Ok, I literaly screwed off all dang day, period. I didn't get my butt out of bed till 10 then I went to the Ranger dealer to meet BBC member Rodney Tidwell, great guy. Then I headed off to find the tackle shops....... just like a meth addict I can't stop from getting the cool tackle. I went to Cabin Bait and Tackle on the other side of Barkely Lake dam first and bought too much but whats a guy to do when he doesn't know what he is going to do......... buy what you think you will need, lol. Then I headed to Fisherman Headquarters in some town and don't ask me how to get there because I have no clue how I found it but it was an ultra sweet store. Prices were a little and I mean a little(hardly at all) high but when they have stuff you want you just get it and don't worry because if you get out there and need it and don't have it, it sucks. I know this because my wonderful partner Everette seems to buy only one of everything and sure enough he always finds something they will eat and he of course only has one (1).

Anyway, after I made my way back to the room I started bring things in out of the car and then I just chilled for awhile. Registration started at 4:30-5:30 and I decided to go to wally mart before going to reg., then half way there I realized I didn't have much time so I am running through wally to get some sunscreen and eats for tomorrow, I had to look like and idiot.

I made it reg on time and then I had to wait some more for the meeting which started at 6. While I was sitting in the car Mirizo Shimuzo(sure that isn't spelled right) pulled up. I watched him start to the meeting 6 damn times and turn around and go back to his ride, not really sure what he was thinking but it was kind of funny. As I set there I got to knoticing how dang many pro's have brand new truck, all most unreal how many are in new 3/4 tons with diesels, must be rough.

I got into the meeting and set next to a couple co anglers BS'd with them for a short. It is really cool to see all the pro's. The table in front of me had Hackney, Browning, Stone, Quinn and Duckett..... cool just see them in person and just not on tv.

I drew Jimmy Mize for the first day and he is pretty much ledge fishing from what I could tell so I am ready for that.

Type you all tomorrow, Mike
