Sept. 30th, 2011: Mousing pt. 2

[singlepic id=2933 w=380 h=300 float=left] Things work out in interesting ways sometimes, had I not gone out with Carl two days prior I might have not fished the last day of the season which would have broken a three year tradition. Being busy with work and other obligations saw me …

May 1st, 2010 CSMP Update
