Weekend Plans ??

What's up for the weekend?

Nothing but resting a back (screwed up a week ago - still down) and maybe some geek work. Closest thing to fishing will be cutting the Kelp in my yard and maybe tying some leaders)

So what's up for the weekend?

I dunno, maybe figuring out what the hell to do with a full pallet of pavers Mrs Crafty won at a landscaping open house at one of the garden centers here on the island a few weeks ago

I just moved a full pallet of them last month redoing the yard - and now I've got another one to deal with...

Mrs Crafty: "Hey, hon - remember that contest I entered for the bricks? You'll never guess who called!"

Me:

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

Sorry to say it looks like we're going to use them, Cap - with the 'we' being in the editorial sense for the most part...

Looks like the weather's gonna break next week too - so at least I can get painting on the house while I'm resting from the brick work...

Ya know, I keep thinking - hey, this oughta fill up the old cookie jar - maybe I could do the Block or Cutty or something really cool in the Fall...

Suuuurrre.....

Actually, in all honesty, my bride does pitch in - thank God I married a German farm girl from the Midwest

Tidy up the yard for Jenn's RISD Girl week. Maybe take the yak out and see if I can keep it right side up.

Going back to new honey hole. Some big ones in there have broken me off in the rocks the past two mornings. Been fishing it from boat, and they have killed me heading to the rocks on shore. So this morning, after losing another couple good ones, I knocked on the door, asked and got permission to fish the property. Pulled out one about 28 pounds. I know the ones I lost had harder initial runs..... Property owners are having striper for dinner, and I have a new shore spot. Next will be to have a conversation about bringing anyone else with me.....

Heading out on the annual codfishing trip on the yankee capts. One of these days a tuna will take that jig.

Everything is better on the rocks.
