Last Backing trip of the year

Brandon, Logan, Baylor, Nathan, Porter, and I went up to Indian Heaven Wilderness area for two days, We hiked into Thomas lake.  Logan was to come later, but could not find the trail head. We missed those two.

We had banks of Fog roll in all day. That did not stop the fishing. Brandon caught the first fish. I caught one on my first cast. Porter, and Nathan caught some too. We caught 13 fish and released them all. Brandon’s was the biggest, it looked like a German Brown trout.

I guess it’s because Nathan’s pants really catch the fire nicely.  I think they were a little too close to the fire.   Sorry!

The septic need to be pumped, thanks to Brandon

Thanks to Brandon, we felt the need to pump the Septic tank. It has been 10-12 years since we last had it pumped.

We had the Chimney cleaned, and some fogged windows replaced. The chimney sweep said that our chimney looked good and wasn’t bad inside. This is the first time is has been cleaned in 26 years.2012-09-14 2012-09-22 001 0012012-09-14 2012-09-22 001 0022012-09-14 2012-09-22 001 0032012-09-14 2012-09-22 001 004
