Well we went to a somewhat local pick your own farm. Picked blackberries and Gala apples. Had fun with the family (and did a little fishing - Livie's goldfish before heading home 😉). Blackberry field We were too late that day to get into the red raspberries 😔 Only apples open were Galas but we made the best of it. We often see who can pick the largest and smallest. Sue picked this little guy. Will keep a look out for the other varieties as they ripen over the next month or two.

I may know some spots😉

Couple of chunks! Congrats!

No. Way before I was taking photos. If you are familiar with the Current, it was the first steep bluff hole below Baptist access.

Probably right 🙄, since I have lost some TW baits in bank brush where it was too deep to get across to get my bait. I actually have climbed a bluff or two on the upper Current to get back my hand painted Rapalas. Though I lost this bait due to not checking my line and the bait and my line soon parted 😒. I liked that bait. Vanish line use to fray quickly and sent many baits out on their own. Unlike the cast that lost the bait in discussion (downstream cast and rapids), most were on upstream casts, so I just needed to be patient and they typically would come right past and into my net. Some rocketed into the woods never to be seen by me again even with searching.

Found ourselves upstate and close to a spot where I had found goldfish from a tip. Today only saw a few goldfish. The ones around me all had those guardian bluegill. So all I got were chunky bluegill on the corn and no goldies😒. Livie connected on a healthy goldfish. Livie #91 L Goldfish

A fisherman and his wife had twins. As babies one would always face toward the sea and the other always would face away. Even when the were moved around they reorient themselves. So the couple nicknamed the one Towards and the other Away. When the boys were 10 yrs old, the fisherman said to his wife that they were old enough to fish with him. They agreed and he and the boys went out for a one week trip. After a week they did not come back. After another day no sign. Three days later the wife sees the man and his son dragging a gigantic fish. She has never seen such a big fish. She asks what happened. The fisherman said that they fished for a full week and got no fish. As they were getting ready to head back to Port this fish jumped up and swallowed Towards. I was able to hook the fish and battled it for three days. Once landed I was able to save our son. Again his wife mentioned that it such a big fish. The fisherman said if you think this fish was big you should have seen the one that got Away!🤣

Even for me this was a stretch😅

Found this story online. That a big bowfin caught in NY state. https://www.newyorkupstate.com/outdoors/2021/08/western-ny-man-sets-new-state-fishing-record-for-a-bowfin-he-caught-using-cut-bait.html

Biscuits and gravy looks great but the pans steal the show.

"Waiter my steak smells very strongly of liquor." The waiter takes three steps back and asks "How's that now?"

Great job! Not sure if she has a good guide or is the guide.

Together they made a loveseat with a globe in it. That way were sitting on top of the world... 😂

Chicken tortilla soup that my daughters made tonight.

Do folks still play hacky sack. Seems to me that hacky sack may have gone out with the need to use a pencil to fix your cassette tapes.

Good luck. I do agree about the variety possibilities being a reason to try to grow them. Ours just never got more that a few small cloves per head. We didn't have a great spot due to high shading in the afternoons and I wasn't really considering getting rid of the mature trees in our yard just for the garden. Also did have a decent selection of varieties at the farmer's market.

Same with us and ditto with trying garlic. Both onions and garlic are cheap produce. So not worth the trouble of growing them ourselves. Potatoes are fun to dig and find them but also we never got great yield.

Mitch do you prefer the original Kris K version or the Janice J cover version. I'm a JJ fan for that that song😉.

Great seeing you guys out catching some nice trout. Congrats!

How are you getting the boards apart? I've used claw hammers and end up splitting the wood than pulling the nails.

That's fatphobic Pete. You should say "That sure is a healthy one!" 😆

Two guys are in a bar having a round of drinks. Then another. Followed by another. As they are well on their way to becoming inebriated they talk about all kinds of topics. The one guy gets a little choked up and says to this buddy, "My wife and I waited until our wedding night to to sleep together for the first time. It was a get experience that we will always cherish." He then asks his buddy, "Did you wait?" His buddy replied, "I don't know. What was your wife's maiden name again?" 🤣

Nice job Daryk! I would call them snap beans. I have a couple that I have used to catch park trout. Fun to throw for sure.

Thought these were quite funny. Glad to see that I am not the only one that gets tired of demonstrating that I am not a robot 🙄 Both of these require a little bit of thought 😅.

Sounds like fun! Congrats on catching some fine fish!
