Back from the search for the big one. It got hot quick, but cloud cover with some breeze and wading kept me cool enough to fish until 11:00. Ran into about 8-10 Jake no shoulders today. They kept their distance so; they kept their lives.

Wound up hooking 3 and landing 3 today with all being better than a pound and a half each adding to the weekend fish fry. None as big as yesterday's biggest but good enough to filet. One of them fought really hard and I thought I was going to have one bigger than yesterday's. He was one strong bass for a little short sucker.

Good morning from ATX. Heavy rain falling as I type this post. We sure need it. Maybe catch a break so I can walk.

Wishing all a great day.

Good morning everyone.

I'm headed to the lake in a little bit. I had donated a fishing trip to an organization to be auctioned and the couple that ended up with it has never caught a striper (striped bass, rockfish). So, going to fish all night and then drive back home tomorrow morning.

We still haven't finalized payment on my truck (totaled-tree). But, it will be fair. I just dread truck shopping. It seems anything I would be interested in sells fast.

Anyway, everything is going good here. I hope everyone can say the same.

If this is someone’s ideas of a joke it’s pretty good. If not darn. Cross between an octopus and a turtle. Ok it’s a joke but a good one.

Good morning all. At a soccer game, go figure... Have an enjoyable day. God Bless you all!!

Good late morning folks.

Just hosted a brunch on my back porch -early Mother’s Day for mother-in-law, sister-in-law and wife. Quite pleasant and worth quite a bit of goodwill with my wife’s family.

We’ll celebrate as a family unit tomorrow. My sons off on a job moving a small business from DC to New Jersey and my daughter is off to Philadelphia for a Taylor Swift concert.

Hope it’s a good day for all.

Been on our trips to the markets we frequent...

Didn't even buy any of these but we did partake of a good amount of seafood. In the freezer or about to be... some will be consumed this evening. Hitting the road for a while.... Take care... (Bought some more coconut milk too...yeah I did it...)

Bought some like the below too...

Steamed red bean buns. Finally caught some back near the normal price I used to pay.... I couldn't like them at four times the price... Just not enjoyable.... I can enjoy the ones I bought today...

Good morning from ATX. Currently 66°F and partly cloudy. 50% rain chance around noon or so. Today's high expected around 80°F. Good soaking rain yesterday. Keep the precipitation coming.

Hiked to nearby Super Mercado yesterday for pack of Tortillas de Harina. Expensive. Yikes! $1 more than HEB for 20. Hey, support local businesses, right?

Young gal down the street owns an English Shepherd roughly 3/4 size of ours. Encountered both while out walking. We chatted some. Too cool. They very alert + protective dogs.

Wishing all Happy Mothers Day.

MORNING LEGIONNAIRES!

67° with rain and light wind. Rain in the forecast for the next few days bringing the temperature down to the mid 70's for highs. Should be some good fishing weather going forward.

Had a white fan break down right in front of my house around 7pm last night and I went out to see if I could help. It was a couple from California who had just moved out here because they were tired of the taxes and prices there. One of the local cops also pulled up and when he got out of the vehicle he stood about 6'7'' or so and was about 300 plus pounds. They looked at him with a "wow" look on their face but were pleasantly surprised as to how accommodating we were saying that people where they come from would not even offer to help if they broke down. We checked their vehicle as they called for a tow truck, and they were surprised at the offer from me to drive them to their house after the tow truck came to get their van. They offered to pay me, but I refused and said it was no big deal. Again, they said that that would not happen in California, people would take the money in a heartbeat. No wonder that place is going to pieces out there.

You guys enjoy your day and God Bless.

Good morning folks. Happy Mother’s Day to all those women in your lives who have achieved that lofty status.

My mother was thrilled with a hanging plant and flowers arrangement I bought her for the front porch. My wife loved the white roses and dark yellow lilies I got her. So a good day so far.

I hope you all enjoy the day.

Going to Uncle Julio's to eat this afternoon so I am told... Will leave about 3.... Of course my oldest made the reservations but ask the reservation concerning the reservation... "Mom, Dad is paying right?" This from a girl that makes at least two times what I make...paycheck-wise...

The price of being "father" on "mother's" day!

Family had dinner at Pompilio's in Newport. Good choice - again. Grandkids played bocce ball afterwards on one of their courts.

The current riverfront development in Newport is crazy huge & good for most any place & certainly for a town of less than 20K.

I visited back home April 21-27. Plan on returning during mid-June and again beginning July. Nice visit. Place ain't changed much.

I haven't been back in about 6-7 years. All my immediate family there passed away many years ago. My wife won't fly and neither of us have any desire to drive that far.

Good evening D, all is well in the Berg. I need the D to say a special prayer for one of my best friends. Tuesday morning his grandson will be having surgery on his heart, he is less than a year old, he was born with just two valves in his heart. I ask him what they were going to do, he wasn't sure but told me to look up the Glenn Procedure, going to look it up in a few. Glass business is doing good right now, I said I didn't want a job, but it looks like I have one. If you want to take a look at some of my work, look up Apple House Mercantile in Central City, KY.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 69°F and mostly cloudy. Chance for rain this afternoon. Today's high expected around 84°F.

Co-worker out today. Must hold down the program. Monday, Monday.

Wishing all a great start to your week.

Edit: Some asshole just fired a pistol about 8 times from a nearby residence behind us.

 

[BBUK]

Good morning all,

I hope all are okay with the shooting ATX.. yeah morons exist...

Got to the office a little early. Heading inside....

Have a great day and stay safe.....pay attention...

God Bless you all...

Sunny and 73.6°F here. We are on our way to 79°F with a 20% chance of rain.

One of my good life long friends son was VP for Pacific Gas and Electric. He now has a job in Houston working for a utility. Every time there was a fire in California he was under the gun because the crazies would blame PG&E. He could not handle it any more. California is going crazy.

You all enjoy you Monday.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks.

Another beautiful day in the east -- sunny, clear and cool. Mostly lost on me as I've been grinding away at work since before the sun was fully up.

A nice Mother's Day weekend for us. Took some time in the late morning to take my son clothes shopping -- bought him a nice Navy Blue blazer, some dress pants and a couple shirts. He's plausibly ready to interview now if any of his job feelers draw a nibble.

He's 6'4'', still filling out. Once I get him to lose that Maynard G. Krebs fuzz on his chin, he'll make a good impression.

Had some heavy rain this morning on the way to train my student. So much so that the visibility was about 100ft in front of my vehicle. As it lightened up there were 7 (that I counted) vehicles which had hydroplaned off of the highway into the ditch on both sides, and there were still others who had stopped along the side of the road with emergency flashers going. As I continued there were a few car accidents alongside of the road where they had run into each other, 2 accidents were pretty ugly. But in all of it there did not seem to be any casualties as I saw people out of their cars surveying the mess in all of the situations. This was about a 5-7 mile stretch of the highway. It was crazy. At one point, I hydroplaned but had it controlled as I let off of the gas (doing about 70mph) and settled in at about 45mph until the rain subsided. It was a short few minutes of heavy rain, but it did a lot of damage.

Appears UK football is making a big catch this week. I think warrior-cat reeled him in & Coen just scooped him up in the net. Great job, w-c!

Hello all. Been awhile since I have posted here. Had several things that took up a lot of my time and when I had time to post, it was on HOB. Good to see so many of you still on here and doing well.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 67°F and cloudy. Increased rain chances later this morning, Today's high expected around 79°F.

Second cousin, originally from Omaha area but now living south of DFW (Ennis, TX), called and needs a place to live. Told her I'd discuss with the wife. Bah! Call me shocked if she comes. We could use the help, but not the worry.

Wishing all a fine day,

Good morning folks. Cloudy and cool in the east.

Just woke up from a crazy dream. I was on the edge of a giant forest fire. It was like the whole world was burning, Everyone was much younger. My daughter was about six, and she was safe. But my wife and son were missing. I was heading into the burning woods to try to find them when my friend who recently died —the one I’d traveled with through Iraq and Bosnia and Somalia and Kosovo, etc. —showed up and said he’d go in with me. So off we went over smoking timber. Then I woke up.

I’m no dream interpreter but I clearly miss my friend. And feel a father’s anxiety about my son as he finds his place after college.

Hope you all slept easy and have a good day.

 

[cordmaker]

Good morning D, surgery for my friends grandson is 7:30 est, please say a prayer. Good to see you Mr.Ben. we've had over 10 inches of rain here in the Berg in May already, supposed to rain most of the day, it really cuts into my arrow head hunting, but it also washes the dirt off of them, was going to take our two grandsons, that will have to wait. Have a great day D!

Good morning all,

Working from the house today. Great reading all's posts. God knows what tomorrow holds. Always know who holds your hand... (Swiped that from an older hymn...) Trials and tribulations abound. God Bless you all...
