The Weekend Is Just The Best Time, For Me.

Yeah, I get to go away this weekend. I’m really looking forward to it.
I get to go away with a friend because my family all have some concert to go to and they can’t come so I get to go with a friend. Last time I took my family, but not this time.
We are going to take a tent and camp, as I would normally do with my familynormally. It’s a really good tent, about 10 foot square and canvas and really good quality so worth taking. Its heavy but I have a lighter tent that’s smaller but it’s forecast to rain and I want a good tent that will keep the rain out.
We leave Friday morning at about 6 am, early, grr. We’re meeting some other people at 9 and it will take about 3 hours to get to where we’re meeting. I don’t really like getting up early, good thing I don’t have to too often.
As much as I hate to get up early if you’re looking forward to something you just get up and go anyway, so it’s not so much of a problem.
Unfortunately my car is pretty old and I’ve got all my fingers and toes crossed hoping it makes it up there ok. It’s done 540,000 miles so it’ done a lot of work, but it goes fine.
Saturday is going to be a free day. Nothing planned at all, just a hang about day to do what you want. I plan to take fishing gear along and do some fishing, in fact I bought a new fishing rod this morning. Sadly I broke my old fishing rod a while ago.
My old broken rod was one I made a long long time ago. I bought the fiberglass blank and all the runners and made it all myself and I’ve used it and used it. I was pretty impressed with myself that I managed to make my own fishing rod.
I have no idea how it broke. I was just walking through a patch of trees and then suddenly I looked at it and the tip was broken off. What happened? Who knows. But it was a pretty sad day as I had used that rod so much.
I found out today that it wasn’t worth a lot of money. That’s because I went to a fishing shop and bought a new one and it wasn’t expensive. But it still had sentimental value to me, after all I made that rod myself.
And I couldn’t believe. 25 bucks for a new fishing rod. They certainly aren’t expensive now to buy. But the new one isn’t the one I made. I’d rather my old one than a new one.
So there’s the news about my weekend to be. It won’t rain will it and I will catch a fish won’t I?
