Fishing season ... argh, I wanna start it already!

This seems to be the 3rd summer in row that I don't start my fishing season in Kiiminkijoki but I have to wait until my summer break when I get to go to Utsjoki. This is my last week at work and on Tuesday next week I'll start my fishing season in Utsjoki...either in Utsjoki river or in Vetsijoki river. I've heard that there's quite a lot of salmon at least on Teno river. Aslakki says the salmon is climbing up to trees already :) (see http://www.tenojoki.fi/tenopaasivut/aslak/)

I've made only moderate equipment purchases for this season. I got me a fly fishing jacket and a Guideline's shooting head from Perhokolmio. The line I got is Power Taper DDC Connect Intermediate for one hand rods. It'll be interesting to see how it works...I'll try to report it here. The jacket is the long version of the Vision FlyWater jacket. Should be ok but if not I'll definitely report it here.

House deal done

A quick update on the house matter. We did get into agreement with the seller on the house I mentioned in my previous post so I'll be moving from the northern side of the city of Oulu to the the southern side. I'm so excited about moving to a new house...we've already started packing stuff and today we need to go select the tiles for kitchen.

Buying a new house

I've been lazy on blogging for quite some time already. Somehow Facebook takes quite a lot of my "online life energy" and it's hard to find time and energy to do blogging. Twittering I've almost totally given up on because of Facebook.

I've been up to so many things since the last time I wrote something here but the biggest thing is that we've sold our house and are looking for a new one now. We're already in kind of hurry as we should move out from our current house by the end of July. I've made an offer on a new house (literally new...it's supposed to be ready by 3rd week of July) yesterday and now waiting for the response from the seller...should know something by tomorrow.

It certainly isn't the best possible time to be upgrading a house right now as the interests are high and still going further up. Also it is expected that the house/apartment prices are going to go down in Finland. But we made the decision to sell our current house a bit before all the signs of the economy turned to red. But as a wise man once said, let's hope for the best and fear for the worst :)
