one was so good.
And this time I can’t go with my family because they all have some concert to go to that I’m not particularly fond of so they can’t come and I get to go with a good friend. That’s even better, though I don’t want to tell my family.
We are going to take a tent and camp, as I would normally do with my family. It’s a really good tent, about 10 foot square and canvas and really good quality so worth taking. It’s heavy but I have a lighter tent that’s smaller but it’s forecast to rain and I want a good tent that will keep the rain out. You’ve got to have a good tent.
There’s going to be plenty of driving first, we leave at around 5 am Friday morning, so we get going really early. Really early, I don’t like to get up early.
As much as I hate to get up early if you’re looking forward to something you just get up and go anyway, so it’s not so much of a problem really.
Unfortunately my car is pretty old and I’ve got all my fingers and toes crossed hoping it makes it up ther4. It’s done 540,000 miles so it’ done a lot of work, but it goes fine.
Saturday will be a day of doing nothing. It’s planned that way so that’s how it is. I want to go fishing, I really like fishing, even though I’m a girl. So I’m intending to take the gear along, though it is forecast to rain. In fact I bought a new fishing rod today, because I broke my old one a while ago.
My old broken rod was one I made a long long time ago. I bought the fiberglass blank and all the runners and made it all myself and I’ve used it and used it. I was pretty impressed with myself that I managed to make my own fishing rod. Tha’ts normally a guy thing.
Ive used that fishing rod for a lot of years now, and it was a sad day when I broke it. I don’t even know how I broke it really, I was just walking through the trees and suddenly I noticed the tip of the rod broken off hanging in its own. Boy was I pissed off.
It wasn’t as if it was worth a lot of money really. It was just the sentimental value to me because I made it myself and I’d broken it. So today I went to a fishing gear shop and bought a new one and it’s good.
New fishing rods cost almost nothing. I paid about 25 bucks for a new one so not expensive really is it? But it isn’t the one I made.
I suppose they’re all made in China now, that’s why they’re so cheap. Hope it lasts. So that’s my weekend coming up soon. I hope I get a few fish and it doesn’t rain too much. Ill write about it soon. (more…)
