Curious to hear how that's going to play out.
Are boat ramps closed in RI? Even those not in State parks?

No. Will still be mobbed.

Even though we had three days of decent weather, I used two to get some sealer on all the carvings I had done and a bench I'm refinishing, but yesterday I finally got back out on the water. It was a beautiful day, the eagles were flying on occasion, the big pickeral were everywhere and with water temperatures finally climbing into the low fifties, a couple nice smallies decided to come shallow to feed. Near the end of the day a pickeral took a hair jig deep and wasn't going to make it, so I gave him a chuck suspecting the eagle sitting on top of a pine a couple hundred yards away might take interest. Once I moved to a distance he felt safe coming down for dinner, I got a good look with the binoculars as he took the pickeral back to the nest.

ps to John: I've asked before and haven't got the answer. I post first uploading this picture and didn't preview and notice on posting the picture is upside down. I go back, open the picture in paint, rotate (even though it looks fine) 90 degrees twice to correct, delete original, upload again even though it's now upside down and it posts upside down. I delete pic, open in paint rotate back to the way it was originally, upload again and it's now perfect. So why does this happen?

Here are a couple pieces I finished off in self confinement over the past couple nice days.

ps to John: So I upload all three, preview, all three are on their side. I go to paint, rotate each to mirror that position, even though I know it's wrong, close a save. I open each again in paint, rotate back to vertical and the original, close and save, upload again here and they are upright as they were, am I the only one seeing this?

Sane? The middle one is a stay at home self portrait.

One thing I really miss about confinement is a good haircut. Anyone out there resort to cutting your own hair yet? Thinking about getting one of those cut your own hair kits.

oh yeah...Ive had 4 haircuts in the last week! LOL First was a little self "trim"...very timidly because I know how badly things can go, the second one was the typical over confident mistake because I got cocky after the first round, third one was begging my husband to at least make sure it was even in the back (somehow two more inches came off but I dare not complain or he'lll never do it again) and the fourth one was a follow up to the third one to blend a few things together all in all it actually isn't so bad at the moment!

Me too, I has haven't had hair this long since the 70's... I told Nancy I'll put it into a man bun(just kidding her) she promised me if I did I'd wake up bald in the morning...I believe her.

On the Covid front, still working, wearing mandatory masks with a nurse at the door doing daily temp checks when we arrive..I went to store for the first time since the first week of March, the breaker on the electric stove lost a leg, so I masked up, gloved up and did the deed, left my clothes at the garage door and hit the shower immediately..

Nancy and I bottled 46 bottles of oatmeal stout last night...Saturday, we are planning on brewing a batch of Red Ale.

I moved the lobster pots out from behind the shed, I should get through checking them Sunday..covers coming off the boat this weekend..
