🏰 on the 20 the of Auggie

 🏰 an alternate day, away, coffee, yes, view rustic and fishing [ see a real change ]. And no fish sacrificed themselves this morning

rain threat lingers

Follow up: 12 noon and gloomy overcast scene  Met a former student for breakfast and catch up 

👹 Road notes for 19 the of VIII

 👹Coffee and everything bagel w / light touch of PB and J. View is a bit more rustic than usual  Highlights are trees and drizzle verging on steady 

Managed to slip out between the drops and wet my line. I decided to go a tad heavier and bigger. Plenty of hits but the takers were small ish. Overconfident sod !

Another try. Official results 2 X my bass count 

Lost a 2 # Largemouth at the dock in the scum mat

Over 20 sunfish - Victory in the lily pads

🫘 on the 18 th of VIII

  🫘 ... beans you say. This morning check in. Watered the wild flowers. Coffee and typing outlook on a sunny, slightly humid feel

Much to do w / seemingly plenty of time - always dangerous that bit.

Sun is dominant under the Eternal Blue. The Swedish have a traditional saying ' you can't slide in here on a shrimp sandwich ' - meaning denying privilege 

Lunch today was a ' East coast Nordic Shrimp Roll '   - flavourful hot doggy bun filled w / baby crustaceans blended in mayo and crisp veg / seasoned by Old Bay ( just like at home )

  🏞 sitting in the window seat at a gray world w / streaks of sun flickering and flashing thru

tea in hand, trying to wake up
more later

a slow rolling morning, ended at 11 AM. Breakfast call at the Magic Noodle. Oh, yea, won ton soup and gamo. A bit different, but very Asian. I met A ... for the purpose of transferring a fishing rod [ from the Q ' ] to the Subaru for possible fishing

Sorry. Sunny day w / built in humidity. The prospects certainly picked up from 7:30 A

🧑‍💻 airwoman of VIII

  🧑‍💻 ... what is the title ? I mis typed and the auto correct offered ' ........ ' you got it

I will look it up onAI

Slow start to the day. Rice, fish and cabbage for brekkies. Beer at 11:45 AM
Did manage a run to the Tiger, for $ 58 but ...... I bought a XL light tan cotton mix over shirt for summer as a cover up [ anti sun and anti bugs - b / c the bugs have been nailing me, especially, below the hat line ]

On fishing. Spring and into June brought work on the marine railway. An estimate for hiring out the job - started at $ 7 K, and that was lowball calculating. Real number more like $ 10 000.
Using friends and A ... as the erstwhile foreman, the cost came down to $ 3 000 and some hundreds { ? }. There is a problem of the used lighter rails and trolley [ might be of some value. That was always going to be an extra

I figure July 15 was my first fishing trip out. Since, maybe, 5 trips. All short - leave early / come home early. WL says August is always a tough month - I figure most months are tough

5 bass and shut out the last 4 trips.

💎 15 augustus

  💎 ...the Ides of Augustus, is upon us. Well, sitting and re  hydrating. Clouds are gray and threatening.

barely awake but should make tea ? n'est - ce pas ......

on sleeping culture or habit .... I was finding myself, alternately warm ish and then cool. Wearing a robe to bed seems to be the solution

revisio. sunny day / winds gusting. fine summer weather

exercise on schedule. hit the benchmarks

🍣 on the 14 th of the VIII

     🍣 ... is this part of the ' blogger-verse ' ? or more

Sitting and typing ..... casino app 201 and ochazuke
errands are Shoppers and oil change at Speedy

the morning report : Speedy. mechanic said that he was glad to see the car in good shape. Cost, all in, oil change and quick once over $ 120.

Shoppers was quiet and in and out accomplished. Detoured by the Liquor store. As a reward, naturally.

Thus, both vehicles are reliable and the Subaru hits the road soon 

Fishing. Dad took us fishing at 6 y.o. or so And three score and ten later, still doing it and looking forward as well
