Er...Glatt, did you find any dodo fossils under all that excavation?:D

Yesterday I restarted a yearly tradition....finally.....offshore fishing.

all in all it was a great day. Ronnie (the big guy in teh middle on the group pic) and I decided we needed to go offshore just after Bobby's funeral. So basically, it was all the managers from the go-kart track except for one. it was their first time going offshore and everyone had a blast. Shoot, it was Jac's first time to go fishing ever! he didn't do too bad either. Ronnie was the big fish winner with about a 30 pounder.

I had caught 3 keepers but gave one away to a couple that didn't have that much luck and didn't want them to go home empty handed.

Nice! Looks like fun, and that's an impressive catch to my eye.

Actually, now that I think about it a little, I went drift fishing off Florida with my buddies years ago, and it was a miseable time. Something about just bobbing there on the waves. I had never been seasick before, but the sun beating down and the bobbing around just pushed me a little too far. Everyone laughed and said my chumming was good for attracting fish. But it didn't help me so much. I went home empty handed. And empty stomached. :facepalm: good times. :blush:

oh yeah, i've done that plenty of times before! seas were cooperative yesterday. 3-5 ft. with an occasional 10 footer but the frequency of the waves were about 15 seconds so it was a comfortable trip. only about 2 of the 74 got ill.

apparently the person we asked to take the pic didn't know how to focus..... :neutral: guess a half-ass pic is better than no pic :rolleyes:

Very nice. Tell your buddy HE is in the lead for this year's Cellar Fishing Contest!
lol

Hey, snapper season open off Texas?? just asking

Yeah Buster but it's only 30 days long. originally it was to be 14 days. you have until the end of June.

I had to buy some house cleaners for the tank so i bought a Halloween Hermit crab, Blue Knuckle Hermit Crab and this guy errrr gal, a Dragon Gobi. Here she is making herself a home......

Okay, this may not be very impressive to you handy types, but I'm VERY proud of it so far, as this is my first time ever working with power tools.

It is the very beginnings of an interactive board for my baby daughter. It is an MDF board decoupaged with scrapbook paper. As I took my break, there are now six door holes and a light switch hole cut in to it. When it's done, the holes will have little doors on hinges, and there will all sorts of things to play with -- barrel bolts, latches, knobs, a touch light, and a door knocker to name a few. Woohoo!

Cool!

Kitsune snapped this shot of me working. :)

Now that's real handiwork to build your own Fallout Shelter.
Just don't let the neighbors know about it.

P.S. both knees on the ground for stability to avoid industrial accidents.

End of day 1.
