Busy Days

Well, it's been a busy week.  My pal, Adam, is in town 'til the 12th and I've been trying to keep him amused.  We went fishing out a Cowee Creek and got soaked (we drove through a hail storm on the way out the road).  There was rain, hail, and sun all within about an hour.  No fish - but we did see the ass end of a bear run across the road.  I tested my bear spray before we hit the trail...

Fishing at Cowee Creek

On Monday Eric took us fishing.  We were at the dock at 4 AM and on the grounds at Salisbury Point before 5 AM.  Unfortunately in this instance the early birds failed to catch the worm - or salmon or anything else.  But it was a beautiful day and we saw lots of eagles, whales and sea lions.  Lots of herring present but the King Salmon were few and far between.  We saw one boat with two keepers; but I suspect most were skunked like us.  Such it is...

In other news, I saw Amanda last evening and she is doing fine.  Working at the Crab Shack this summer - home of some very tasty crab bisque and other crabby things.  She looks great!

Enrique has finished his Perseverance Theater gig but is hanging-out for another month before his next job back East.  He is reading for a part in "Of Mice and Men" this week which will be the first production at Perseverance next fall.  Hope he gets it!

Finally, a shot from my deck a couple of weeks ago.  What a beautiful evening...

Later gang!
