...at Solomon's Island, MD, where the US Navy has a recreation center
open to
military and guests. We took some friends along for the weekend and
had a super
time. My wife towed the boat down with her Highlander, and did quite
well. The
Highlander does a decent job of towing the boat, but we kept the
speed down to
50 or less the whole way.

Saturday AM, Larry and I went fishing in the Patuxent using bloodworms
(expensive) and squid (cheap). Larry got the first hit on squid,
while I tried
the bloodworms. After his third or fourth hit, I switched to the
cheap squid
also. We ended up with 20-25 croaker of edible size in about two
hours, so we
were happy campers. Here's Larry dragging them in two at a time

Of course we caught our share of the ugliest fish known, to me
anyway. We caught
about five of these buggers:

That evening we took a tour of the harbor, which was a great way to
end the day.

Got home Sunday afternoon, put everything away, and got ready to out
again
Monday - play day on the Potomac. My younger daughter and her kids
were itching
to see and use the new tube, so we went to our favorite little beach.
Saying we
had it all to ourselves would not be a lie!

The kids voted on Belmont Bay versus Lake Anna, and Belmont Bay won.
I taught
younger daughter a little about boat operation, and she obviously got
a big
charge out of it!

Don't know why the kids love this place so much. Must be because they
can go
exploring in Mason Neck Park.

Today I got a little break. Won't have the boat back in the water for
at least a
few days. Gives me time to get the wheel bearings repacked.

Y'all take care.

Oh, I forgot to mention the splendidly lovely ketch we saw floating
in the
Patuxent. Just simply oh so gorgeous, if I don't say so myself.

Why would anyone want to see photos of you and your cloned grand****z?
No one cares who or what you think.

Jealous? Too bad your children have disowned you. They must have
caught a glimpse of your posts/lies to a public newsgroup.
