Under the Rino bus

2009-03-05T22:19:00.000-08:00

Well it was ground hog day at camp victory everyday for a long time and one day it suddenly change. I came in in work and was told I was going to the IZ (International Zone) but they did not know when. Well the plans changed and I came in the next day at 7pm and they said you are leaving for the IZ midday the next day. So that night I backup my computer profile and went home and packed up my hooch and now I am at FOB union. When they gave back the palace in the IZ everyone that was working there had to move somewhere. That somewhere is FOB union. One of my coworkers Ed said he didn't want to go so I got to go. That is how I got under the Rino Bus. The Rino above is troop transport convoy style to the IZ. Its an armoured bus and it travels with other troops in MRAPs. It does not take long and your there. My guess is I will have more to blog about now. Fob union is close to the new Iraq embassy. My department is still trying to find a suitable place to setup a new office. Tina the deal maker is working at getting us a place in FOB Prosperity so hopefully we are getting a place today or tomorrow.

DVD review: Lefty Kreh on Fly Casting

2009-02-12T15:24:00.001-08:00

Lefty Kreh loves to teach fly casting. In his DVD Lefty Kreh on Fly Casting, he will amaze you with how simple Fly Casting can be. Lefty shows you basic casting techniques, like roll casting and his famous long distance roll cast. I have this DVD and I can’t really cast without thinking about left telling me to keep my elbow on the shelf. Learning to Fly Cast takes time on the grass to get it right. Lefty will say you time and give you training techniques for that grass casting. He is the best teacher of fly casting I have ever seen.

Lefty Kreh is perhaps the best known and most respected fly-casting instructor and fly-fishing author in the world. Growing up in Maryland during the Depression, Lefty learned to fish and trap to put food on the table, earning a reputation as an accomplished fisherman while still a youngster. In 1947 he met Joe Brooks, the man who became his lifelong mentor and companion.

He has received numerous awards and accolades: Fly Rod & Reel’s “Angler of the Year,“ the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Sportfishing Association, and IGFA’s Elwood K. Harry Fellowship Award, all in 1997, and is a member of the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame, the Fly Fishing Hall of Fame, charter member of Saltwater Flyrodders of America, Senior Advisor to Trout Unlimited and
The Federation of Fly Fishers, and founding member of Bonefish & Tarpon Unlimited.

I hope you enjoy this DVD as much as I do.
