The Winter That Got Away
Well, at least SOMEBODY went fishing. And SOME guys got on the ice (even if only for a day or two between rains/thaws etc.). And not one of them dropped off even ONE smelt at this address....
The Old BayRat spent from the afternoon before Thanksgiving until April 3rd being retreaded instead of retired. Back to Construction Management. Did a fast track "fire-job" when one of our own apartment houses burned (allegedly torched) shortly after noontime on November 23.
Even fitted in a little medical adventure in Jan & Feb but that's all under control now. Back to the gym three times a week though. Won't let it cut into fishin though.
But FISH BEWARE!! The final shingles went on the roof Monday afternoon. 19 weeks out of my life and $170,000 later, all is well. Got a lot of fishin to make up. (as soon as the back-logged list of "honey-do's" is caught up a bit)
We were clearing the garden when the pager went off that day. Finally pulled those tomato cages and long dead plants today. Burned same along with a huge brushpile from "the pruning winds of Wintah".
Dying to get to the big lake. Salmon season ought to be spectacular this year.
Anybody who can get away on a week-day gimme a call.
