Afternoon Legionnaires!

85° with a high in the high 80's expected with storms rolling in late this afternoon.

Went fishing this morning: Hooked 5 landed 5. One of them was me. Buried a hook pretty deep into the inside of my right arm just above the elbow. One of my big Whopper Plopper lure treble hooks. Had a hard time getting it out. Thought I was going to have to go to the hospital to get it taken out. Pulled and twisted until I saw the barb then knew I could get it out on my own.

The bass were all in the 1 1/2 to 2lb range. I caught 2 off of the Whopper Plopper and the other 2 off of 2 different colored Bass Pro Shop 7 1/8" stick-o-worms. Was going to wait until tomorrow to go but, rain in the forecast.

On the subject of the Reds, they are fun to watch right now. David Bell has some real tough decisions coming up when Votto and the others come back from rehab.

Well, going to go out shortly to get some Billy Sims BBQ before the Reds game today.

Enjoy the weekend folks and God Bless.

Ouch! I haven't had a BAD hook experience......yet.

That was my first one that actually went in. Been pricked before, but never buried one like this one.

The bass were 2lb range, but your ass was in the 200 lb range.

That could be a record!

I can hear the conversation around the water cooler: I hooked that dude but he wiggled off!

Ole wc not telling the whole story....

I heard of rogue gangs of Bass claiming they are now people and "maybe" they were just fishing for wc....

OR

I know wc would NEVER admit that a school of Bass......

Cast back at him, and
Shanked him...

Everybody was Bass-fu fighting.....

Bass dragged his arse in the water too but wc probably got an eye gouge in and shook loose...


Edit: Haven't had a drink since about February.. Can you imagine me drinking? As John Wayne stated to Bunny, I'm doing some thinking drinking...

Good morning everyone!

Happy Father's Day to all of you fathers. No kids for me.

May or may not have posted this one before, but since it's Father's Day and we've been talking fishing. This was about 15 years ago. 37" 21#, we've caught several about this size, but we can't get past it.

I hope everyone has a great Sunday.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks. Happy Fathers Day.

I’m blessed to still have my father here to talk to at age 92.

And I’ll get to see two of my kids today and will hear from my other daughter and two grandkids.

I hope all you dads have a good day.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning and Happy Father's Day from Forge Ridge, TN. Currently 55°F and partly cloudy. Today's high expected around 84°F Awesome weather.

My dad was 44 years old when I was born, so I lost him in 1975 when I was 29 years old.

I had a great one. He was a Baptist who tired to lead by example. He would not argue and he would not even say darn as it was too close to damn. He is the only man that I was ever around that never used bad language. "Gosh dallet" was the worst thing he would say.

Sitting on a cushioned bench at TJ Max waiting on wife and daughter to try on mutiple pairs of pants, shirts, and other assorted womens clothing. In the distance I can here some bass chuckling and saying, "He's been hooked again".

We have a coffee table I had stripped and have one coat of stain on it and was going to re-stain...ran out of time..... Have a restful evening...

Did some face time with one of my sons and his family last night (Hillsboro Tn) and they said that it was supposed to be in the 70's most of the week. Would love to have that. Fishing all day.

Morning Legionnaires!

66° this morning with moderate winds. High going to be in the mid 90's.

Not much going on today other than the normal routine. Wife is off today which is why we went clothes shopping for her and my daughter yesterday. I complained enough about how long it took yesterday that she said they will go by themselves next time. She wanted me to go so we could all eat lunch but, the time spent in each store when they go shopping is too much to make eating out worth it.

During the third store I told her I was already at my limit so, she got a little miffed but gave in. When we got home, I immediately turned on the tv to the Reds game already underway. She looked at me and said, "You could have led with that". I told her that I was hoping they would find what they were looking for at the first store.

You folks enjoy the day off and God Bless.

Good morning folks.

Had to earn my Father's Day badge late last night. My daughter called just before midnight -- a drunk driver swerved across the center line and head-on collided with her boyfriend's car. Both were relatively unharmed but had been taken to the local hospital. I had to drive over, pick them up and take them home. The car is totaled.

I happened to see the thread in Rafters about sympathy for Bob Huggins this morning. Put me in the category of Zero Tolerance for drunk driving. I can sympathize with alcoholism. I was probably uncomfortably close in my 30s, and my wife's dad and my uncle were both hard core. And I'm sure in my drinking days I got behind the wheel too often, and was just lucky to never get caught or to hurt anybody. But we, as a society, live and learn, and there is no excuse now -- especially for a guy like Huggins. Hell, he could BUY a bar and set up a bedroom in the back if what he missed is the social part of it. Certainly he could pay a guy a full salary just to drive him around at night -- his own designated driver.

Enough preaching. I'm just a little groggy from lack of sleep.

^Happy your daughter will be OK. Her BF too.

Was just talking to my daughter about this the other day. A neighbor down the street is on his second dui and in Oklahoma, a third is automatic 1 year or more in prison. For me, I think the second strike should be automatic jail time. Knew a woman quite a few years back who was going to prison for her third strike and the night before she was to leave for prison, she was at a local bar getting drunk and not with her family.

"Fer" a guy that's got it going on, "yuse" messing up big time...

Use Bill Cosby wisdom.....obey, obay, O-bay, OH Bay.......

Good morning all on this Juneteenth holiday....

I was snoozing upstairs "cause" I "gots" two grandchildren sleeping over BUT my youngest called me and woke me up while she was tired driving back from her 12 hour shift....

Oh well, sleeping in is overrated but I sure wouldn't mind eating it too...

Have a blessed day...

I'm molding attitudes for later shopping times so that I won't be invited.

Thanks VH and Warrior. Here's the car. As you can see, the outcome could have been worse. Good design - the front end gave way back to the windshield and absorbed the energy. I hope they throw the book at the A-hole who slammed into them head on.

So glad your family is safe.

My Youngest was in a similar looking accident back around 2007 or 8, mashed her face into the windshield. She still has the scars on her chin to prove it.

Good Sunday Morning folks.

It is 73.8°F and partly cloudy, we are supposed to get to 76°. We also have 60% chance of rain. Last night we got .15" of rain and I hope and pray we get a little more, I would be pleased with a lot.

Best of luck to your daughter and her boyfriend @MdWIldcat55 . I drink all the time; however, I have never driven with alcohol in my veins. It is a serious problem. I don't know why anyone would be willing to risk their lives and others lives by drinking and driving. It is just stupid.

I agree with @warrior-cat the second DUI should come with jail time.

Taking My Darling to a new eye specialist today. Please say a prayer, if you have a mind to. My Darling has had ongoing issues with her eyes. So far so good but surgery may be in her future. Then on to her back.

Raining all day today in Silver Grove, MD. Cool too.

 

[BBUK]

Good luck.

Thanks,

Just got back. The doctor wants to check again at three and six months...

My oldest daughter (The doctor) made a statement and I stated, they can check 100 times to cut once. (using the measure multiple times to cut once adage.) (Makes sense to me..)

I am thankful!
