Joe's School (ex-Travel) Diary

This blog is a mish-mash of experiences that I have had since its inception. Orignally, it allowed me to stay in communication while overseas summer 2006 with family and friends. Now it survives as just a pulse of what happening with me and since I am back in school full time now, there isn't as much travel. Still, read, laugh, share, comment, suggest and give me the link to your blog so I can check it out. Thanks For Reading, Joe Dumesnil

Got Hook?

Class went well this week. I think Mathematical Econ is going to be the more difficult of my classes due to its heavy math and tons of variables. I am sticking around in Denver this weekend and have a couple of things on the agenda, nothing spectacular and I have class on Monday. Apparently Colorado School of Mines has conducted classes on Labor Day for years. I wanted to get these pics up of one who shall remain nameless (ymay adday for those of you who speak pig latin). This gentleman embedded a rapala hook in his thumb with true fishing expertise. Seeing as it was a barbed hook the Chief Surgeon at HHI Medical resolved to cut the thumb off.

















Just kidding, after some lidacane and wasting a perfect good lure, the hook was pushed through instead of pulled out which would have cause the bard to do more damage. Simple mistake really and could have ended up in much more damaging tissue. Thankfully not though. The good news is that this fisher informed me that this is not his casting thumb so game on for the holiday weekend.














And here is a pic of me kicking but in the Rose Hill Bass Master Father Son Invitational. My father and I came in 1st and 2nd in the tourney catching about 20 bass in a 15 hour time span. This fish having heard of the tenacious anglers opted to flop up onshore for the a photo op, instead of having a hook embedded in his lip. Just kidding, but I did catch him right near the shore tough.
Hope all is well out there for everyone. Have a good Labor Day Weekend.
