River Day 03/31/2014

Spring is in the air (finally) at the river!  It was this week anyway.  We (Ted, Tim, Jay and I) enjoyed a mild afternoon at our usual spot; sunny skies and temps right around 60 degrees.  There was a fairly steady breeze most of the time we were there, so I wouldn't call it a warm evening, but at least we weren't bundled up like Nanook of the North for once.

Jay, Tim and I tried a little fishing (and really, how can you NOT at this time of year?) but none of us had any luck.  Still a little early for helgies.  I tried with a nightcrawler, Jay and Tim used lures.  We weren't discouraged; it just means we're getting closer to the first catch of the year!

Tim brought down another trailer load of pallets this week.  Looks like we're trying to build a condo.  Not that there's a shortage of stuff to burn this spring, but a pallet or two sure does kick the fire up to a respectable level.

No local activity at all this week, except for our regular visit from Freddy.  He was in good cheer this week, and even bought everyone a round!  We've noticed that we haven't seen Leo for a few weeks.  Not that we ever see a lot of him, but it's a little unusual not to see him at all.

Not much in the way of pics this week, just one of the best fire on the river, and another of what has now become my regular River Kit.

Once again, a great way to start the week.
