For everyone anxiously awaiting this week's River Day post, I apologize for taking so long to get around to it. Work has this nagging habit of getting in the way of personal stuff.
Everyone made it down again this week: Jay, Ted, Tim and I (Mark). Even though it was about 10 degrees cooler than last week, the weather was still nice. Tim tried his hand at fishing again this week. Nothing biting, but I figure his chances of catching something were about 100% greater than the rest of us.
I'm sure it seems like these posts are all about the fire, and if you weren't convinced before, this week should remove all doubts. This week marked the annual burning of the 2011/2012 Christmas tree from the Tim Harper household. This is a highly anticipated event and much of the fire prep revolved around that. We made sure we had a nice hot bed of coals, and even prepared an elevated platform for the "offering". Pyros around the world would all be proud of this moment. Watching it go kinda makes you wonder why you would ever put a live tree in your house, all covered with wires and lights. Makes for a spectacular fire though.
Enjoyed a nice evening once again!
The New River Tour!
Mark,
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Loves the picture of the tree on the pallet, the other pictures were really good too. No better way to start out the week. Where else can you get in a little fishing and some golfing in January while enjoying a beer and stogie by best fire on the river?! Monday Nights Baby!!
