XMAS

it rained this morning. real monsoon-like rain, not the typicall light drizzle 'ooh ooh, it rains everday in seattle' sissy rain. given the crappy conditions, i figured this would thin out the fishing crowds. it did, just me and one other dude at lincoln park. too bad it was low tide and no schools were coming through. fished for an hour and a half and got skunked. got back to the truck and realized that some jacka$$ got an early christmas. that POS broke into my truck and made off with my ipod & radio transmitter and my snowboarding backpack. backpack was full of good stuff like: dutch harbor rain jacket, headlamp, xtools floating pliers, filet knife, compass, gloves, flashing red bike light, stringer, sunglasses, beef jerky, TP, licorice, and MY FAVORITE ORANGE HAT, etc. grrr. normally i bring my backpack with me, but it was raining so damn hard that i didn't want everything getting wet. never again.

LUCKILY, i recently took a bunch of stuff out of my backpack so that turkey DIDN'T get my camera, binoculars, first ait kit, 'survival' kit.

$500 deductible on renters insurance, so it may not even be worthwhile claiming this. dammit.

screwdriver key (sick pinstripes still intact)

in better news, after getting skunked 3 times in a row i finally got a food dehydrator off of craig's list. it's not a very good one. acutally, it's pretty much just a hair dryer that sits on some plastic racks. no temp settings, no timer, and it's kinda loud. it even came with one semi-dehydrated earwig in it. crap, at $10 i think i may have been ripped of. meh. looking forward to dehydrating some huckleberries. 'tis the season hippies.

here are some pictures that weren't stolen today:
