Still a powerfully handsome pair, Ron.
Thank you, pal. You brought me out of my period of somnolence.
Thanks, Jeff. The fishing was fine, hot weather for the week, but fish were biting. We scored lots of Spanish mackerels and bluefish while trolling, and ate them all (grilled and broiled) each evening. Here's a bit of knife porn from my fishing locker:
No fish pics, as my hands were either slimey or gripping a drink and not suited for holding my phone. Plus, the fish were dead.
While fishing with a very youthful (to me), and distracted, crew, I asked several of the younger guys (in their late-20's) if they could swear off social media for a day or two. Email was OK to see and pay bills. They took me up and two days later, I bought dinner and the bar bill for a lot of happy guys (who all admitted that they liked the break). I took the break a little longer and missed a good bit of this thread. Apologies to all for my radio silence - it was benevolent, not begrudging. I'm slowly coming up to speed for BF and my other internet haunts, but it has been halting.
