There's something fishy about this

Thank you Bubba Stallcup (to my right) of Odessa, TX for the wonderful trade experience. We met for lunch to discuss a potential trade. Little did he know that I drive a hard bargain! However, we both walked away fully satisfied with our trade. Bubba is a local youth pastor here in Odessa and has a knack for collecting odd things to use as discussion starters. Luckily he was willing to part with what he called his "1 lb wicker bass"! His group made quick use of the stickers by fashioning them to their foreheads for a photo-op. Thanks Bubba for helping me progress on my journey!

it's kinda smiling at you

I was so excited about this trade that I had to go get some good use out of it before I had to say goodbye when moving on to the next treasure... But that's the name of the game. So, I did a little fishing practice, and sure enough... caught it. Biggest bass within 120 miles. Sadly, that's probably true.

I know, I know... all of your mouths were watering when you saw this luscious piece of white meat, but sadly, it already has a destination. Not ten minutes after I traded the stickers away, I got an email from woman in Midland excited about the opportunity to own such a beautiful piece! So tomorrow, I'm off to Midland to see what kinds of things she will be wanting to trade for my wicker fish. Thanks for checking in! Check back soon to see what exciting things tomorrow has in store!
