Where Did Summer Go?
Man alive I can't grasp the fact that summer is nearly over, boy did that go quickly. Nice week here, lots of rain and the first little hint that temperatures might be cooling off just a little. Pop and Dink had a good week; Dink has been taking physical therapy to help with her arthritic hip; Daddy has been stable with no major pains to discuss.
I thought that picture might get your attention. I saw a bumper sticker the other day that said "If it's too cold for bikinis it's too cold" I haven't seen enough bikinis this year; too windy, timing wasn't right, raining, the list goes on......................Could also be that the crowd I hang out with doesn't wear bikinis anymore. Seems as though I see more at the WalMart than on boats or at the beach. Course I could help my own cause if I ever actually went to the beach, but that's another subject for another time.
Davis is on his way here as I write this, bringing a new company vehicle. FO heard he was coming so he will be on his way this evening. The winds are supposed to be up, Danielle is throwing a good swell our way, so most of our fishing should be in the sound Saturday. Maybe we can find some flounder, or get back into the shipping channel and catch some VA mullet and greys like I found a few weeks ago. Regardless we plan to have some fun, and possibly have a beer or 17.
Home again next week; one major project for AHRI due, and then look for a tow vehicle. Think we're going to let Baby go; she's turning 21 this fall, and we figure it's about time to let someone else tend to her. Anyone care for a 90 Miata? Anyone care to trade for a jeep or an old pickup?
Behave yourselves out there; fishing pictures next week
