Tim, Jay, and Pat (happy faces) |
Not so happy face |
Ted, Pat, Jay, Tim and I all made it down this week to enjoy a Monday on the New. And let's not forget Freddy. Weather was partly cloudy, with temps in the low 80's. There were a few sprinkles just before we left, but we weren't bothered by it.
I was the only one to try a little fishing this week, and caught two: a decent smallmouth and a red-eye. Any catch is a good catch. The water level was down this week, almost to the normal level for this time of year, so I was able to make the hike through the grass and rocks to get to the main current. Took a little spill on the walk back, but no injuries.
We built a pretty good fire with the intention of doing a little pitchfork cooking (hotdogs of course), but we decided to use the gas grill for convenience. We even had some barbeque sauce for old time's sake. The only thing that would have completed the dinner would have been some macaroni salad. In the early days of National River Day, the mac salad was David's usual contribution.
We have a few pics this week, including one of a brick that I found unusual. Not sure if you can tell from the photo, but moss had grown on the brick only in the indention where the manufacturer's name is imprinted in it. Just looked kind of neat.
Okay folks, as we're reminded this week, life is short. Get out and enjoy your River Days with your loved ones, wherever you are.
