Another 17+ pounds of toms brought in, mostly heirlooms. Half of them are destined for the freezer...

Saw this card today.

Yeah, I hate when that happens. Then there's the inevitable lawsuit because your lamp post scratched their paint and your yard got the tire treads all "icky".

My power blinked out yesterday. Just thought I'd share the pic from the local news site of someone about 6 blocks north of me, parked in the wrong place that caused it, (They're still working to restore traffic lights in the downtown core

Great shocking googly moogly!
Beauty of a day to go fishing...
Good luck, I went fishing with my neighbor and a sailing buddy from Nashville a couple weekends ago, we all caught 17 to 20 pound Chinook.
Nice! When I lived on the Olympic Peninsula we'd smoke those Chinook. Yummers!
Today (as almost always these days) was catch and release, this trip smallies and northern pike, all on the fly using froggy poppers. Hella fun!
Gonna do it again tomorrow!
Cheers!

Very nice. I've caught too many bass to count and a hundred or more pike over the years, but never on a fly rod. That must be a thrill.
Today was almost cathartic, with the weather a solid 10 and plenty of fish to be caught. I found silently slipping into tiny bays (tennis court size) packed with driftwood at the back and at least 15 feet of depth and shooting a froggy popper right to the edge of the floating rafts would 5 in 10 tries result in a fish imitating an SLBM rocketing out of the water with the popper.
And thanks to the "weedless" popper design keeping the lure "up front" (ie: not swallowed) all fish were released undamaged.
These were mostly 15 to 18 inches and a couple/few pounds. Only caught a pair of pike today, both "axe handles"...
One of my sons noted the genetic diversity reflected in the differing color schemes of these small mouth bass...
My sons and their families will all be coming up next week to close out Summer along with celebrating my youngest grandson's birthday. It's gonna be a riot! This was partly a scouting trip to figure out where the fish are and what's working, for the days the wives will let the boys go fishing

Everything learned in Kindergarten still applies!
Fishing floaters - or other top-water lures - is always the most fun one can have fishing imo. Whether quietly drifting a small dry caddis fly or chugging a big popper, the anticipation of a surface strike gets the adrenaline going. I probably missed or unhooked as many as I brought to hand today but even those were a rush 
Just learned about Ophelia. Hopefully she'll be burned out before Monday...
Cheers!

I am not into fishing but the best time I had was learning how to fly fish on Allen's Cay in the Exhumas in the Bahamas and we were getting iguanas to go after the fly (it was hookless)
Cool!! Our son takes his two boys fishing at Voyagers every year.
Random cool stuff I forgot:
Right as I was launching the boat there was a building roar in the sky behind me that eventually got loud enough to warrant a glance: I saw a pair of F-35s, presumably Vt ANG, playing tag in the mountains. Years ago they were doing the same with F-16s, often refueling right over our house.
A couple hours later I was in a hot spot catching-wise and kept hearing a rustling overhead but was focused on the catching at hand.
The ruckus finally garnered a moment of my full attention - whereupon I saw a mature bald eagle maybe 30 feet above me, hopping from tree to tree to see if what I was catching might be available for its lunch. The moment it saw me watching it took flight up river.
Baldies and Goldens are actually pretty common above Moore Dam - plenty of documented nesting - so I'm a wee bit jaded, but still coming eye to eye with a bald eagle gilded a pretty good day...
Cheers!

This is Boris, he sets his web in the tree above my truck and tethers it to the fender. His backside is about the size of a cranberry, not that big but still startling when he drops down to face height working his web.
Who? Boris the spider?? 
Could be Natasha, it is hard to tell with some spiders.
I thought she was off chasing moose and squwaaail.
