Luck almost ran out
After all these years being out in all kinds of weather I finally got buzzed by lightning. The main bolt hit a tree and an arc jumped out and got me on the left hand. Left me with full drawers and a new breakdancing record in 'Fat Hillbilly category'.

Adventures with my wife
We went to check out a small state lake someone told my wife about yesterday. Pulling up that morning it looked really good, ya know....... FISHY!

But after considering running away form home I realized there is a pond 1.5 miles from the house......... Hmmmmmmm!

My wife's first fly fishing outing....
Well here we go off on our grand adventure to a small local lake.
the adventure being my wife and her "new" vintage fly rod/reel.
I had planned to begin teaching her basic casting in the back yard but NOOOOOOOOO....... She wants to dive right in.
She says she's watched me do it for years and believes she already knows what to do.
I'm suddenly very afraid.....
