fly fishing, and Davidson basketball

  I guess ill start out with how my off weekend went.  Me and the wife took off Friday afternoon and headed up to the mountains in NC.  We stayed at a nice resort and ended up staying thru Sunday.  It was just what she and i needed.  It wasn't as much the relaxing but just being able to spend some time together was nice. Oh, big announcement.  The wife is pregnant.  We found out a couple of weeks ago so i thought i would share that news.  I don't get really excited about much but seeing the ultra sound thing was pretty cool.  Ill save that story for another post.  I ended up leaving early due to a male intern.  Any ways, the weekend up at the mountains was pretty cool, I went to the river to fish and she went to the outlet malls.  Winner winner chicken dinner, all parties were happy.  She kept the spending to a minimum and i caught some fish.
As if the weekend couldn't be better, i got home early enough Sunday to watch the Davidson wildcats play in the NCAA tournament.  Now I'm not gonna jump on the band wagon yet but my brother Tripp went to Davidson and follows the team to every game every year.  So needless to say he was out of his mind come Sunday after the game.  He was leaving Raleigh where the game was and was already making reservations in Detroit for this weekend. Also our front tire changer Ben Brown went to Davidson, so that was pretty cool.

I guess its back to the grind at the shop this week and then off to Martinsville.  We need to get a good finish this week and get back in the top 5 in points.  Take care now.

Awesome! Congrats to the both of yall! Very exciting!

Sounds like yall had a nice relaxing time together! Everyone needs time away from their work, glad yall got away and had fun!

Davidson, I actually picked them on my bracket, not that they helped me any, my other picks obviously weren't very smart! Coarse my top picks are still in the running!

Have a great race weekend! Win Martinsville for the baby!!!! smile...... be safe!

Let's go get us a clock this weekend, eh?

Posted by: J in PA | Mar 26, 2008 4:23:40 PM

Trent-

I hope you are giving Ashley lots of foot and back massages!

There was a nice feature on ESPN.com about you and the crew. The one in the magazine could have been better, but I am glad you guys got some well deserved recognition!
Below is a link to that article.

See you in Martinsville!

Posted by: KNewman | Mar 27, 2008 11:08:14 AM

First off....congratulations on the baby!! Definitely gonna bring a new kind of joy to life.

Good luck in martinsville as I am hopin for a solid run. YOu guys are still doin your thang in the pits.

Now for basketball....Davidson is killin em. They are on fire for sure. Curry is drainin 3's and shots like it is second nature. My brackets are soooo messed up. As usual some of the big dawgs got rocked. I cant believe some of these top teams are losin by like 20 at this stage. College sports are the best for sure. College basketball aint no joke...no matter what your seed....you better show up to play or some underdog is gonna send you to the house. I hope Davidson will continue to be stout, as they are a lot of fun to watch.

alright...so i was wrong about davidson.

Posted by: dan | Mar 29, 2008 12:16:16 PM

Hey Trent congrats on the baby.

Went to Ford Field for the games, and 3/4 of the crowd was pulling for Davidson on Sunday. The put together one hell of a run.
