Just thought I'd share a few highlights of my trip to Colorado, now that I've had a bit to collect my memories.
- My dad and I fly fishing for three days on the North Platte and various other waters, which was predictably slow but nonetheless enjoyable. We caught some nice fish, and had a great time.
- Three of my friends joining me for another two days of fishing on the Platte. All but one of us caught fish. The slow pace of the fishing was compensated for by my ever-present backpack full of beer. Win.
- Watching the Broncos win. Go Broncos!
- Rolling around Fort Collins with Uncle Wade (no relation) in his beater work truck which is without a stereo system. Instead of installing a system, Wade has a ghetto battery-powered CD/cassette player (a boombox, if you will), and a shitload of old country and rock tapes. Wade finds it funny to roll down his window and hold up his stereo with an old Garth tape cranked up, yelling at girls on the street to ask, "HEY GIRL, YOU LIKE THE WAY I DANGLE?"
- Generally, girls do not like the way he dangles, but some at least have the courtesy to laugh.
- Halloween party. Costume parties are always insane, and this was no exception.
That's all I really should post, but if you were there, you know the rest. Never a dull moment!
I'm back on the grind now, though. So be it. Got another two weeks of leave coming up for Christmas, and I'm seriously considering spending it in Colorado again. We shall see.
All for now.
