Snow and Fishing!
Well the Weather Channel had been calling for some snow, and that’s exactly what we got. I just arrived from Helena for the weekend and I had to shovel my sidewalk; we had around an inch of snow. Friday after class (and a quick game of Madden), I went home for the weekend to fish at the Silos ice fishing derby. After arriving in Helena, my mother had dinner waiting for me and we ate. Then I went over to my sister’s house to play Wii and ended up playing my sister’s boyfriend, Vance, in Madden. I beat him, of course, but he just bought the game and I’ve been playing a lot lately, so I’m well practiced up. Saturday was the big derby day, and to put it mildly, it was freezing. No, wait, beyond freezing. The wind was howling, and the temperature was in the negative teens. It was so cold outside that if you took your gloves off for more than thirty seconds your hands would hurt from the conditions. On the up side, we did very well catching around forty Perch but didn’t take anything home from derby other than our forty Perch. This week we start our mandatory lifting for football. Now last year this helped out a lot. I love working out, but there’s something about having the coaches pushing us that just seems to help out. Last year I got a lot stronger from this, and I plan on doing the same this time. Well on Tuesday I’m showing around a new addition to the Montana Tech football program. He signed with us last week and will be coming over from Helena to have his first visit of our school. Well I’ll check back in later this week!
