No more Spring Break?

Yep, it's the truth and it sucks.  I don't like it but I can't do anything about it.  Spring break has been far, far less productive and profitable than I imagined.  First, my transmission was about to crap the bed.  So, today I took it to get serviced (having the filter changed and the fluid flushed and refilled).  It cost $150.  Then I realized I've got less than $100 for the rest of the semester, which isn't going to fly at all.  Thankfully I am getting a small paycheck from working this week, so I'll be able to pay another month's rent, almost.  Well anyway, enough about my financial woes.

Wednesday night was the last nice night weather-wise here.  I figured it was the last chance I had to do some fishing.  So, I went down to the James River near College Creek and threw out a line.  I caught two cats before Brian got down there.  He had just arrived and was setting up his stuff, while I was telling him that it had been slow - and a pretty nice sized catfish hooked up on my rig.  I pulled it in after a pretty decent fight.  He was about 18" long, 3.5 lbs.  The only fish I've had a better fight with is spadefish, and the 4lb 3oz largemouth I caught several years back.  

The last two days the weather has gotten suckier and colder.  Today it is raining and it's supposed to be doing that the rest of the weekend.  UGH.  I hate cold rainy weather.  Well, two more days and I go back to school to face the music - don't be surprised if I don't graduate this May is all I'm going to say.
