This past holiday weekend my brother Jarrett drove up from Grand Junction for a weekend of fun. On Christmas day, we drove up to Crested Butte and spent the day snowboarding. Although we didn't have the best snow, I had a great time improving my boarding skills. We then drove back to Gunnison at the end of the day and had dinner at one of the only open restaurants in town. On Saturday we went to Blue Mesa Reservoir and spent the day ice fishing. I caught two and kept two trout while Jarrett was pulling smaller trout left and right and finally kept the two largest trout for dinner. Here is a photo of Jarrett at the lake:
We were fishing along the North bank of the lake along with a number of other people. I took this photo of the groups just to the East of us.I cooked the trout using the Mushroom and lemon recipe from my trout cook-book.
I haven't taught any Aikido classes this winter break as there hasn't been the interest. I am getting ready for my January trip to Boulder Aikikai for Ikeda Sensei's 60th birthday party/seminar. I am also finalizing my plans for the Aikido Bridge Seminar in San Diego the following week. Finally, I mailed my Shodon paperwork the week before Christmas so I will likely be testing in the upcoming new year.
