Best wishes to you and your wife, Gary!

Three hours of thunder and lightning last night with five minutes of rain (probably localized rain). The brief rain lowered the AQI from mid 160's to 87 which I think will be brief given all the lightning strikes last night.

I was in the Desert Fly Angler today shootin' the breeze with Darc; he showed me the picture of you two but it didn't dawn on me that you were both wearing "hats" with store name and the Jim Beam. How unobservant of me. ;-) Nicely done @MrP !

4:00 pm, a half cup of black coffee after my nap;-)

Growing up close to the Dungeness river, our black lab didn't feast on salmon carcasses, he rolled in them. And he wondered why mom wouldn't let him in the house sometimes. I remember my brother and I bathing the dog in an irrigation ditch to get the stink and rot off him. ;-)

Maybe it is for a used boat but it’s all there. Would a brand new boat, oars, trailer for $4grand be overpriced? I keep looking for the right boat and pretty much everything is overpriced or needs too much attention so I pass

With some wind and a pretty good algae bloom = TOUGH seeing fish but I did see a few rooters (Thanks, Leigh!)

I spent many years working with fisheries scientists on assorted projects and I think with only one exception, they all dissed (distained?) caprs. Me? I get a huge charge of joy when I'm able to fool one. They PULL hard.

Wildfire smoke has been pretty thick but lightened today so I grabbed the 8 weight and headed out. The water was glass smooth which did let me spot a few fish. If there'd been much of a riffle (which I prefer on CLEAR days) I don't think I would have had much chance of seeing fish before I...

My wife taught me this trick (this year). Work really well and a LOT easier than grilling it.

Got somethin' against ole rubber lips? (I'd too had been wondering about those toothy critters)

The enlisted men's club outside of the Navy base in Yokosuka used to rock when Filipina bands playing Santana came 'round:

Boogie woogie, rock n roll, hard to sit still and listen (and watch).
