🇦🇶 23 rd of Julius

  🇦🇶 .... in the window seat and the view is ... high Eternal Blue / full sun .... temperature likely mid 70 s today. Black tea and typing. Both coffee and rice brewing / bubbling

reporting.... night time adventure. Leave the house at 10 :10 PM bound up the street to gas station row [ approx 6 ] for gas price reduction time. Shell station was chock a block at $ 1.60 per L. Noope ! Further on the king of the low price, Pioneer, was $ 1.62 / L BUT 4 cars for 7 bays.
I settled for the 162. 52 L in all. Checking this AM, Pioneer is listed at $1.79. Calculating, gets me $8.50 savings. First time, last time ?

the tale of the fishing trip. enjoyed the day [ or half ]. Fishing from 7:30 to 12 something. 
The upside. We had time for sushi lunch, check. I got home in time for exercise. check. And tired but survivable. Slept extremely well. check

On tea. I find it more re - hydrating or refreshing. Now, hype or real, both coffee and tea are caffeine sources, one is better than the other ?

Anomoly, breakfast was rice ( fresh ), check, and re BBQ d pork ribs. From Bestco, the ribs were FATTY so I figured re heating would render out fat 

Not too healthy but good, satisfying 

sitting and typing w / a coffee. thinking about fishing. For two weeks, I tried to make the new cheapie baitcaster work, no dice. 

I am resolved to get back to basics, using the old dependable three rod carry in the boat. I was attempting to lessen the clobber in the boat. B / c two of the guys bring five rods apiece, nope, three

🐟 jul 22, anomaly in full ....

  🐟... the boro, but reporting,this AM at the Q '. Rain showers and sun w / wind at 12 MPH out of the West mostly and swinging to north in the 11 AM time slot/
I got skunked w/ one probable. Turns out that I have the best average but inconsistent effort 

great day. now, the weather. cloudy to gray skies that showed sun in gaps but allowed rain to sprinkle down

lunch was sushi. fair to good. Rice was soft and wet, fish very good

🌂 21 days in and ....

  🌂 ...... Kaboom ! summer T storms are here. copious rain and yes, the rumble and clash of ' gods bowling '.

tea is steeping and coffee from yesterday ... the morning begins

⛱ twenty days in .....

  ⛱ ... the ' boro from the window seat ...... high Eternal Blue and holding. does not appear hazy ... however we are still part of the cycle of winds carrying the particles

ochazuke and typing --- coffee on the brew

the outbound trip to N Scarborough. The Plaza is called Chartwell. 3 chunks, one is an indoor mall cum food court and 2 outdoor access pods. A long time favourite in the food court is a kiosk, Yogi s Noodles. 
Thus, lunch was at Yogi s. Beef noodle soup. Egg noodles, tasty broth and chunks of meat [ maybe beef ]. The bowl comes topped w / bak choy. The noodle are firmer than at Magic, less bulk and broth comparable for sure. OK. Compare. Yogi s suit me better. I can barely finish the amount at Magic [ and probably should stop ]

Across the parking lot is Bestco. A huge Asian market w / bakery and takeout food offered. I picked up sushi, roast pork ribs and bananas. Pork irbs are fatty and disappointing BUT I realized that I could cook them again and render out the fat [ lots of fat ]

🎌 Julius XIX

  🎌 ...... the view from the window seat. Eternal Blue has scattered clouds w / big sun and mild temperature.
woke late after a 6:30 A interruption for tea. And fell asleep til 10
Now

typing and ochazuke but already had a coffee and went to the Tiger. [Oopsy, forgot ice cream bars - bad, bad omission ]

Yesterday was a school track re union, for former people that we coached [ F .. and I ]

convivial and expansive

🍆 julius XVIII

  🍆.... or the eighteenth coming at you. the view from the window seat, Cloudy and overcast but I think the smoke is back. as in I can taste the aair

on tap is a track re - union for Leacock athletes most are in their 50 - 60 s

🪩 XVII of VII - much clearer .....

  🪩 .... the view from the window seat. Eternal Blue has patches [ rain is possible ]. I think the hope is that some rain may wash out the smoke particles  ... however, the supply of particulate is large and circulating.
might take some time for the air to return to previous quality

not much planned. so far, ochazuke and typing is the order of the day. sleepy.

above the bass from Wed fishing. enhanced by AI or Google photo edit [ I think, the bass looks good the guy not so }

 

All right, we're reporting

 accomplishments today include trimming the dogwood out front. It was running rampant, bushy long, obstructing the path so I thought I should do something about it. It felt good,to you know, just get something done

. I managed to take apart the $10 baitcaster reel that A ,,,  had bought for me and I managed to bird nest it up and render it useless in about 3 minutes last Wednesday out on the water.

 Well it turns out I could not have fixed it there because the line had actually gotten behind the spool onto the spindle and there had to be 20 wraps so it got wound up pretty tight.

 I managed to take the offside cover apart and put the spindle and spool back together again and .......  it still works which is kind of amazing
