Finally caught a bass from my kayak. He’s not very big, but he was spunk, especially on a 3-wt fly rod. (you can see the fly in his lip)
Gonna try to catch some redfish, etc. on a fly rod in a couple weeks. Gotta get my 9-wt out for that.

Strange man showed up at my door tonight.
Especially those women who are bigger around than they are tall, driving former cop Crown Vics (with the spotlight still attached) who can barely see over the steering wheel.
Our city council critter is trying to get a roundabout at the intersection of irvington and Patton. I foresee trouble. Mexicans pay little attention to stoplights and even less attention to stop signs. A yield sign is like a green light.
Gnats took advantage of their time off to study all the pitchers and were prepared to do some hitting tonight. Astros may have thought they already had it in the bag and were not totally prepared. Gnats did not get here on a lark – they are a darn good team. Let’s see how it turns out, but not looking good so far.
Mine too. I switched to OTA.
110, wear a vest. Had a recent incident where a family member may not have made it. Kayaks on the bay are not very visible from power boats and they text and drive as well. Where 146 crosses the Dickinson Bayou/Bay. The ramp is under the bridge, Hillman’s is just down the street for live bait, not an issue for a fly rod, and look for the cooling canal that once fed water to the HL&P plant which is a paddle a bit sorth of the 146 launch ramp. We see a lot of redfish parts floating around when a… Read more »
Freaking Hulu keeps freezing up, annoying.
Thanks, TexMo.
The fact that she didn’t want a visit tonight is telling. Dammit.
Nice kayak. Can’t quite make out the brand, rather upscale with a squared off nose. Not a Hobie. The Roman inspired deck foot gear is rather novel. No slip soles?

Somewhere in the Galveston Bay Area?
Actually I don’t know more than that right now. I bid on a guided day of fishing in the local fly fishing club auction earlier this year and won. Plan is for Nov 2, so I’ll let you know (especially if we catch something really awesome).

Where?
In the 2000s we had a 28 game Astros package that allowed us to buy playoff seats as well. In 2005 I was lucky enough to attend the first World Series game ever held in Texas. We bought four field box seats out the first base line 25 rows up for $190 each. We sold the tickets for the second (and last) game here for $1500 each.
Get 4 1-qt boxes of Kitchen Basics unsalted beef stock. Reduce down to less than 1-qt and freeze into ice cube tray and put into a big baggie. Way better than bouillon cubes.
It won’t be.
Tedtam, prayers for your extended family.
Nosebleed tickets for tomorrow night’s game behind home plate are $480. Lower level along the baselines run about $1,700!
Any of y’all want to buy a kid?
Better be careful feeding them foxes. They’ll go after your chickens.
Good game shaping up here.
OK, I need to set this up. I mentioned the Grey Fox that I saw a couple of times cross the road down by the tractor shed. So today, I noticed that something was digging under the swing hanging from the big Cedar and thought, what did that? There was a mole track running around and something was digging to get to it. So, coyote? Nope, holes too small, they would have dug up the whole damn yard, coon/possum? Nope they don’t go after live critters. The most likely thing would be a small Dawg, but she’s not been out… Read more »
I swear, when critters run across the roof of the Dome, it can sound like a small pony with slippers on. That one must’ve been a possum or raccoon. Big ‘un.
Well, Cousin Pat has been admitted to St. Lukes Hospital. Aunt Mary had told Cousin Robbie to go ahead and pack some bags, because “she’s just going in for a consult but you never know…” Shore nuff, Pat’ll be there for at least 2 or 3 days, getting an oncology evaluation, abdominal imaging, and all kinds of poking and prodding. Pat was too tired for a visit tonight, which I understand. Aunt Mary is sleeping in Pat’s room and Robbie has gone back home. I’ve notified my family and other cousins. Now, it’s just a waiting game and hoping and… Read more »
I may have mentioned I have an old early 70s stereo console that I’m going to rebuild to include modern technology while keeping a turntable and even an old 8 track deck. I’m playing on the modern technology part now. I picked up this Minix Mini PC running Ubuntu Linux. As with most things Linux these days you turn it on, connect to wifi, and it just works. Fanless, solid state hard drive, micro SD slot.
Here’s hoping it isn’t 0-0 in the fifteenth inning.
I’m not a fan of IPAs but Shiner has a Brut IPA in their “Brewer’s Pride” series that is mighty tasty.
I only use capacitors with Roundup inside.
That former Tampa Bay Buccaneer will from now be introduced as John word I can’t say anymore.
And he’s white with that last name.
Holy Jamolee.
Maybe he should change hia name to this 🐸 face.
Them’s Hominy Grits, well, no, them’s Purple Top Turnips and they will be good come Thanksgiving. 😉
Don’t know about turnips but you can’t say the word “lynch” anymore.
oops this just in.
Can’t say oops anymore.
oops
poops
scoops
loops
dupes
stoops
scoots
boots
hoots
toots
Wouldn’t that now make it the wheat/rye patch? 😉
oops this just in.
can’ say dugout anymore.
Words white folks cannot say in the Orwellian States of America.
Lynch
Winch
Wench
Stench

Flinch
Bench
The starting pitcher was relegated to that thing you sit on in the dugout.
Can you say Cotton patch these days?
Is cotton allowed in the ears?
Can shirts be made of cotton anymore?
Well damn, the girls are hungry, they’re always hungry! Later,….
Eighty Five?! Well it is Tuesday ,but we can do better than this. Oh and I got my recorder set for the game…..Justin Case. 😉
OK, it’s about time to start getting my game face on. I think the Nats may prove to be a more formidable opponent than many expect. And I won’t be disappointed if the Nats take it this year. But I’d rather the Stros take it. Anyway, get ready to enjoy something other than politics for a while. Enjoy.
One day soon turnips will be declared racist by the vegetable thought police.
Heh, I was wondering if my self admittance would warrant the binky or not.
Oh and my turnip patch is doing great, a dang month after I planted it most of the seeds are now sprouting. I had watered them through the drought and had a couple of small patches of turnips and mustard but not enough to make a mess, but after the rain, a good ¾ of the patch has filled in. I had told my wife that this might happen and it turned out better than I thought.
Yup, Life is Good! 😉
I went down to feed the hens and then headed down to the Cotton patch where I planted Wheat/Rye for the deer. I sowed 25 Lbs of seed on about ¼ acre and there was enough seed for ½ acre. I used a garden rake to cover them up, as best I could, and invariably left quite a few seeds on top of the ground. Well tonight, I flushed 8 turkeys pecking around in the seeds, they love wheat and such. I also saw a bunch if deer tracks, so that made my day.
Meanwhile Mexican drug cartels are taking over in Mexico but our borders aren’t important to Deep State Turtle Delecto.
We’ve only been in Afghanistan 462 years so I guess pulling out now would be considered premature eturtlation.
Deep State Turtle Delecto wants to stay in Syria.

#72 redeaux……………since there were no ‘Chapter witnesses’ you dodged being awarded the Cypress Binky! 🙂
p.s. I am the current keeper-of-the-binky 🙂
TexMo trust me…………….Gracie has probably been ‘on the deck’ a dozen times or more in Her almost 19 years!
(thankfully so far always at 2mph or less!)
The ‘pride’ portion of those ooooopsies never changes that is for sure!
#72 – #73 – The EPITOME of an EXCELLENT wreck!!!!
My #72
The only thing hurt was my pride. 🙂
Katfish, I am embarrassed to say that I did something today that I have never done before. I dropped my bike on the way to work this morning right as I was pulling out of my neighborhood onto the main street. I’ve been riding the Mean Streak lately which is WAY smaller than the Rocket III. I gave the Rocket a little too much throttle while attempting to pull out in front of some cars that were headed my way. I leaned the bike. I leaned it a little more. And then a little more. And then I was on… Read more »
One thing that I do know, is that, if you use Round Up, all of your children will be born naked. 😉
