Fished last weekend with Pygmy, first time on the Parker since May 31; at this rate I should rent a boat instead of owning one. Gotta do better than that, FO is coming down Sunday so maybe we can get out that afternoon. Dave and I caught some trophies Saturday:
That dolphin put up quite the fight (see the blood? It's all my blood, little SOB caught me with a right hook that I didn't see coming). The king was delicious. And the king got me right on the same finger that I had to get lanced in Texas last year. Standby for updates.
And I found Gilligan's Island, but the castaways weren't there. Ginger or Mary Ann? I asked a friend that question and his answer was Mrs. Howell. Time changes your perspective, Lovey did have a certain je ne sais quoi.....................I don't know what that means I mean that means I don't know what. Confused I am.
We had the #1 grandson here for a few days and one night he took his decrepit old grandpa out and showed him how to cast a net:
Just like a pro, not sure what kind of pro, but a pro!
Terri has been running back and forth to Sanford being Nana, I can't wait to get her to New York next week and spoil her.
In Wilmington this week for a day and while visiting a customer I saw this, you may remember I featured this Toyota Celica SUV in a blog post some time ago. It is still running, but come to think of it, maybe it's just in the same place because it won't start?
I saw this picture recently, probably one of the worst guys in the history of the world. I remember his trial and execution, but I didn't remember Dale Earnhardt being one of his escorts. Wonder what old Dale wanted to do with him? Odd photo.....
I am still amazed that I am around on Earth, I didn't plan on living this long, and it's been good and I'm glad I'm still kicking. And I'm even more surprised that none of the things I feared as a kid have gotten me. You know the things that we saw as children that scared us:
anvils falling from any tall objects
pianos falling from any tall objects
quicksand
gorillas
Russia taking us over
kidnappers
nuclear bombs
nuclear fallout from the nuclear bombs
nuclear fallout from eating snow that was in the atmosphere during a bomb test
And to think of the things which were accepted:
lack of car safety
no bike helmets
swimming in the river, which included jumping off the railroad trestle
anything Hughtie Battle told us to do
chemistry sets (see above)
unlocked kitchen cabinets
Lucky for us those falling objects always made whistling noises...................................
So relax, have a martini and a cigarette; oh you're pregnant? Better make it a double.
Happy birthday Kristi
Next week: New York City (ahead and say it, I know you want to NEW YORK CITY!!!!!!!!!!!)
