Let's talk life's simple pleasures

[Capt Insano Emeritis]

I agree. I think clamps are like fly rods in that respect.

More like flies , can’t ever have enough bugs

One never has enough clamps!

Outstanding project, and a major memory maker!

Building a cedar strip canoe because my 6 yo fishing buddy has outgrown the bow of my frameless pontoon.

Impressive Jake!

I just hope it floats. Still scratching my head about how to finish the bottom of the hull.

He’s hoping I’ll get him out fishing . He thought he’d try it on his own , no telling where he’d be if off the leash

@Jake not sure that qualifies as simple but awesome work.

How about the first wet wade of the summer?

Yes, I got to do that as well.

Running my fishing mentor around on an unknown to us lake in Manitoba, and eventually getting him into the best fish of the trip.
Trip report coming soon, still in Winnipeg 6am flight home tomorrow.

My favorite way to fish!

Cold? Just step out of the water. One of life's simple pleasures...

When the first strawberries of the season are ripe! Strawberry shortcake for dessert is a simple pleasure I always look forward to.

Mine finally came on strong yesterday.
Ripening faster than the squirrel can eat them.

Once you've had them.... grandchildren.

The smell of decaying grass and cow shit makes me weirdly happy; it takes me back to fly fishing, in my youth, on a farm. The mental association to that smell is extremely strong.

There's some undeveloped land, near my new home, that is basically a swamp. It has that smell. Many great memories are triggered every time I walk past. It's super weird.

In the same boat except mine is triggered by horse shit and takes me to my time on a ranch

Sunny day in Fredrick sound. Life is good.

Returning home to the ones you love after time away.

I actually tied my own shoes today without issue. First time in 2 years. HELL yeah.
