First spring day back at my favorite river spot. Something to be savored.
Let's talk life's simple pleasures
- Thread starter swimmy
- Start date
Lounging in my hammock hanging over the beach suspended from alders hanging off the bluff on a warm summer day at Pt. Defiance. Bonus points if I take a good book and a cooler with a few beers and hang out for an afternoon.
Casting flies off my favorite area 9 coho beach in early October. Nasty weather, not a soul around, the smell of fall in the air, and the chance for a big hooknose. God I miss that.
Wide open throttle on a flat Puget Sound, running back to the launch as the sun is starting to set behind me.
Finding the blue water break and spotting albacore boiling on the surface
A perfectly cooked ribeye
When your flatwing feather ties in flat on the first attempt
The feel of driving the hook home with a perfectly executed strip set
A vodka tonic on the front porch on a beautiful September evening
Gaffing @Irafly halibut

Must be the shorts!Walking by a chick and getting "the look."
A hot shower and an icy cold beer (or glass of lemonade for the nondrinkers) after you finish a long backpacking trip.
Walking by a chick and getting "the look."
That'd be about a 40 year drought in simple pleasures for me, good thing I'm very happily married and still get "the look" from the wife (who would give me the dope slap upside the head if I referred to her as a "chick").
cheers
I don't drink anymore, but yeah, those first couple sips of a hearty amber ale from a pint glass after long day...
(After that it's all down hill, but those first ones are the best
)

My drinking days are decades behind me, but I do fondly recall getting a six pack and greasy burger for the drive home after long backpacking trips.
Everyday I marvel at the simple pleasure of a hot shower.
Super heat wave in Europe with record high temperatures being set everyday, so I'm marveling at the simple pleasures of a cold shower.
