A good day of fishing spoiled........
So I got up early this morning and went trout fishing, got my limit before 8:00 and then caught a few big Spanish, some speckled trout, a 2 pound spot and a whole mess of crappies......something that I've been feeding you with this sentence. Bobby and Davis, sit down and let your blood pressure calm down, I didn't go; might go for a couple of hours tomorrow morning if the wind isn't too bad. I'll let you know
Ballgame last night: West lost to famous movie director West Craven 52-35. West Craven is pretty good, # 7 in the state (someone beside me, name not mentioned for obvious reasons asked if that was good, I said well # 7 in the state, she asked how many were in the state; not going to mention her name for fear of reprisal, let's call her She Who Must Be Obeyed; the guy next to me told her we are #7 ....in our conference; don't think it registered because where she's from you're either #1 or 2 in the state; nothing else is acceptable) Anyway we scored first on a good drive, they scored on the first play from scrimmage. Kind of like that all night; they had several big plays, long runs and passes for TD's. Jackson had 7 punts; 42,37,35,19,39,25,23.........31.4 average for the night. Had a shank at the end of the first half, but still put them inside the 15, where they scored from on the first play. That type of night.
Oh, what's this? Why thank you for asking.....this is the trophy I won at the Seafood Festival Golf Tournament. It's a Brant decoy hand carved by Joe Fulcher Jr. 18" from stem to stern; can't decide whether to put lead on the bottom and use it as a decoy, or drill a hole in it and wear it around my neck as bling.....you know, when I'm hanging with my posse........... What do you think?
I'm all out of trite metaphors; So that's it from the old eastern shore. Go Yanks

Go get you two pieces of rope and a chisel.
1. Take the chisel and hollow out a size 7 1/2 hat size in the bottom.
2. Take the two pieces of rope and tack onto either side to tie it on your head.
It would serve 2 purposes...I think it would make a great piece of headgear AND you would be able to tell how you won it.
Anyone else want to weigh in on this?
Yep, I will, Dave...well, I'm at about 190 right now which is not as good as what I call my 'fighting weight' when I really feel my best, which is 178 (even though the last time I was actually in a fight was in the 3rd grade when Billy Inscoe whupped me by kicking me in the face with his foot...I didn't know that was fair... and I decided that perhaps my forte and chances of survival existed best in expounding words rather than pounding fists) and it's much better than six months ago when it was for the first time in my life over 205. But with proper diet (yes, that included eliminating "Moon Pie" and 'vienna sausage'from my vocabulary) and exercise (I worked on flipping the tv channels faster plus really, really thought about walking two miles each day) I was able to bring my weight back down to a somewhat acceptable level although I realize that it will never ever be close again to the 150 pounds I weighed when I got married 32 years ago. Of course, it is doubtful that anything else will ever be close again to what it was when I got married 32 years ago, so I guess that works out about even.
Oh,...I get it now. That's not really what you meant when you wanted me to weigh in is it, Dave?
OK.
Yep...I'd start with the two pieces of rope..........
Another Fishin Classic...I wonder if our children will keep up with these like we keep up with the "Lottism's and Dinkism's". Yep, weight loss is an ongoing battle. Cheer up though, vienna sausage and potted meat have no carbs and if you are a carb counter, that's great news. Pork rinds are also tasty 0 carb snacks. Did Jduke ever tell you about Terri and the pork rind story?
Terri who?
