UPDATE!

Katie and the girls have the whole week of Thanksgiving off.  Apparently Zion is dead that week.  Stay tuned…

[SKT]

Zion is near the top of our family’s travel list. Been holding off for our youngest to get a little more stamina. I’m looking forward to updates!

[Matt]

For those of you who haven’t seen, I’m going to be helping my brother @Fadez out during his convalescence and will be receiving his sample pair of slubbies.  Since I’ll likely be wearing them for most of my coming adventures I’ll be posting in that thread instead of this one whenever we do something cool out here in the desert.  Please join us.

Will do….

Excellent.  Balloon Fiesta next week.  Apparently I will have to get out of the house at 4:30 am to beat the traffic to the fiesta grounds.  I’m sure for an experienced angler like @Giles thats no big deal, but if I try to get up before 8 am the results are generally catastrophic.  I guess we’ll see.

[Matt]

Or we can just stand in the back yard apparently…

Ava is also excited.  In her usual stoic fashion…

8am??? That's midday, Sir!.. You lazy tosser, Sir!..

03:50 this morning - "had" to catch a flight to Portugal - I have unfinished business with Portuguese Bass…...I have to say, I feel a little less than optimal atm  06:30 start tomorrow.....

[Matt]

Early flights are the exception for me.  I love airport Bloody Mary’s.

[Matt]

We’ve booked a hotel in Moab, UT for the week of Thanksgiving.  Arches, Canyonlands, etc.  Watch this space as well as the 16 oz slub sample thread.

My barber apprenticeship is going really well.  I cut Imogene’s hair yesterday…

[Matt]

Made it to Moab today…
