The days of taking a week of vacation and fishing Wateree six days in a row like I used to do, are over for me. I just thank the Lord every night that me and Grady (we are both 67) are in good enough shape for Pete to drag us down to the lake and put us on some fish.
I hear ya Thumper. I would love to work at Siemens.
Been trying to get on there over 15 yrs.
I have a good friend there now.
I'm that far behind you and Grady in age... or at least the body ain't. And like you I think the Lord everyday for everything he has given me. And for the days I do get to go fishing too.
Glad you fellas get to go and can keep them fish in check
