There's a lot more Canadian friends back in Canada. The vast majority have gone back home for the summer. I walked one of the campgrounds yesterday and most were locals out for the weekend. Getting more families out on spring break. We'll be seeing the local highschool seniors out there for "senior cut day" soon too. They go back to a ledge overlooking the river they call "the cliffs" and jump off into the water. We'll also start seeing the heat injuries, especially now when people aren't drinking water and the climbing temps and just not being prepared.

 

...on my 2nd cup. Should be good for a while.

 

The "real" season starts in a couple weeks. This was a warm up mission to get the assholes out of the new line.
Nothing worse than getting knotted up on opening morning.
Think it's stretched out now.

 

Same here. Been up since 3:30, fished and already replaced a floodlight fixture over the garage.
Had one of those motion sensor jobs that burned at half wattage till it's tripped. Sensor failed due to UV's killing it. Replaced with same. Lasted 20 years.

 

If you get really bored or are nearing sugar-coma from too many marshmallow peeps...

I use that excuse .
I usually just hook my line to a tree and walk back 40 yard and set them in a cement block for the afternoon.
I’m very bad with my line.
Some guys change their line like 3 times a year. I change mine like mmmmmm like every 3 years ?
Haven’t changed my braid and this will be my third year I think.
Dono. I cut back my mono on the two rods I have 5 feet every spring for the nicks etc.

 

I’m watching you... tee heee..

 

Both mine started last fall, made it through hunting season then they basically "blew out" the last day. Lucky I wasn't 10 miles away from the truck but loading it to head home. Doc said if they weren't better by Christmas to come back and get cortisone injections. Tomorrow is April 1? Guess I better schedule an appointment with him. Not getting any better on their own. Several of my friends have mentioned it is the first step in getting new knees. Just wonderful.

 

Next time he asks for a draw off shrug your shoulders and walk away...

I cut out a couple times...and cut back in before going for a ride to the bottom.
Worse part was the splinters and Creo burns.

 

Last year I twisted my knee getting out of truck. Still in pain 4 months later. Neighbor suggest,,,, now don't laugh. Apple Cider Vinegar with Mothers,
Mix a spoon full with 1/2 glass 4oz fruit juice.
I did this every other day and in 1 week pain was gone.
Twice I stopped and pain came back, start up again, pain went away.

 

If I was there the 100° heat might drive me North. But still has a ways to go before I loose the coat. Although lately been wearing just a thermal zip neck undershirt and washed canvas shirt.



Damn wind. Wanted to smoke some things for Easter. Might wait until tomorrow now looks like it will be almost nice then

I saw this movie but it started 19 years ago told me the same thing ..better living through chemistry till that don't work ..then I will make that appointment .

The folks living below the border drag their feet because there's usually a storm lurking. Some people take a couple weeks to get home. Canadians usually drag their feet leaving then have to bomb home through whatever is in their way. We had a bunch come down early so they had to suck it up. 2 weeks ago is when the exodus began so they were wasting days in roadside campgrounds at high prices waiting for the roads to clear.

 

FYI
My buddy had a shoulder and knee replacement.
He plays tennis 2 times a week and older than I am.

 

Good Morning Everyone !!!

Currently 71° and overcast with a high temp expected to reach 82° today

 

I’m trying to think of a comeback for this and I can’t.
That is an awesome picture..
Nice job sir....
