First day of the Psych tec progam "Back to School"

This program is no joke! It takes some serious hard work and dedication. Right now I am going to this one class from 7:15 am until 2:15 pm Monday-Friday. Its like having a job, but your job is learning..and the job dosen't stop at 2:15, I go home and do nothing but study until I go to bed. The first week was extremly hard and to be honest I did not enjoy it at all. One night I stayed up until 3am studying for a test and then woke up at 6am and went to school. I am hoping I have adapted my life enough to start enjoying my seven hour a day learning job.

I guess this pelican knows who's the best fisherman on the pier that day

This pelican kept hanging next to me because he knows I catch the most fish on the pier at Pismo. It was really fun taking this picture but I was a little scared he was going to pluck my eyes out. Its a $100 dolar fine if your caught feeding these birds, but I like to gamble so I fed him a couple of Jack Smelt's. Im really glad I was not punished for my actions but the reason its wrong is because it messes with the birds survival. If every one fed this bird he would be lazy and stop fishing thinking he could just live off of hand fed food. This is my theory..may or may not be so acurate but I don't want to mess with the circle of life. so next time I get the chance Im just gona tell the pelican to catch his own.

Me and Ronald Mc Donald getting to know eachother, taking things slow of course!

This picture was my dads idea so here it is, I thought it was pretty funny! Me and my dad grabed a quick bit to eat one morning because we had to work on some plumbing in the trailer in pismo because their was a leaky pipe under the sink. Is it just me or was Ronald enjoying our little time together?

The day I felt lower than LOW but jumped higher than High

Tori and Ronnie brought their Rhino along with my dad having his Rhino at the beach this last weekend. So one of the bigger activity's was riding the rhino's in the dunes. It was all fun and games until me and Hannah were out riding my dads rhino with Ronnie and Colt in Ronnie and Tori's rhino. Things were going smooth and I was feeling realy comfortable with my rhino driving ability's until Ronnie found this part of the dunes were their was this deep bowl with a short side to it. Well lets just say you could get some speed before you got to the lip wich had a big jump to it. I watched Ronnie jump it a few times and he got some pretty good air off it. I was debating on wether or not I should hit this jump while watching Ronnie and Colt continously laugh as they jumped it. Finally I jumped it and things were fine, me and Hannah were like heck ya we got some air too. Then I tried it again and this time for some reason I had my foot into the throttle alot to much and Ronnie and Colt were up on the hill watching me and Hannah. Ronnie said to Colt "oh crap! he is going way to fast I can't watch this" and sure enough I was and I hit that jump so hard that the rhino came down really hard on the nose. We must of been in the air it felt like forever and when we hit it was like hitting a wall. My goggles flew off and I was like so shocked it seemed like I blacked out for a minute. Lets just say I was super scared and my toe feels like it is broken from bracing my self for the final stop. I just kinda sat in the rhino for a minute thinking what a dummy for what I just did and then I got out to walk out the shock. Things could of been way worse, I think just a little bit more speed and me and Hannah would of rolled the rhino straight over sitting on the lid. As I looked over the rhino I saw that I caved in the front silver piece with holes in it on the front bumber just a bit. I was glad I didn't do anymore damage to the rhino than I could have, Im also glad that me and Hannah only came out of it with a couple days of whiplash and an extremly sore toe. I was not looking forward to telling my dad that I abused his toy and bent something, but I was honest and told him right away. I felt like crap about it and it made my day a bit gloomy but in all I think my dad has forgiven me. sorry again dad! You got to respect things that you can't afford to fix thats for sure, but most of all to respect things that are not yours. I think I was respecting my dads Rhino until that one moment when things got a bit out of hand..It was a moment I will not forget, and it was a moment that made me realize that rhino's are so much fun but you could really get hurt on one if you are not carefull. So here are two pics of the shinny thing with holes that crazy cam bent on the front bumber of the my dad's Rhino.

Standing in the Waves

I got to do some surf fishing this last week at Oceano Beach and this is what I caught. I have heard that sand crabs is the best bait for fishing off the beach so thats what I served up. I used my fish skin leaders that has six hooks, a weight, and six sand crabs. It was so much fun catching this pretty little fish. They are really tasty to eat one time I caught about seven and took them home for Grandma Welker to cook up. I had the pleasure of releasing this fish right after Hannah took this picture. I miss Pismo and Oceano Beach so much and if I had my way I would never leave. I tried fishing off the beach a couple more times deep in the water and no luck, I guess I was just lucky enough to catch this one.
