Gonna try something different today I’m going to try text to talk actually I’m going to try talk to text. This is because, I’m in a bit of a mad rush. And I am driving.
Tomorrow I hope –or at least plan – to head down to KL in order to purchase 115 hp outboard for the battleship. This is because the 85 power two-stroke fucked itself.
And I’ve been incredibly busy coaching fly casting. I’m very lucky with my students. They are all fun people. I suppose it’s like everything else. The more you do something the better you get at it. Come next April back back back I will have been teaching flycasting for 30 years and there has been a lot of changes in that time, but the last five years in particular I’m very pleased.
Zoom coaching as well as the sport science books really has transformed what I do and it’s very enjoyable. I’m now coaching around 80 students and I’m starting to have to become more organised about what I do. Ideally I should have a file for each student tracking his or her progress but I’m not that organised and I don’t have enough space in the battleship for 80 files so I rely on my notes and their notes and WhatsApp messages in between there’s somebody on the road.
But it really has been wonderful. It’s getting pretty close to the point but I really need another instructor to help and I’m having for planning to bring naked. I just haven’t worked out how to do that yet how to pass on the five or 65 years of Passed on the five years of experience which will not full time it is certainly a significant amount of time so I need to have a few campfires which is where I do most of my thinking.
Fishing this week has been very challenging so far I found three which don’t like me very much And don’t want to beat me. I found two sets of babies one that I found twice and so far, I haven’t caught any of those although I did catch a free writer.
We are finally catching up on our road side of things that’s nice that’s been taken away without appetising. We are getting more organised now so I can hopefully start advertising soon and over the next couple of months we actually intend to hopefully build a stock level that look like a dead possum but I’m sure it wasn’t.
Sending a five way hot torpedo of this week a nice chat in the states There’s gonna be fishing with Bruce next week in Montana so hopefully Bruce gets a cast with the HT red flag, I must stop.
What on earth are you doing my goodness green flag okey-doke
Bali I have absolutely no idea how our courier service works. Sometimes I get build as little as 12 Uros oh my goodness another block okay I’m good got the green flag other times I get billed €90. It’s crazy. I really don’t understand. It’s the same road sometimes it’s even the same country.
Iron man training has been going very well and today I shall be running a 21 km run. I would love to be doing more of these but it’s a bit bit difficult when living in a boat Anyway I’m heading towards Grik this front page already late I should do a quick edit and next week or later this week I will find the time to upload two or three videos which I have ready one is the three fish and three casts on other is on tailing loops in the third is three car drills distance casting But now it’s time maybe the best iced coffee In Malaysia and I don’t say that lightly having said that In Malaysia is very poor, but this may actually be one of the best in the world. It certainly on a power with anything you might drink in Italy and not to dissemble prices either Which is interesting for a small town and a little Mobile building but they’re nice people and I enjoy the coffee I shall drink that upload the FP put my running shoes on strap ice to my forehead and do 12 laps around the airfield.
Have a fantastic week cheers Paul not Paul thanks end of message. You can stop now. I want to play some music no more dictation, what the fuck stop
