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.
 
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.
 
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 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. ❤️


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.

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!

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!"
