this months workout:

Fishing:

More importantly casting

Now, we used to think we were experts on the subject until we met someone who was truly proficient, so today’s workout is going to be for the beginners and the intermediate, anyone seeking the advanced workout will have to wait until we’ve perfected it ourselves.

For the beginner: Use a zebco closed face button release reel. Hold pole horizontally and straight out in front of yourself. Push the button in and hold it. Swing the pole back over your head and whip it forward. Be sure to release the button as you whip it forward. Splash…good! But next time don’t release the pole when you release the button. Okay, go find another pole and repeat until your arm feels like its going to fall off…or for about 5 minutes.

For the intermediate: Do the same as the beginner, only be sure to look behind yourself before you whip the pole forward, this should eliminate the annoying hats that keep collecting on the hook. To make this workout harder, use an open reel.

That’s it for this month, remember don’t over do it!

For our favorite Air Force cousin in honor of his wedding...


From My Fair Lady
"Get me to the church on time"

Some words have been changed to better fit what we wanted to say on this happy occasion…sob…

There's just a few more hours,
That's all the time you've got.
A few more hours Before you tie the knot.

Our cousins getting married on tomorrow!
Ding and Dong! The cousins are gonna chime.
Pull out the stopper! It’ll be a whopper!
But get him to the church on time!

Our cousins gotta be there in the mornin'!
Spruced up and lookin' really fine.
Girls, come to kiss him;
His fiancée she will kick them.
But get him to the church on time!

If he is dancin' Roll up the floor.
If he is whistlin' Whewt him out the door!
For he’s gettin' married on the morrow'
Ding and Dong! His cousins are gonna chime.
Kick up a ruckus the silly sister’s lost the compass;
but they’ll get him to the church,
Get him to the church, For goodness sake,
get him to the church on time!

He’s getting married in the morning
Ding and Dong! The cousins are gonna chime.
Drug him or jail him, Stamp him and mail him.
But get him to the church on time!

He’s gotta be there in the morning
Spruced up and lookin' in his prime.
Some bloke who's able Lift up the table,
And get em to the church on time!

If he is flying then get him down.
If he is woozy, Make him keep it down!
For he’s getting married in the morning!
Ding and Dong! the cousins are gonna chime.
Feather and tar He; Call out the Army;
But get him to the church.
Get him to the church...
For goodness sake,
get him to the church on time!

The silly cousins will be singing this part on their way home from gallivanting tonight:
Starlight is reelin' home to bed now.
Mornin' is smearin' up the sky.
The sleepin town is wakin'.
Daylight is breakin'.
Good luck, old chum, Good health, goodbye.
He’s gettin' married in the mornin'
Ding and Dong! The cousin are gonna chime...
Hail and salute Him Then haul off and boot him...
And get him to the church, Get him to the church...
For goodness sake, get him to the church on time!
See you there Cousin, and to Our new favorite Air Force Cousins wife, welcome to the craziest batch of cousins you could ever hope to avoid!!!

This weeks workout:

We have come to the conclusion that a workout once a week is way too ambitious for us right now. So from now on, we will only be working out once a month…or possibly twice a month…if we’ve had enough sugar.
