A New Level of Fishing

Greetings once again,

It is still hot here. Our fishing has somewhat taken center stage over the past week. Just as cavemen emerged from the darkness with fire, we too also revolutionized our fishing. Actually, after several weeks of waiting, two of the monkeys' wives came through and sent us a fishing pole and line. Now, instead of reining down a cornocopia of fruit and other assorted food items at the fish, we have gone the more conventional way and started to cast. CPT S, as you can see from this picture was the big winner yesterday. As the fellow monkeys and others watched curiously from above, CPT S laborously tired out, who we think to be Fat Fred as he (Fred) attempted to twist and convulse his way out of the hook he swallowed. Fifteen minutes and a gallon of sweat later, CPT S had won this round. With the fishing pole we now have a great way to spend our Haji/Sadaam Fedaclean Day. It is amazing what six months, a lake and down time can do to a person. Other than fishing and sweating, there is not too much else going on here. I hope to head to the Super Hajimart soon to haggle my into a $30.00 box set of every Simpsons episode made. My time continues to tick away here. The days are sometimes long but the weeks seem to pick up speed. Stay tuned for more "fish tales."
