Whats up for the weekend?

Last night was a bit depressing for me. Time getting near for kids to go to school, preseason football comes, the end is near. I'm not ready for it to end - seems like we just got here. Sidelined due to bleeped up knee not helping matters. Soon choices will be need between watching a game and catching a tide. As the days get shorter and the daytime bite gets better, trying to do both at the same time has limited result.

Why bring this up? It seems like the late August cool breeze has come a little early. The fall runs we have in our minds being historically as October has more reliably been September. Too easy to get blown out in October. Too much of this, too much of that, before you know it...

Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun

I'm telling you to run - go fishing. Its going to start gearing up soon and then it will be gone.

So what's up for the weekend?

Dog sitting for Raider Ronnie's boxer Dakota (formerly my own). It's funny because she and my other dog are behaving like she never left.

Otherwise fishing, playing soccer, and yard work. I'm off all next week!

Dropping my "new" 73' 20CC seacraft in the water this weekend. To say im pumped is an understatement.

i was stressed about trying to squeeze in fishing around hanging with the kid and my wife working all weekend, but after last night i'm not too worried about the fishing. just relax and try to get a few things done around the house and maybe bring my daughter somewhere for a day trip. Rig some eels and get ready for fall when she goes to bed.

Replacing windows at Chuckie's house.:jump1:

I need rest... tonight I'm going to drink like a pirate ( at home) and reaquaint myself with my wife... after this week she probaly has forgotten that I live there... except maybe for the pile of fishy smelling clothes in the washer...:fury:

LMAO... she'll join me, we'll rehash the week, laugh a little and she'll probably be snoring B 4 me ( B sides.. I never said I was drinking alcohol, just was stating I was thirsty).. she's survived many a season, women like her are a rare and disappearing breed...I dont fish weekends.. she owns me until sunday night.Besides... I've got all winter to drive her bug house...by May she'll be begging me to go fishing!

Been sick all week. Post cancer operation complications.Yeah, it's back again.

Almost ended up in the ER in San Fran but gutted it out and made it home Tuesday night.

Maybe fish out of the boat Sunday depending how I feel

In training for most of the weekend...going to try and drown some eels tonight for a couple of hours.

Got a going away to college party for my nephew/godson to go to tomorrow.

Off to the Falmouth Road Race, our annual trip. It does signal the end of the summer vaca, sad....

SB Kids Day at Mattapoisett - Kids have been watching OTW tv to get ready...:fishin:

Buying a frig / micro and all that other stuf kids need in college :)

Going to put the boat in the water if I get the chance ,,, time is NOT on my side

lol

Fishing has been pretty slow but I would still rather be out and not catching than sitting in front of the TV or out at a bar so I’ll be out again most of the weekend. Throwing eels tonight somewhere in RI, beach day with the dog tomorrow and maybe some kayak fluking, hit the surf again Saturday night and then taking the boat out on Sunday… possibly fish again Sunday night.

That sucks, Paul. Kick it's ass and get yourself feeling better again soon!

Out for dinner with the family tonight, then a kids movie with my son. Fish tomorrow morning, then home to take care of a neglected yard and pool before getting some rest. Tomorrow night going out with the wife for a friends 40th surprise b-day party. Looking forward to taking the son to Mattapoisett for the SB kids fishing day on Sunday.

So what's up for the weekend?

I feel the same way. Summer is going by way too fast and I don't like what is on the other side. I enjoy fishing in September but I will take June anyday.

Hanging out with Mom & Dad on Nantucket.
Trying not to buy $27 baseball hats.


Hang in there Paul. Dig in your heels. Go fish.

The great thing about weekends is I never have to plan to do anything..the wife already has that under controll by the wed.before.

Splitting wood

Fishing

met with boss today and he said the next few weeks will be absolute hell, I've thought that about the last few months!
So I could stress all weekend or...
tonight dinner/drinks with friends, kids are both away for the night
tomorrow, early am get some snappers for bait and head out for some fluke
dinner at my sisters
sunday, plan with the wife for the next few weeks, try to minimize the impact of work on the home life.

Clean the pool tomorrow morning, then lay in the sun and swim the rest of the day, Sunday maybe hit the canal weather depending

I am envisioning a large circular rock, spinning, with my nose mashed into it...

Was invited to go out for some tuna but never got the call back.Now I'll put in 8hrs of OT for Sat and Sun I'll lounge and eat some littlenecks and maybe a lobster.

well last weekend i dragged the boat to ct (had a reunion on sat and was gonna fish sunday)m but awoke to crazy flood like rain....boat and i came home only being wet by rain, so i'm gonna try LI sound again tomarrow, launching out of old saybrook. Fluke by day bass at night.......full moon

Fly home. yaaa, watch my son's summer play.

Fish Sunday, throw crew overboard,

try not to think about Service Oriented Architectures and Federated Single Signon for maybe 10-30 consecutive minutes.
