Thread: Coupla' trips were made

this past week along with a coupla' conquests. Magnificent sunrises have initiated my days this week as I head in my Easterly direction of pursuit. Even had a Flock of Seagulls confirming my direction AND a Cloud configuration of my Black Lab RAVEN to confirm as well =
Each day I was met by the gate-keeper, RANDY, to help initiate my focus o' the day= Mr. Goggle-Eye!
Occasionally, our goals are side-tracked with unforeseen events that, depending on your "step-over skills", can alter/end your Day o' FUN!!. My "long straw" that needed attention was my MK Ulterra that wouldn't deploy(now in repair shop). L/l'g was sidetracked in favor of u/l mini-stickin', but with building winds and disinterested targets, my 70 HP SUZI was asked to Do the BUMP! While watching my GPS speed, I would shift in/out of gear to roughly accommodate 1.0 mph. Although uncomfortable, it began to FILL my box.. Both Crappie and LM(Ditch-Pickles) were adding towards my cleaning-chores later on.
My buddy AJ, joined me on another, Do the BUMP (aka Bumpy-Ride!) and we had an enjoyable day of Fish/Friendship. We BOTH would have had our socks BLOWN-OFF, if we were wearing 'em, when we observed Christmas lights wrapped around a CYPRESS tree that was easily 1/4 mile from the closest house!
Unless they have an annual Community Extension-cord "loaner" event, it is probably a 12 Volt setup ran by a well-charged battery in season.
One day this week, while enjoying a favorite restaurant, I encountered a complete stranger, wearing my fav colored T-Shirt with my name on it! I introduced myself and my fishing passion, and asked if I could take his pic...He DID!
If that wasn't enough, while unhitching the boat, back at the house, I meet FREDDIE the Freeloader who surfaced from behind my cab!
That very same day, about 3 miles from my house, I see my 1st, after 20 year Florida residency...a 3 foot GATOR roadkill! I turned my rig around in hopes of rendering some GATOR AID but more accurately to get a pic and another vehicle had stopped, threw WALLY in his truck bed and sped off! Oh well
And yes, even though MOM NATURE did her usual "HUFF and PUFF" and BLOW our hopes DOWN, I/We enjoyed the day/s outcome. Sometimes, as in Life, one's ability to do the "Step-overs" are the key to extra satisfaction...

Thanks for Readin'/Ridin'/Reelin'...til next time-
