New Year's Tradition

Just before our jump in the hole (Lake Minnetonka, MN) - Behind Buzz and Chalupa you can see them lined up.

Now, getting last second instructions prior to the jump in the hole.

Chalupa has a look of last-second panic.

Here's the jump!

Chalupa is now a Northern Pike and Buzz is a Muskie.  It will be the coldest we'll be in 2009; It's all balmy from here on out!    

The other New Years tradition is the beginning of a running streak (minimum of 2 miles).  Last year the streak lasted one day due to the untimely broken pinky toe on his left foot on New Year's morning.  It was an omen for the year to come.   2009 will be better, much better... three days and counting.
