anybody got a crane i could borrow ?

i cannot move today. i think i have waaay overdone it this passed week or two, and i must stop. my body is screaming at me over my stupidity , and has been since last night . ooooh. where is that truck that hit me??

ok.. as for the tournament ??? it didn't go so well for us . some people did pretty good, but not many. but the biggest sack was almost ten pounds, and the big bass was almost five pounds.. (that was the same guy) we didn't stick around for the results of who got paid-- but i imagine that guy got first. anyhow-- we weighed a bag of 2 fish lol -- both caught by soulman.. one barely measured legal.. just over 14 inches. and the second was a small spot. our total weight was just shy of 2 pounds. we only weighed just for fun, we knew we didn't have a chance.
right after we weighed our fish we left. we had never been so ready to leave a tournament. usually it's one or the other-- and usually it's him.. last night it was both of us, and for once , i think i was ready to leave before he was. my back locked up on me before we were into the second hour. once that happened, it was pretty much over for me. i tried to sit down and fish.. and that's a huge pain the ass. plus it was windy again, so we were both gettin hang up after hang up-- which is also a huge pain in the ass. usually we try to get out of em, and save the tackle.. we were so --- whatever-- not into it i guess, we got to the point that we would just break our line off or cut it, rather than fight with it. strange night.
as for me, i caught 2, maybe three fish-- too small to weigh-- i guess it was two-- one itty bitty bass..and a perch. the bass made us laugh. ignore the hair-- but here he is:


so anyhow-- yep... i really must take a break from fishin. it is gonna be very hard for me to do that. i woke up this morning in more pain than i have been in in a while. everywhere. and so tired too. i just can't be this physical, every damn day. it's wearin on me.
brad mentioned that it was a good thing i aint gamblin..... how true that is. my mom was into gambling-- i think that's the only reason i'm careful about that. i do have fun when i gamble , but boy-- it scares me. seriously. i could get addicted to just about anything. but i watched my mom do some really crazy shit in order to gamble... and i watched her suffer for it too. so i suppose fishin is a lot safer -- at least for my family. i'm payin for it now tho. i may end up havin hubby take my fishin stuff to storage for a week or two tho LOL.. at least until my body can get some rest. talk about intervention lol.

soooo.... ya... even tho he was tired, and i was in pain, we had fun, but it was a tough one for both of us. if we were smart we woulda just packed it up and left early-- but of course there was money on the line. we paid to fish, and sometimes when the fish aren't bitin, even one fish could win it all.. ya just never know . so we stayed. i think we may take a break for a while tho. but-- we will see about that.
i know for now-- i need to slow down for a while. lest i collapse. or cry.

AC this means it's YOUR turn for me to fish thru YOU-- get out there !!!

thanks for the good luck wishes everybody-- sometimes it just aint our turn.

but hey-- some of the guys out there are startin to get used to me.. a couple even were nice to me :))

see you folks later-- my computer is loaded with viruses or somethin and i have to figure out how to fix it... "corrupt files".. anyone know??? i have windows vista.. HELP ???

happy satahday

Please stop and get some rest!

oh noos! The pressure is on ME now. I don't know if I can hang... HA! But I will try.

Send your fishing stuff over here. I'll take care of it for you.

SOUL said...

If you have virus protection on your system, you probably don't have a virus. You may have some adware. Spybot Search and Destroy is a free program thats pretty good at finding and getting rid of all that garbage. Google it and it'll show you where you can download it. I've been told that Windows Vista is horrible. You'd do better to go back to XP, which is a lot more stable...but thats a lot of trouble. I'm still running Windows 2000 Professional because I've never crashed it in all these years. But eventually I'm going to have to buy another computer and I'm afraid of what operating system I'll have to use...I usually have a computer built for me so if I can, I will get XP, as 2000 won't be supported much longer (its how they force you into buying newer stuff). Sorry you didn't do well fishing and also sorry that you're all hurtin'. Take it easy for a few days and hopefully you'll be good as you can be. We're gettin' storms up here and I'm so stiff I can barely move. I am thinking a lot of my aches are weather related. Take care...hugs, Charlotte

Cheryl said...

Sorry it didn't go so well. Now rest up, OK? So you can fish again soon. You know you need to.

Portia said...

Well, you win some, you lose some. At least you got out there and can't regret not going. And now the body says rest, so sounds like rest it is:) I hope you feel better and have a relaxing rest of the weekend..
nananazzzzzzz..:)

SOUL said...

laterz

SOUL said...

heya cheryl-- i'm not gettin much of a choice to rest today-- i have slept half the day today- if not more-- and not on purpose-- i kept fallin asleep while doin stuff--- balancing my checkbook.. cruisin... readin the newspaper... it's not right. :))

guess it's pizza for dinner.. i needed to get groceries today and didn't get out of the house.

hope you had a more eventful day.
laterz

SOUL said...

hey portia--

BTW---
the batmobile could go 10 hours --
it's the bat that would have a problem...

nanananana(zzzz) lol

The Real Mother Hen said...

Ahhhh... take care Soul.
On the bright side, at least you had some real fun before the back started to hurt. I worked, had no fun, and yet my back went too!
Now I wish there is a divine intervention taking the work away from me!!! :)

SOUL said...

mothaaa---

you poor lil hen... :(
make hubby intervene for you and cook dinner tonight--- then send him over here to cook dinner for us :)))

hope you get feelin better--

what is this anyhow--the revenge of the bad backs?

c ya latah-

Mary said...

Everyone take care - there is an epidemic of backs not being user friendly. Soul, I'm so sorry that the evening of fishing you were looking forward to didn't measure up. Hope you have meds that will give some relief. I spent the whole afternoon sleeping after taking a Lortab and a Robaxin. I believe my back feels better but I ain't-a-pushin-it. I hope youfeel better after a day of staying as still as you can.

ac said...

Didn't get to fish yesterday. May later tonight. To early to say. Are you still in the chair? You better be! Close your eyes. You are getting sleepy. Very very sleepy. Now... Send ac the fishing stuff.

EE said...

Hey! I don't think I've ever gone this long without coming over here...I miss you!!!
Sorry about your computer troubles. My kid's computer is kaput, and my wireless is not working unless hooked directly up to the router in the basement...a big pain in the as@!
That little guy is a cute one. Too bad you had to throw him back!!!

Karen said...

Gawd I went to bed and there was no post yet (at 1am) and now i get up at 7.30am and there's a post and 13 comments. No wonder I can't keep up with you girl.

Sorry about the fishing and even sorrier about your back. I suppose the weather is too hot there now for a nice, deep, long hot bath? I always find that helps. Well til it's time to get out of the bath (I have a spa bath and it's DEEP) then hubby has to set up a block and tackle to winch me out...LOL.


Hope you manage to get something yummy to eat. If your tummy feels good the rest of the body parts will often follow. OK I just made that up but you never know.

Have a great Sunday (tomorrow).

mosiacmind said...

Hi...I hope that you are resting your back and not trying to pick up things and such. I think when I read your post it would be fun to try to fish again but with using the cane and sometimes the walker and not being able to stand and on and on trying not to whine but it does sound fun....It is great that you both seem to enjoy it. Hope that you have a good rest of the weekend........

mosiacmind said...

Oh and thanks for stopping by...I was hoping that you would

SOUL said...

hey mary--
glad you had meds for your back--
i took 1/3 of the muscle relaxer from hell after fishing friday night-- and i think that's what put me in a coma all day yesterday -- so i avoided any meds yesterday--- i can't take any asprin anymore-- so didn't take anything til bedtime. it was rough. but i survived. sorta. guess i just gotta toughen up, and rough it. at least a few more weeks til i see my dr again. you know how i love docs.

i hope we all are a bit more pain free today-- altho i woke with mine again today-- i'm hoping it will losen up some-- it sometimes does, as i get movin-- i just couldn't move yesterday :))

have a good day today-

SOUL said...

ac-- nice try--

you'll have to pry it outta my cold dead hands tho-- :))

as i sit here-- grouchy, and stiff necked, in pain.. with a list of things to do two pages long-- whaddaya think i want to do-- yep you guessed it-- i want to be at the pond when the sun comes comes up!
will i be there?
it's very possible.

i am a sick sick woman.
but in a good way.
i hope.
:))
happy sunday!

SOUL said...

erin-- you haven't -- what's up with that? i was worried about ya--
i miss you too--

this computer is gonna kill me-- or i'm gonna kill it- every day sometin new happens to it--
i know you've been havin problems with yours for a long time too.
lets just take em out in the desert somewhere and shoot em.

and the fishy-- i know-- if i had a giant aquariaum, i should try to raise bass like this and watch how they grow and eat and all that... then i could learn how to catch em better :))

happy sunday!

SOUL said...

hey gypsy--

i know-- one minute no one is talkin to me and then it seems everyone comes in at once- it's funny.

as for the long hot bath-- i would love one.. but the tub in this house sucks. both of them actually. we had a huge one in the house we moved from.. with jets. this one has no water pressure--or jets-- plus by the time it fills up--the water is cold. i don't even bother. :((
but i like the winch thing-- cuz there are days-- like yesterday-- i sure woulda needed one for me too-- :))

as for dinner-- it was good.. what made it better was that hubby cooked it.. i didn't have it in me.
hopefully today i will come back to life. :))

must be monday for you?
hope it doesn't feel like it-
hope it's good --for a monday-

SOUL said...

mornin MM

ya, you'd think i woulda had all the rest i'd need for my back.. but it doesn't feel too great this mornin-- maybe i had too much rest. is there a happy medium somewhere?

i need to go to rehab for fisherman addicts !! they do have video games of bass fishing-- i could fish right here at home.. lol.
you could too btw. maybe we could compete online-- how's that? LOL
oh lawd.

what will i do with myself.

the sun will be up in 45 minutes.. my house is a wreck
the child is gone
hubby is going to work

i should clean
but
no one would know if i went for an hour

isn't that like sneakin out to the garage for a swig?
LOL

hmmmm. :))

i hope you get out today, and do something you like to do. :))

Summer said...

I'm just dragging my boring behind around the net saying hello to everyone. I hope you rest and enjoy your Sunday.

Jamie said...

You look wonderful in PINK!

Sorry you are feeling so bad, yes, you DO need to rest. However, if I'm not mistaken, I know you are fishing right about now...LOLOL.

Yes, gotta agree with Brad about the gambling, it IS a good thing that you are addicted to fishing, seems I should try that instead of putting my hard earned money down a slot machine? LOLOL

No, fishing's not for me, and gambling isn't either, at least not recently...

Miss you, miss talking in the mornings, soon I will be able to again.

Hope you catch the whoppper this morning!

xo My friend.

J.
