First Yamadori

[Fish]

Hi All,

Just thought I would share a little story about a man and his first planned collection morning.

It started at 9 am with my mother ringing twice and waking me from another drug induced sleep trying to avoid insomnia, wow, I wish it could be 9 am again. Anyway, the kids were already bouncing around the house, the wife was already....the wife....(kidding, she is a bloody amazing woman to put up with me.) so as I was saying, two phone calls, loving family, pouring rain had stopped and I thought to myself, I said, Self, lets go digging.
So into the car went the kids (bless xmas and ipods), next went the wife (bless new clothes that made her feel good), next went the tools. Quick stop into Bunnings for a couple of things, then onto the road.
One hour later, and countless "what are we looking for again's" from the wife, not a peep from kids (again, bless the ipods) I have got nothing. Two hours later, and only two mango trees in the back (for the wife) I still don't have anything.
Conclusion, next time don't take the kids or the wife, because every time I drive alone, I cant stop looking for and finding great finds for Bonsai, when the car is full, nada.
Oh well, I had fun spending time with them and getting out of the house before the torrential rain started again.
Merry Xmas all and I hope you all have a safe new year.
