Ya me too Bob. I never sheltered in place. I never stayed home or any of the other BS they have spread. I wear a mask because they won't let me into the stores without it.  |
No boat, back in the suds.

As you may have heard, four F15's flew over most of the Boston and Worcester area hospitals a few days ago. Well aren't I sitting in my kayak on a local pond, as it has some good smallmouth and pickeral fishing and the bonus is watching the eagles that nest on a small island in the middle of this small pond sitting in conservation land. So I'm watching the two trying to decide which of the spawning shad schools to maybe swoop down on and I hear the roar of the F15's approaching from the south. They flew low and directly overhead on route to Boston, pretty cool sight for sure.
I was happy to get out yesterday to finally tee one up after my course opened. It wasn't pretty on the front, but a lot of the rust was gone by the turn and I managed an 81, which I'm happy with after almost a 3 month layoff. Going to bing golf now until the sea bass get into upper BB.
Aren't we all enjoying this beautiful spring day  |

That sure sounds good. This is the time to 'yak all right; yakkers can social distance, and boat groups can't, so this is the time for yakkers to get OTW. Looking forward to my first 'yak striper trip in a couple of weeks with my buddies.

Then I can enter for work.

Wishing I had a job to go back to when this all ends.
My company let 40% of us go on April 1st. I had done a 14 hour SFDC upgrade for them the day before...wish they would have let me know a little bit before hand.
No furlough, just an 8 minute FU conference call from the CEO.
Whelp, gas at $1.43 a gallon makes it easy to travel to work on the boat.
Gonna be a great year to own a two stroke.
I also nuked my FB, best decision ever!!!
Today I convert to hydraulic steering...our tax dollars at work...FOR ME!

Trust me, that guy wasn’t me. In all reality, I’d suggest that everyone nukes their FB account.
I have lots of friends with lots of different opinions. I really don’t want to hear people’s points or counterpoints. I mean that in the nicest of ways.
Real politicians run for office. The rest of us are worse than back seat drivers. I’d just love it if people just shut up and see how November goes. That should take care of everything.
Getting that damned mechanical steering out of that boat SUUUUCKED!

It will be worth your trouble. I even converted my 17' Boston Whaler to hydraulic.

My younger brother is back at play with his one percenter friend... Flew down to Fort Lauderdale Tuesday with his son and another man. Jumped on 57' Gunboat 55 catamaran and headed north within hours of being launched... (ie. no sea trial, just go...) Not how I would have done it, but I don't cling to others' coattails either. He is sending in daily articles to www.SailingAnarchy.com It is like sailing on your living room couch at 15 knots. Interesting, but just hard to relate to for this common man.
From the reality column; Local guy, late fifties, coached my son's Little League team. Put on ventilator and was approved for course of remdesivir…… Sucks |

Reality hit home here as well, Peg was tested yesterday, no fever but really run down, headache and sore throat. Had to do some arm twisting to get her to call her primary and after a long phone conversation, they wanted to see her. They needed make and license, arrive, flash head lights and they come out to interview again before getting escorted inside. I don’t know if they were trying to give her hope, but they thought it might be something else, but they tested anyway. No clue where she would have picked up anything as we have been extremely cautious, will be a nerve racking two day wait for results.

The wife and i are both doing okay, work and health. Wish we could drive the beaches. Minimal supply runs. Highlights are LMB in canoe, Narrow River with flyrod and MGB rides. I do feel like we're blessed in these times.

Hope all goes well Bob.
As far as home confinement ....being "essential" has it's ups and downs....I get out of the house to go to work everyday....I guess thats an up...the down is that I get to expose myself everyday  I dont mind cooking and cleaning every night but damn I really miss going out now and again and letting someone do it for me....especially after a rough day! |
