Annual Transportation Department Ice Fishing Trip

So, its been a year now for me in Transportation. Every year they put together an ice fishing trip. I decided to go, and it turned out to be really fun! Only 2 trout were caught, and they were by the same person, but it was still fun. It was cold enough that I didn't want to hassle with trying to get in any of the photos, so they are all of friends and co-workers.






This is my Captain, he had the catch of the day- a half hot dog. I bet he frames this photo.

- I had to include this last photo. One of the guys I work with uses this set up and seems to love it... I just cant get over the fact that it seems a little red neck. Can we say double wide???

Anchor Bay Campground Video

I have attempted to explain Anchor Bay Campground to many people, without any success. It was a major part of my life growing up. We would go up at least once a year for fishing, Abalone diving, and just playing on the beach and tide pools. My parents were part of a group of people that bought the property in 2004, and made it an LLC. Now, our family has the opportunity to go up whenever we want. So thanks to my Dad(who put this video together), we have something to show everyone. It really is an amazing place, I would recommend it to anyone. Oh, and by the way Dad, wonderful work!

California Storm is Here!!!

Back to Normalcy

Its nice to have things back to normal... Ryan called me a Scrooge for taking the tree down yesterday, but can you blame me? Its nice to come into the new year without the hint that we are still celebrating Christmas. -People seem to move on from my favorite holiday(Thanksgiving) the day after its over without any problem, so why cant I do the same? Either way, its nice to be back in the swing of things... The kids are back to their normal selves.

Christmas, The Aftermath...

Well, Santa came to our house, and our children were up at 4 a.m. to open presents, so needless to say, we are a bit tired. We have had a very nice Christmas, and we were very blessed this year. Here are a few photos of the "controlled Chaos" between yesterday (Christmas Eve) and this morning. Happy Holidays!

December Photos!

December always goes by so fast, -birthdays (mine), parties, gatherings, Christmas cards, caroling- It seems to go faster and faster each year! So here are a few photos that we have taken over the last few days...
Merry Christmas

First Real Snow of 2007

Thanksgiving 2007

Thanksgiving was a success- the Turkey turned out beautifully. The white meat was just as moist as the dark, I don't think I will ever go back to cooking a Turkey ever again without Brining it. The gravy was a bit salty, but we just added a little water, and voila!

How to Deep Fry your Turkey

Im not real crazy about Alton Brown and his crazy antics, but I have always been intrigued about how to properly deep fry a turkey. So I thought I would share this episode of his while I take up some time to round up a few new photos of the family! Happy Thanksgiving!
