  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

Great stuff, Carl. Love the story -- and the wisdom in it. :thumbup:

Really enjoy reading your stories Carl and I look forward to your next one. Thanks so much for sharing them with us.
 
Thanks for a great story. I will be taking Dad out for his annual fishing trip next week and all is good. My Case trapper and Buck 118 will be on duty.
 
Great story. Just about reaching the time of year when I can try for the trout in the loch behind my house. Thanks for that read Carl.
:)
 
Very good read indeed. As they all are. This one I found quite touching as I've grandkids on there way up now and getting older so hopefully I'll have time to teach them some things such as this. It is getting harder and harder in today's culture to impart that the "old days" may actually have something to offer that's not on their iPad.
 
Thanks Carl. I always enjoy reading your stories. The wisdom contained in each one is very thoughtful.
Charles
