You said “moist”.

And what is that a picture of. It’s some sort of large game fish eating???

A windsock?
A largemouth bass that is partially see-thru?

That my friend is a hooked Tarpon. Attempting to release a tiny little fly. It still amazes me these huge fish eat something so small yet get to the size they are.

 

[Dirtygirlndeer]

Good morning!
My Goddess is still asleep... tis a good opportunity for me to change the floats in the toilets... yeah, aim high!

One down, one to go!

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

Yes it does... no trout, but perch, bream, and smallmouth!

I’m in!

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

For my readers out there.



You don’t have to give one iota about fishing, but the story behind the men and women who chased the world record for Tarpon on the fly rivals any stories about obsession.

The single minded pursuit of the game fish to come out on top, the changing of the rules to always be in your favor, and the surprise ending reads like…well, Hollywood couldn’t make this stuff up!

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

Aaaaaaand…since I’m geeking out on all things Florida and Tarpon…

The readers will recognize a few names. The musicians will recognize one big name!

I’m always amazed how the planets line up so certain people can revolve in each others orbit. Think Left Bank in Paris or Laurel Canyon in Hollywood, and in this case, Key West for a collection of fishermen and outcasts who’d all become famous in their own right.

Morning B2. I had to catch up on the Super Bowl, I went to bed early. Hope you have a nice warm drive. We are getting up to 70 here today, more or less back to normal.

I wish the temperature was warmer but getting up into the 40s means a slow melt of a deep snow pack.

It’s BEAUTIFUL when things work properly.

Yeah and to have a hwh that sends hot water to said shower.
Money well spent

Did you get to go to the bathroom?

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Unfortunately the laptop will not be ready until tomorrow. There was a lot of crap from the hackers. So files saved and now a new install of Windows etc. I hate hackers. Fortunately it never affected my phone or iPad.

I have been watching the Olympics on USA live. In the morning I catch up watching YouTube.

I love the skiing: downhill, slalom and cross country. My LP loves the ice skating and it’s acceptable especially if she gets excited .

Enjoy the Olympics whatever your favorite sport!

I told someone that my stomach was grumbly

He said "you tell that cookie pit to shut its whore mouth"

Hey, Spoonies
Another week and the coworker will be back and I'll be back to working just one FTE instead of 2

What's up here today?

We must have smaller parties. We eat better than that. Or in our own minds we do. Gourmet junk food for the commercial bowl.

While I wouldn't bat an eye at seeing this in a family kitchen of ours, never have I ever seen a deli stadium. Cake, yes... deli, no

Auto correct is still reeling from that one.

Work it like a Rented Mule, @Wat_Tyler

I left the old dog out at 4. Then I had some toast and my coffee. I have grandpa taxi this morning. I feel good.

Sounds like a great morning, @B2fromA2looking4U

You must’ve had quite a week. We hardly saw you.

Hope you got good rest. Monday (the bastard) is beckoning.

Rest, yes... enough? Debateable
Just one more week just 4 more days

We did order a new mattress on the President's Day sale though.

Win Column! Reminds me - I need to shop for one, too. Wish I could find good info on VOC offgassing

I got stuck talking to two neighbors who I didn’t particularly want to get stuck yakking to who never shut up.

Ick! I hate getting stuck with Party Duds

Well, ya gotta aim somewhere at the toilet…

search "Toilet Bullseye" online
happy shopping
Got my brother a nightlight version - his kids love it!!

I didn't even know it was super bowl Sunday until I opened the thread. I

Same but with sibling texts about some Squares betting game

Stop it!
Just looking at this one made me yawn!

my cats would get me, too... but has to be IRL I guess?

I wake up and the client I didn't want to deal with canceled on me... yay

As L2 would say… win column!!

You betcha!!

Gigantic win column.

It's a simple thing

IMO the simple things in life hold a unique elegance and beauty. So easy and yet so often overlooked.

Y'all should come visit us in these beautiful Ozark Mountains sometime... check out the Buffalo River!

Open invitation? Sweet!!

Isn’t it science?

My 85 yr old blue collar dad couldnt remember his name and was calling him angry squirrel

Bless - best laugh all day!

The kiddies, most who only show up to party and aren’t into the music so much, queued up 48 hrs out at the two places selling them in town.

I remember having to do that for a summer swimming pool membership decades ago. I spent the most time camping in like for the membership and the least amount of time in the pool.

And makes me so incredibly happy to wake up to it being there. And not just because it’s awesome to have coffee as soon as I open my eyes. But, because it means he’s home with me!

Right there. May be something small and simple on the one side but larger and more meaningful on the other

For my readers out there

My library doesn't carry it, but in searching for that title, I came across another author whose works are on topics discussed here from time to time.
Monte Burch

Unfortunately the laptop will not be ready until tomorrow. There was a lot of crap from the hackers. So files saved and now a new install of Windows etc. I hate hackers. Fortunately it never affected my phone or iPad.

But - still a win in my book
Laptop is not a brick - repairable
And phone and tablet both unscathed

Finally

Hope the install went well and your indoor plumbing is back in order!!

I love the skiing: downhill, slalom and cross country. My LP loves the ice skating and it’s acceptable especially if she gets excited

Another spoonie shopping for a new mattress?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Feast on a jumbo sized bag o' dicks???

Smegma brandTM

 

[Wat_Tyler]
