Spent that day[8th anniversary] packing the 26' U-Haul for the move back to the Cape from Rangeley Maine.Photos of Steve taken off the walls of the shop and put in the truck.Amazing how the time flies.The senior angler from Truro and I speak about Steve all the time and being with him after trout fishing at the Red Barn in Eastham eating pizza and joking for hours the day before his passing.Still unpacking boxes and just got on line today.The new shop will be up and running in a couple of weeks with Steve will be there[picture] in the TinCan slipping up on the beach at Sandy Neck with the Professor &I for lunch after a morning casting to rolling fish on the Barnstable/Dennis flats.RIP Steve.
