Our bass season opens this Saturday, I just spent about 2 hours rigging up rods, all ready to go for some brown and green guys ( finally!).

Saying goodbye to a good friend stolen from us way too soon. She was a mom, sister, and friend rolled into one that once gave a skinny 21 year old who wasn't very sure of himself the confidence to stand up for himself and that he was able to do the job. She was a mother to any child in need and impacted so many, fly high TK.

Out Yesterday ~ "The sea was angry that day, my friends - like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli."

Like a hot knife through butter she was.

Mom and dad are vacationing in Alaska. Last week they went white water rafting and today out on the charter boat. Neither are in the greatest of health and they are living every minute like it's their last. Dad sent me a pic today of mom and the charter captain  

 

Don't tell me I won't wear the pink sunglasses, because I'll wear them all over town the rest of day, get compliments from people, and even post pictures on the internet.

Potty training

I just noticed you have CD's on your visor! You're just a bit younger than me so that makes me feel better. I thought I was the only one with CD's in my truck these days or CD's at all!

 

I might just drive my truck until it dies or the government makes me get rid of it and get a flying car in 2048 because the new vehicles I've driven around don't have CD players. ?

1988 called.  It wants it's Bananarama CDs back.

View from a jobsite a couple days ago, looking west across the St Johns River near Jacksonville. I live around 15 min. From there.

I built these stone signposts a few weeks ago as a donation for a piece of property my sons school bought next to them. They put in a large trail and outdoor learning spaces for the kids so they can have more time to experience the outdoors, the project was kind of a memorial to a young boy that died a few years ago while playing in the forest with his parents. 

Rather than contribute money to the cause, as a fourth generation stonemason, my wife thought it’d be a good idea for me to do this instead. The neat thing for me is that all the stones used came from a large fireplace/chimney that my grandfather built over 60 years ago. I tore it down and salvaged about 10 tons of stone so it’s pretty cool to use the very same stones my grandfather shaped so long ago, and as he was a hardcore outdoorsman, I’m sure he’d really appreciate this gesture towards the cause.

It's my wife's car, hence why the pink sunglasses were there to be worn. She's a couple years older than I am and still has a huge collection of CD's. Most of mine are so scratched they won't play anymore.

 

My car has a cassette player in it ?

We are expecting 90+ Degree weather in the northeast this coming week and I thought I would reminisce...

 

Dec 29 2017, -20F. Thick, black Sea smoke;  

 

These iPhone pics do no justice. this is looking strait to open ocean, I could see this black cloud 10 miles inland.  It’s about a 1/4mile offshore and a couple hundred feet thick.  The sun “rise” was 45 mins prior.

They can't have mine. I'm still using it. It's a cruel, cruel summer. Leaving me here on my own.

A turkey buzzard soaring along the cliffs at Susquehannock State Park. Below is the Conowingo Dam. 

Saw this a couple of years ago when I was back in the north country for my 50th HS reunion.  It was next to the public boat ramp in Balsam Lake, WI.  Seemed like a cool idea.  Hope that most use it as it is intended.

 

 

Got to share this sunset with my gr. Daughter going home from a spring fishing trip.

I've seen lots of loaner life jackets at state park ramp docks in Missouri and just recently in Kansas too. No excuse not to have all their life jackets now. 

 

Celebrating 'Merica with some food, guns, and fireworks yesterday at our house. Had enough fire power the neighbors came over and asked if we were getting ready for a war ?
