Ice-fishing, basketball and what-not!
Sunday, January 29th, 2012One can hate the winter or embrace it, I am inclined to do the second, I love it!
As my dear left thumb is out of cross-country skiing for yet another winter, i look forward do those precious few hours on alpine ski’s and ice-fishing. Unfortunately, I am yet to do any skiing this winter but today was my second trip to an ice-covered lake. Lake I visited today is near, some 25 km or so from the house and according to urban myth, boasts a big-grown perch population. It be true or not, I cant really say, in my say 3 hours on the lake I caught 4 fish in total, and none of them was anything remotely to the size allegedly in the lake. That’s ok though, it gives you hope that next time you may hook a giant.
As far as basketball and my coaching career goes with VB D2 team, well, we are slumming. Can’t get a W, lack of interest and will to do the effort it takes to win is taking its toll on me and the team. A clean slate and a fresh start is not likely to emerge just now so we need to hang in there.
On the what-not note, Swedish kayakers and a canoer are working their buns of, with three guys being in Pau for a few more weeks training and one getting his triceps together at home, in the icy waters of Falun. Must say that I am hugely impressed by their grit and effort. Will be most awesome to follow them yet another season.
