- For the first time in 25 years, I have taken one of my sprogs fishing and been able to get my own hook wet. I will call that a victory.
- There is nothing like the feeling you get when your wife notices a juvenile raccoon pushing its head through a previously overlooked hole in the screen door.
- It had a sibling.
- Hijinks ensued.
- When I spoke to the maintenance fellow at the lake resort about it, he chuckled and said we were lucky it wasn’t a bear.
- On a related note, I told Irish Woman that she could only adopt a raccoon if she promised to sit on the porch and drink beer with it on hot Kentucky afternoons.
- If you’re going to fish at the bottom of a big dam, you better keep an ear open for the warning sirens.
- If you are in a boat and do not heed the warning sirens, you better be pretty good at handling your boat in rough water.
- Irish Woman and I thought Rock House was really neat, until we realized that we were about 10 miles downstream from the dam. That would be the dam we saw them open the gates on an hour earlier, causing the river level to rise several feet in about two minutes.
- The mud 20 yards up from the river, dotted with dead minnows, during a time when we hadn’t gotten rain in weeks, convinced us that we shouldn’t linger.
- Note to self – When visiting a distillery, visit the gift shop before going to the bar. It gets a tad expensive when you do it the other way ’round.
- During out meander south, we visited one of my favorite gun stores.
- I took a long look at a Mossberg in 20 gauge for Boo. One may be following us home soon.
- Ruger has apparently caught lightning in a bottle with the Wrangler, its new single-action .22 revolver. I am currently number 30 on the waiting list and should have the revolver I bought last week sometime around Christmas.
- Remember what I said about getting a suppressor? Yeah, I don’t think I’ll ever have that much disposable income.
- Yet another example of government regulation making something that should be inexpensive and convenient costly and a pain in the butt.
- Our 15th anniversary is coming up in a month or three. That’s the ‘crystal’ anniversary. I already know what I’m getting Irish Woman. She has no idea what to get me, but I told her that the finely ground glass in a good rifle scope might count.
