Fair-Camping-My Birthday






Not to much going on. Work is going great. Took the kids to the Fair couple of weeks ago. Went Camping a couple times. Kids loved it. June is becoming a great Fisher Woman. Eve is shying away from fishing, but loves to shoot guns. Last week was my Birthday. I am now 31 years old with a few gray hairs. Jennifer's Garden is out of control with all the things she is growing. The first Sunflower was picked today to allow the seeds to dry out. The Snow Pea's produced all the pea's they can and have been replaced with Ocra. The Corn, Peanuts, Tomato's, Bell peppers, Broccoli, Zuccini, Purpal hole Pea's, Butter beans, Potato's, Squash, Ect, Ect are doing great. Today i went for a 21 mile bicycle ride and today I replaced the dirt tires on the bike with street tires I extra. I also got out the Compound Bow and shot a few arrows and sighted in my Bow for the Deer Season. On my Birthday My Wife made me go fishing and I caught a 5 pound Large Mouth Bass who broke off 10 inch's of my Fishing Pole. Enjoy the photo's and Video's.

I placed 3rd in a pro Fishing Tournament!

A few weeks ago I was entered into a Pro Large Mouth Bass fishing Tournament (my first one). Last Friday was the Tournament at Jordan Lake, NC. I took 3rd place out of 300 people. I won some money, a really nice fishing rod and reel, and a ton of other fishing stuff. There is no other fishing like Bass Fishing. This weekend I'm going back out to the same lake to try my luck. It's only 45 Min. away. The bad thing was, everyone had to turn loose there catch after the weigh in of the fish. The two biggest bass I caught were 5 1/2 Lbs and 6 1/2 lBS. The biggest bass of the day was almost 9 pounds. I wish i got that one. I did let about a 7 lbs bass get away just as he got in the net. Oh well. I did get to see a Bald Eagle in his huge nest near the bank (really cool). Before the start, an Army Jump team did a water landing. Enjoy the Photos/video. Luke

Camping Season has arrived

Took the family to Badin lake for 4 days. It was great. Did some fishing, hiking and just some good old being a bum and having fun. Cooked dessert in the Dutch Oven my dad gave me (very good). The fishing was good. I caught an 8 pound Channel cat fish on my Pen Pole (supper small-it's made to go in your fishing bag or vest-great for fishing with lures). We also caught Blue Gill, Bass and Perch. We had Eve's birthday while camping. I got her a single shot-bolt action pink .22 cal (youth model). She love's shooting my .22 cal and loves her new one even more. We took the movie projecter and put a white sheet on the side of the camper and watched a movie after dark. Gave the kids turn's riding in the bike trailer on trails (my bike has a motor) they loved it. Even put my wife Jennifer in the trailer and gave her a ride. She was much more scared than the kids. Enjoy the photo's, video's and hope all is well with you and your families. Also built Jennifer a Green House with an Auto Watering system and one for the garden so we can Camp and her plants dont die.

WHY







Well, I have my orders in hand. I will be reporting to Fort Bragg, NC on 10 Jan 2009. I'll be leaving here on 15 Dec. 2008. Cant Wait! MY Battalion and Brigade are trying to change my orders to report in June 2009, but I dont think it will happen. There is no justification for it. Next week end I'm going to to Las Vegas again for BEST OF THE WEST. Look forward to seeing some family. The kids are great and also look forward to going to NC. X-mas will be in NC this year at Jennifers mothers house. Not looking forward to the drive.






Couple weekends ago I was camping and came upon a man who just had a Heart Attack in the camp Ground early in the morning. He was bleeding from his head and was not breathing. I started CPR and got him breathing again after about a min. He then stopped breathing again and I resumed CPR for about 45 min. until a helicopter came and got. He did have weak pulse but was not breathing. Not sure if he made it or not.






Well enjoy the photos.
