I'm TIRED! - 09/23/09 09:41 AM
My family and I are major fans of the Mel Brooks movie "Blazing Saddles"  we can recite a lot of it and do.  There's a song in it called "I'm Tired"  sung hilariously by the late Madeline Kahn. 
I keep thinking about it because I too am TIRED. 
 There is a big bunch of buyer businees out there right now and I am working very hard, I"ve worked all weekend and late most evenings.  I am going to keep right on doing that because I've been in this business long enough to know it does end!

Well we survived our audit.  Hadn't been audited for awhile and had changed bookkeepers and brokers so we knew we were due.

Fishing the Columbia! - 09/03/09 02:07 PM
We are back from what counts for us as a vacaton.  We took a Wednesday through Sunday off!  We took our boat and headed North.  We had checked out the boat ramps etc on an earlier non fishing trip.  We chose Hat Rock State Park near Umatilla Oregon.  Beautiful park and a very easy to use and safe lboat ramp.  This is the impoundment waters from McNary Dam just a few miles downriver.  It was beautiful, fishing was good but the high point of the first two days was boating all the way to Richland Washington!  Probably about 70 miles and … (0 comments)
