Jay’s Life

I went fly fishing yesterday for the first time; Carl and Ronda took me. I got some bites but didn’t land anything. Both Carl and Ronda caught one. I did manage to get better at casting, and placing my fly where I wanted. Maybe I’ll luck out better next time.

Happie came along too and spent the time playing around in the river, as long as the water wasn’t too deep.

Well, the new year is upon me and I’m still sick. Have been since the 31st. Missed going to kiss Staysea at new years. But I did get to see Ian and Emily’s beautiful daughters, as they were kind enough to drop by.

It’s been a while since I posted. I don’t know why. I’ll try to do better in the new year. Might even make this a private blog, not sure yet.

I went to my first real concert tonight, Metallica! Lots of great songs from my teenage years, and some new ones. It was awesome to sing Enter Sandman, while the band played it live. It was a lot of fun and probably the only time I’ll go to a concert for a big name band.

The simple reason, is that I couldn’t get out of the back of my mind that I paid $100 for a ticket to watch 4 millionaires do what they really seem to love to do.

It was still amazing though, and a lot of fun, and off my bucket list.

That used to have dip in it.

This morning Alison delivered a 6lb 15oz baby girl. Mom, baby and Dad are doing well. Now they just have to pick a name.

Apparently Oracle is at the end of the rainbow.

My new bike bag means that today I was able to drive through at Timmys and get my begal. Joys!

So today 12:01 EST, Facebook let you pick a custom URL. I didn’t manage o grab Jason, I did mange to get Jason.McLeod. So you can check out my facebook at facebook.com/Jason.McLeod

It’s amazing just how much better a bike runs with a new battery and fresh spark plugs.  Especially when they are the right spark plugs. Starts up cold just as well as my car. Now it just needs to warm a wee bit.

Just an FYI to anyone buying a used bike, make sure you take a good look at the part numbers on the bike you’re buying.  Some people use the wrong ones, and will only cause you heartache in the future.

Picked up the new battery for my Bike today, and with the weather warmer than it has been since ‘74 I got to go for a ride. Staysea was kind enough to pickup some spark plugs as a surprise, when I mentioned that might be why it wasn’t starting earlier. No need for the plugs yet though, she started up with a deafening backfire that scared the crap out of the cat.

Rain tomorrow, maybe I’ll get to go out again Sunday.
