So much for an early spring....

Happens every year. The week are two before spring break are warm and spring like. Spring break gets here, and I have 9 days in a row to fish, and winter returns. Just looked at the ten day forecast on Weather Underground. Looks like days in the 50's and nights in the 30's are gonna be the rule for my spring break. At least they are not calling for SNOW!

Taught school 32 years, may have had 5 good ones but always wished spring break was the week after Easter.

This was number 31 for me. Not sure how many more I’m going to do. Life (and fishing) would be simpler if one did not have a work schedule to keep......

I love the kids and my job but if I can afford it at year 25(im currently on year 8) I will be done so I can enjoy my kids college days and fish/hunt when I want to. I know its gonna be a lot of expense still with kids in college but MPACT should help a ton.

Did the MPACT deal and could have not made it without it "but" with two in college at the same time even with tuition and books paid it still ran 2500. a month on average . apt., meals, transportation, insurance will eat you alive .

No doubt! I have three in college now and one who finished a few years back. Luckily, one of them is playing football. Full ride, not a dime out of my pocket. Other two went baseball, no money help there.
