People have been fishing and eating fish for as long as there have been people.
Fishing is the ultimate test of patience and planning.
Fishing is also, to me, a metaphor for life. One plans. One researches. One tries to pick the right spot, the right bait, the right time of day….perfecting the motion of the bait in the water.
But in the end, one can never be certain any of that mattered more than the sheer dumb luck a hungry fish happened by and made a choice that gave a hungry fisherman a meal…
Thanks for all the opinions I appreciate it and im sure he will too! What’s everyone up to this morning? I’m just kicking it at home today. Later I’m gonna help my grandma cut wood for winter as she likes to keep her fireplace and wood furnace going as opposed to paying an electric bill
Plant stuff for me, that’s a great grandson! Much respect, I miss my grandparents so much! Cherish every moment bro. And I DEFINITELY feel keeping the wood stove pumping, I’ve got a natural gas one now and it’s just not the same.
There’s nothing like going to your grandmas and their being a fireplace lit either. I feel like a man loading that wood furnace is that funny to say? My mom said back in the day her and her 2 sisters used to have to take shifts waking up to throw more logs on it but I actually enjoy it. I feel like I was born in the wrong age everything use to be much simpler back in the day
He’s a good friend, a very looong time friend I used to fish with often, he’s not very mobile nowadays so I help him out when I can, he can barely drive anymore so I offered when his girlfriend is working or not around, gives me an excuse to see him too as since he stopped fishing our paths don’t cross nearly as much, but I swear EVERYTIME I leave his company my cheeks hurt! He makes me howl, like we were leaving and I held the door for the lady behind us, the people that walked past literally ignored him and let the door close on his Walker (no joke) he pushes the door open with his elbow “ya don’t worry about the invalid! You guys are young, healthy and mobile I’m just struggling to get from A to B you GOD DAMN millennials are going to be the death of us all! Don’t try and cross the street while I’m driving or you’ll be invalids too soon after” idk I was howling, so we’re the people I held the door for! Then we had to stop on the way as he had to go to the bathroom, so he asks me to stop at a doctors office/clinic, which I obliged, as we walk in he explains he’s old, and when he’s gotta go he’s gotta go, the lady has the nerve to say sir “they are for patients/customers and we really aren’t open yet” he says “well I just opened the door and walked in , doesn’t get much more open and unless you wanna spend your morning cleaning up SHIT off of the floor I suggest you let me use it “and he just walks past her. and his stories of growing up in California are always epic!
The subtle approach. I’ve always spouted off. I’ve done the “I need a puke bag. NOW!” Just a minute. SPLAT! Sorry… I tried. I’m the guy in the ER who will lite ineptitude up! “Come back when you’re worse” “can’t breathe now asshole,wose is dead”, upon which I was put in the soundproof room. Couldn’t hear them, even better.
