We live very close to the largest lake in the state of Indiana, Lake Monroe. It is an incredibly beautiful lake with a unique design. There is a very large part of the lake for recreational boating and miles of water for water skiing, jet skiing and pleasure crafting. The unique part is, there are miles of lake that are complete idle zone, which the recreational boaters avoid.
Why is that good? Well, us Kayaker’s can go for miles and not worry about some drunk dude in a jet boat trying to make our weekend miserable. We can go out all day and not even see anyone. It’s also a great area for fishing and sightseeing. We have a huge waterfowl population that reside on the idle side of the lake.
We have seen many different species of birds, green herons, blue herons, great herons, white herons, osprey, ducks, geese and my absolute favorite, the bald eagle. Sitting and watching a bald eagle soar overhead and fish right in front of you is an incredible site.
This weekend my wife and I were out Kayaking and went to an area we haven’t been yet and I was fishing in a very nice cove when my wife comes up behind me and shows me a bald eagle sitting in a tree. It was about 300 yds away so I started snapping photos and trying to get closer (moving very quietly). I got to 200 yds.. then 100 yds.. then 50 yds.. then right next to the tree the bald eagle was resting in. It was an awesome site. I took a bunch of photos of the great bird sitting there keeping an eye on me.
I hope you enjoy these photos, I sat there right below the bald eagle and fished for over an hour and he sat there and watched me while I watched him. 
Here are a few photos of him in the tree.

Anyone that knows me in the Internet Business World knows me as the quiet, reserved, calculated and all around nice guy. I accept that and it’s not a bad thing but lately I’ve let a couple people walk all over me and I’ve been pushed to my limit. I could go on and bash these people but I’m a firm believer in Karma and know that when you burn as many bridges as these guys have, you’ll soon be left stranded on an island by yourself.
I do want to put this out to the people in the Internet Marketing community. I’ve met hundreds if not thousands of people involved in IM and gotten to know many of you on a personal level. Recently a former business partner has been spreading lies and trying to harm my reputation and I want everyone to think about where the information is coming from and you’ll quickly see who the manipulator is in this situation.
I also want to say this, my phone and email are always open and I welcome phone calls and emails from anyone that wants to talk and hear the truth about what really happened to this partnership. I’m sick of the lies and outright nastiness of this whole situation but I won’t be dragged down to his level and won’t put that bad Karma out there. I will, however, no longer sugar coat the reason for the partnership dissolving, I am going to be completely honest with everyone that asks, I won’t cover for someone who repeatedly stabs people in the back and steps on anyone in his way to make money.
It’s not my style to be negative and those that know me, know I’m very loyal and honest to a fault but I will protect my reputation, I’ve worked for close to 10 years on my internet business and very hard at keeping a squeaky clean reputation. It will not be ruined by someone who represents himself very different from who he actually is.
In closing, I welcome calls and emails and if anyone has been told something that I’ve done or said that really seems out of character, I would love to clear the air with the truth.
