do the lightning rod

i pulled the little johnny out of the water on Tuesday for some engine work. pretty good timing ?

i was bush hogging a right of way behind the water treatment plant and went inside to get a drink and a pack of crackers. they were gathered around a tv in the control room. i saw the second plane hit and the buildings crumble. never forget

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/3448137187853781/ i live about 30 miles N of Charlotte, NC and remember Hurricane Hugo in ‘89. it came up through here in the middle of the night with 90 mph winds after coming ashore earlier in Charleston, SC a Cat 4. that’s over 200 miles inland! it tore this place apart. i had firewood for the next two years. we dont want no more. ....here is another link with a nice video https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article218124850.html

lest we forget

we’re supposed to be leaving for Cape Hatteras next Tuesday for a few days of flounder fishing. it aint looking good. ☹️

be careful

don’t worry, it gets worse as you get older. ?

although it’s still hot and steamy here in NC, with swt’s in the low to mid 80’s, i have been finding spots and largemouth schooled up along with the bait, in coves, in 10-16 fow. and i mean LOTS of them. now this may be due to the thermocline, fall pattern or whatever, i dont care. when i start seeing them on the Garmin, i start casting, usually fan casting right out in the middle of the coves. you can catch them on a variety of lures til they get wise to you, then it’s time to move on. fish have also been busting on shad right in the middle of the day too. blue bird sky, no wind, whatever. loads of fun.

you’re exactly right. i dont know if i could have held back once he cussed me in front of my son. that’s a tough one right there. turn him in

way north, git r done son!

end of thread

that’s good preachin’ right there

well done my friend

it has been brought to my attention that we have more than one grandchild. how could i resist?

yesterday, Hawaii defeated Georgia 3-0 to win the US Championship and S Korea got by Japan 2-1 to win the International Championship, setting the stage for the LLWS Championship game played this afternoon. both teams pretty much dominated their brackets and entered the title game unbeaten. ....and Hawaii wins it all by shutting down the powerful S Korean squad 3-0! i cant tell you just how much i enjoy this spectacle each year and will look forward to next August when the boys of summer once again take the field. thanks to ESPN (ABC) for bringing even the regional games into our living rooms for us to enjoy baseball in it’s purest form.

he’d figure something out, wouldn’t he? ?

she’s beautiful

Hawaii (3-0) handed Georgia (4-1) their only loss of the series via a walk-off home run in the 11th inning last Friday. meanwhile, S Korea (3-0) handed Japan (3-1) their only loss, a 10-0 defeat in 4 innings on Wednesday.

Georgia beat NY 7-3 last night and will now face Hawaii for the US Championship on Saturday. Japan survives with a 1-0 win over Puerto Rico and plays S Korea for the International Championship on Saturday as well.
