I understand the "THIS" that you can't act on. Will it be sad for you to never see her again?

In a tiny way, yes, but overall, no. It was nice to see her, but the whole This Thing had kind of moved on - the old "out of sight out of mind" bit. I've been working out of town for the last several years, so it made the not seeing one another at gatherings workable. She quit using social media, too, so that helped. But It was still there in person, which was kinda nice, like a reminder that I/we didn't make this up. And it was nice to get some closure, too, in the realization that there is an endgame and it will be soon, within 12 months.

Surely you jest.


And I'll call you Shirley if I want to.


Happy Sunday. It's still pretty soggy out there. Not sure that much grass will get cut, but it's early yet. We got an Amazon delivery at 0414 on their new Overnight Delivery thing. Slept right through it. The cats didn't say anything.

It’s a one off show and this is the second year it’s run. Last year though we sponsored eight kids through our winter formal classes. They come along each week and I teach them and provide all the tools and materials free. Then we have them join us on trips and teach them to fish with the flies.

I do quite a lot of community stuff up here. I Chair two organisations, one community and one sporting and sit as Trustee of two charities. I just see that this time of my life is about putting back in what I have taken out!

I so respect you for this. In a time when so much is being drained from our communities and local government takes instead of gives.

It's people like you, that volunteer their time to help others who are local heroes.

Hi, Horatio! You and I are finally on at the same time!

No sooner than I posted that, I went down to eat and never logged back on. One of these days I’m going to get in the mix!

Hope everyone’s having a wonderful weekend! The Morning Z:

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

Busy weekend. Did our show yesterday and taught around 65 kids to tie their first trout fly. It was a great day with warm bright weather and temp around 70; hard work though. Today I have. 6 or 7 hour drive to visit my kids for their birthdays over the next few days so might not be on here much until I am back.

Take care everyone

Have been a fly fisherman my whole life…I hate to admit this…I’ve never tied a a fly! . It’s been on the to-do list for the last 45 yrs!

Thanks for giving back to the community. You never know what kid you’ll reach and how it will and can make a difference. Maybe you can teach this kid how to do it?

I hope you have something wonderful planned for her, RJ!

She wants ro go to the Indianapolis Zoo

This. Time - our time - is the most valuable commodity we have. To give of it is truly to give.

I might not agree with a lot you have to say @Wat_Tyler but we all have common values that link us together one way or another.

I put my phone down, say I'm avoiding lit for the day. Pick phone to do something else. Find myself back on lit, forgetting what I picked my phone up for?

And you're not required to agree with every word off my keyboard. That's okay. Gladstone and Disraeli didn't agree either, but they did love their country. Maybe not the best example, but. We're all children of Providence, and I suspect that it's our cosmic job to help one another through this journey on this plane. I think we have to be very aware of that. Mostly, it doesn't matter what we think or fell or believe, we just have to do it.

One more reason that it isn't on my phone, thanks be to Allah.

By the way...

Enbiji says hi.

She got baaaaned

I’m simultaneously afraid to ask and curious!

I’m simultaneously afraid to ask and curious!

My feelings also. I suppose that more will be disclosed.


A plan for this morning has gelled. Out the door in a few.

That sounds great!! I grew up in a small town near a really great fly fishing area called the Ken Lockwood Gorge. Still an amazing place to fly fish. I am not terribly good at it. Only tried a few times.

Safe travels!!

You are a good man, greylag.

It’s all about paying it forward!

Good Morning, Afternoon, Evening
Wherever you are, just be good
I can't keep track of everyone

 

[Wonderer67]

I might not agree with a lot you have to say @Wat_Tyler but we all have common values that link us together one way or another.

So this is the essence of community.

We don’t have to agree w one another, maybe not even like or love each other’s thoughts or perspectives.

But we can let all of that drop for a common cause of community, understanding and laughter.

(And I so wanna mention the coffee too, but I don’t wanna put off our non Coffee lovers)

So here’s to all of you!! I think this picture covers everything. Beer, water, coffee, and a giant German pretzel.

Can anyone tell me why I have five left-handed gloves and only one right handed glove?

I will take any and all advice, wisdom, ideas etc….

When working in a garden or the workshop, I'm right-handed, and tend to take off my right glove to better manipulate things with those fingers. So, it's rather common for me to lay that right glove down somewhere and forget it there.

As for advice: "Don't do that!"

Greetings and Salutations everyone

If that relieves your pain for you, it's OK to do. It's important not to take too much at one time or too much over a 24 hr period.

Agreed... watch not to overlap but also keep a running total for the day. I use an app on my phone that tracks all of that for me. Thanks.
