Spring Break!!!!

Well everyone today was very hard to get back into my life back here in Butte. Going to Helena is always a lot different than here in Butte for me. My sleep pattern changes, and day to day operations all change. Spring Break is exactly what I needed. I was getting pretty run down from football workouts and school, but having that week off sure makes me want summer to come ASAP. Well over break I did tons of fishing. We put our boat in the water for the first time this year last week, and it was purring like a Cadillac. Before we put the boat in, we took a couple of days to do some routine maintenance on it and also installed the new fish finder that we bought dad for his birthday. This fish finder has about a thousand different options that my dad and I didn’t even begin to scratch. The first day we went fishing was on Wednesday, and we caught seventeen trout and released fifteen of them. The two I kept I gave to Ms. Abigail’s mom. Now these fish averaged around five pounds and twenty four inches. I joke you not everyone. All these fish were big, healthy fish. Thursday we caught seven trout averaging the same, and Friday we caught ten trout, and guess what? They averaged the same length and weight as the first two days. Then on Saturday, Abby’s dad and I welded me a sweet setup for my clay pigeon thrower. We welded a piece of pipe horizontally to my receiver hitch and then welded another piece of pipe vertically to that and welded my thrower to the top of the vertical pipe. We based our project on a model we found on the Internet, we didn't do exactly what it shows but pretty close. So now I can sit in the back of my truck and shoot clays. Ms. Abigail and I didn’t have the same break together so she came to Helena this past weekend and then came to Butte last night and we made tomato soup and grilled cheese. This weekend we hung out at her house on Friday night, and then on Saturday night we went over to my sister’s house and played Wii. Vance and I ended up play Tiger Woods golf. So on Wednesday my parents and I went to wing Wednesday at the Overland, and the service was terrible and the food was even worse. We have been there three times now when our waitress was drunk and the food was terrible. On our way out I grabbed a March Madness bracket to fill, out and I have all my final four teams left plus lots more. I think I might have a shot. Well everyone I hope the weather doesn’t bring you down the next few days. Have a great week!
