I KNOW NNOTTHHHIIINNNGGGG!!!!! :hee:

Officially, Christmas Eve was always a biggy at our home growing up - so tonight it's tons of finger food and sweets, the traditional cup of 'Nog or ...uhhh...two (I've got a quart of eggnog and a half-gallon of rum) - stuff Mrs. Crafty's stocking with fishing stuff since she started surfcasting this past season with me - and if she doesn't like what she got, well.....we'll find something to do with it. But that's not likely, she now enjoys it all!

Tomorrow, Christmas Day, it's dinner with my Italian uncle and the cousins - no feesh, though - it's a prime rib and a rack of lamb. He's the oldest living member of my family at 93 (my aunt is a very young 92 ) and they're a hoot - sharp as a tack and they remember RI and Newport waaay back when - URI Class of '34. It's amazing to hear first-hand stories of the Great Hurricane, the Bellevue Avenue crowd and my grandpa's career as a...well, importer of fine spirits to Newport - etc etc. It's gonna be fun, anyway. Until a couple of years ago my uncle was still shooting his age at the Newport CC - and he can martini most people under the table with ease. It's all in the genes he says - I hope I've got them -

Let's see....Sunday we'll do a ham for ourselves, warm German potato salad, deviled eggs, etc etc. And perhaps another cup of rum laced with eggnog :hihi: It wouldn't be Christmas without it!

But during it all let's all take a moment to stop and bow our heads to remember those who are far from home and family - and say a prayer for their safe return.

Buon Natale, y'all :wave: The very best to you and yours from me and Mrs. Crafty!

im going to stare at You

I'm pouring plastic for Monahans in Weymouth and Sandwich Bait & Tackle over the weekend, but I did get a jump on my weekend today:) with a cold but outstanding day on the water. I've got Monday off, so I'm hoping to repeat then if the fish will cooperate.

Takin my girl to the airport tomorrow morning and them I'm single for a week!Geez if this was happening between April and November I'd go fishing every night!

basswipe there are still bass to be caught... Try providence :yak:

Staying home and relaxing. Have the family coming over for prime rib dinner. On vacation till after the New Year so I'll be hanging out in my cave, starting my first batch of plugs....I think Santa brought me a new air brush.:D Happy Holidays To All..

I fished the river year before last with some good success.
Nothing big but it was nice to bend a rod in January.

I've also had shore access to a local power plant warm water discharge and have done well there.I haven't done that since before Sept.11 '01 so I don't know what the possibility of that is anymore.I haven't talked to my friend who works there in quite some time.Maybe I'll ring him.

Worked yesterday, then to the girlie's parents at night.
Cooking brunch at her house this am, then back here to cook dinner for my parents. Word on the street says there's gonna be a raging party at my house tonight, something like 40 people...Hope I don't get arrested!!!
Merry Christmas everybody!!!
Rick
