A hard lesson I've learned well.

Yup, at least for some. Mine maybe moreso than most. 

 

Not yet on the redfish. No boat, no local fishing buddies yet. Way, way too cheap to pay a guide. Thought I'd get a kayak, but too chicken to try it solo just yet. Add covid to the mix, and, well... It'll happen.

When I was 1 year old, my father interviewed for a job in Baton Rouge but took a job in Los Angeles instead. Perfect choice for him, not the shangri-la for me. I love it here. 

Why is it my wife who will tell me she doesn't want my tying desk to be messy doesn't notice our Grand kids have turned  the entire 1st floor into what can be best described as a day care supply house explosion?

My wife got a hook in her foot this week end, (size 10, for those that need to know).

I was rigging up some stuff in the living room (to watch TV while I do it) and lost track of one hook. I looked and looked for it. Couldn't find it. She's not in the room for a minute and she finds it, in her foot.

I felt really bad about it. I jerked it out pretty easily with some pliers. She was actually pretty good about it. Almost like she expects stuff like that.

I guess that's the best reason for my own room, so I can find all my own hooks.

Mine's version of that is, with a proper pout, "Does EVERYTHING have to be a dead animal?" She's a vegan... "Yes" (and thank you, plastic baggies).

 

It's hard to tie a fly with kale.😁

Maybe, but I might be in your best interest to not turn your back to her for a while and make sure you keep in touch with the forum Ok?  😉

She's making me go fishing for a week. I'll be fine after that, if nothing goes wrong while I'm gone. The last time I left for an extended trip, when I came back, the dog had a bandage on the end of her tail and a cone-head. She got her tail caught in the automatic, closing door of our store, (in the hinge side) It wasn't my fault but I wasn't there to take care of the problem when it happened.

Try digesting it. I'm now working overtime as a gas valve operator.

Angel says "Kale's just gross no matter what they try to do with it" She's full blooded Italian so, bread, pasta and tomato sauce.

You may want to check your sheets before you get in bed tonight!

I like kale sauteed in alot of olive oil, slides right off the plate and into the trash easier.

Because it's her job to boss you around and just spoil the grand kids.
