A boating adventure...

Yardwork. If I let it go for more than a few days, it looks like the
forest primeval around here. Apparently we have a new
crop...cicadas...about a billion of them in the woods, drinking,
screwing, eating, and making lots of cicada noises. There's gotta be a
way to export them for Big Dollars.

Those things make great fish bait!

I was wondering about that. I sorta figured bass would go crazy for
them, but I didn't know. Bass, other species? One wondered into the
house when I opened the screen door and our five pound "Smidge" cat
thought it was a wonderful plaything until she bit it into two pieces.
She didn't eat it, though.

Well, you can put them on a hook and they'll wiggle for seemingly
hr's. . They're a great live bait for about any pond/river fish at
least around here...

French leave went well, thank you very much. We cruised down to Virginia

Beach with another couple as guests, and stayed in that area for a few

days, fished offshore, and by the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, and hit

some of our favorite beaches. Got dragged to a few "antique" shops. I

think I am older than some of the stuff being sold in them. I gave

serious thought to running down to Oregon Inlet just for the hell of it.

But I didn't. We left Saturday about midday, and the Bay was windy and

choppy, but not problematical. We had an evening thunderstorm earlier

this week, easy enough to "ride out" at the marina. :)

Rudee's Restaurant, at the back of Rudee's Inlet, was just pretty good

this time, and I don't know whether we hit it during a brief downturn or

whether the quality is sliding. I used to like Rudee's a lot.

Fortunately, there are about a zillion restaurants in the Virginia Beach

area, and more than a handful are excellent.

Nothing broke. :)

Fewer posts stacked up here in "wrecked.boats" than I usually see after

a trip. I shall do the smart thing, mark the folder "read" and not read

any of them. I am sure that if I missed anything of consequence, someone

will point it out, eh? :)

Coming soon: a trip up to the New Haven area, Milford, Branford, and

Guilford, to catch up with the buddies, their wives, and their

much-too-young nieces. :)

Hey Krausie, does the IRS field office in Baltimore know about your "excellent adventure." I'll bet they would take a keen interest if anyone just happened to let them know:

IRS Office - Baltimore
31 Hopkins Plaza, Baltimore MD 21201
Phone Number:(410) 962-7969

All the best,
George

I set here and read about all the adventures everyone has and I just dream about what it would be like.
