Tried to be a good Samaritan last night. We were at a bar and I noticed a guy at the back table had slid out in the floor so I picked him up off the floor, and offered to take him home. On the way to my car, he fell down three times. When I get to his house, I helped him out of the car, and on the way to the front door, he fell down four more times. I rang the bell and said, "Here's your husband!" The man's wife says, "Where's his wheelchair?"

The fishing thing is not just about catching fish. It's about getting out and enjoying nature, and depending on the location, the peace and serenity that comes with the location. I have drowned many a worm and never caught a thing and was happy.

That's too funny
 
Vermont Smoke & Cure cob smoked maple bacon and chocolate chip pancakes for me and the girls on this rainy Sunday. My little one says (after finishing all her bacon) "I don't really like chocolate chips in the pancakes"....I almost took her temperature, but she ate the bacon, so - I revoked her license to be 9.

Speaking about poop.... You ever go to the bathroom and spend some quality time on the throne and walk out of there super hungry?

I'm with you on the meme.

As far as fishing goes, I did just what you described on Thursday, but it was colder and I was perfectly happy. To compare it to something I think you understand, I think I remember you saying you like to drive. I'm like that too, give me a tank of fuel and an open road and I'm happy. Have you ever jumped in your car and drove with no destination in mind and still enjoyed it? Its not about the destination or the fish....its just something you enjoy doing for no real reason.

I don't get fishing "as a zen" thing, but I totally understand it as related to mindlessly driving. I do that probably once a month when it's nice out. I will fill up a tank of gas and drive till it's about half gone, then drive back home.
I usually get quizzed about where I was, where I went, what I ate. But I think that is more jealousy than anything. Every time is different.

Fishing is a blast, whether you catch anything or not. It's very relaxing for me, even if I am casting and reeling in all day long. I used to go all the time, but hadn't gone for years. When my son and I went a few weeks ago, it gave me the fever again. I need to go get a new license. The old expires tomorrow.

I'm heading to gander mountain in a few to re-up. Stupid out of state fee makes it like $40. Missouri though it's only $12 or maybe $7, I don't remember, for in state. They need to just make them reciprocal if you get the one from your state I'd you're out of town but have yours you're fine.

This I would be fine with. We were crappie and bass fishing and just nothing was biting.

That isn't that odd. The worst is when you're in the bathroom with a healthy constitution and go to stand up and face plant the wall cause your legs and feet are asleep!
 
Bought a small Primus propane lantern with the idea of kayak transport. It sucked. I could not get it to stay lit or get the Piezo starter to work. Sent it back.
Tomorrow night, I'm camping out, and I'm going to try a few battery-powered lighting options.

I have a Led Lantern but it kinda sucks. I would like to find a few Led lanterns that are actually good. Let me know what you find Guyon.
 
slept in a bit, made breakfast & ate it, had an unhealthy constitutional (Red Robin for dinner Friday and 5 guys last night), and have caught up on the snark thread -- nap time now?
