Here's my machine. It's good for keeping my wife and daughter where I can keep an eye on them. ;)

 
Caught a pretty good mess of fish today!

Caught em on lures. A silver lucky 13 and a Rapala minnow with a small lip that sends it about a foot deep. As for a knife I used a crappy electric knife because I didn't have anything else! Fried em up for dinner and I tell you what not much tast better then fresh fried fish![emoji1303][emoji16]

Now that is the truth. Not much tastes as great as a fish that was swimming when you woke up this morning.

My wife and I took advantage of a break in the rain this morning and took a drive along the stretch of Highway 1 between Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz. It was quite windy and the sea foam was clumping in big, undulating mounds on the shore. Occasionally bits would break free and fly down the shoreline like clusters soap bubbles.

This photo was the best I was able to capture it, but it doesn't do it full justice.

I hope everyone's having a good weekend.
 
That is a cool photo. I spent the day in the woods with my wife, daughter, dad, sister, and niece. We managed to drill and hang 440 sap buckets, getting ready for maple syrup season. If things go well, we'll do another 300 tomorrow, and then start collecting sap, maybe even stay up late and boil it down. If not, we'll collect again Monday, and boil it all. We're crossing our fingers for a good season. Last year after subtracting all the materials and maintenance costs, fuel, wood, etc., we figure we made about $0.50 per hour for our time. hahahah
 
Cool pic Greg :) It was sunny here yesterday, so I went out for a hike, had a good day :) :thumbup:
 
Rookie82 and Jack, I'm glad you enjoyed the photo. It was quite something to witness!

Very cool that your producing your own maple syrup, Rookie82. That sounds like a lot of work, but I'd venture that it must be a huge sense of accomplishment when the refining is complete and you get a sip of the finished product. Good luck with your tasks today.

Jack, I've been very glad to hear of your recent hikes. I'm itching to get back to the trails myself. :thumbup:

Thanks Greg, yes, my own foot-wings have been a bit clipped recently, so it was great to be able to get out on the hills :)

Great stuff Rookie82, I was reading an interesting article about maple syrup just this week :) Roll on Pancake Day! :thumbup:
 
We managed to collect over 800 gallons of sap today, even though we had some equipment breakdowns. We started at 7am, and finished boiling around 10pm, so it was a long day. I am the 5th generation in my family to make maple syrup, and some of it comes from 120 year old trees that my great-great-grandfather planted. My daughter is now the 6th generation to make syrup, I'm happy she enjoys it. We make enough to sell a little to friends and family, but we do it because we love to do it, not for any monetary gain. There are certainly much better ways to spend this amount of time and make more money.
