A boating adventure...
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. :) |

It is really the best relaxation. That is why we get out 3 or 4 evenings a week. It keeps my wife from choking people at work *;-) This week was pretty rainy here and we missed 3 trips. I am declaring an emergency and dropping in today, rain or not. Surely you have a bimini don't you Greg? When I had my pontoon I was thinking on getting a large one like this http://www.blackburnsresort.com/2007/party-P6282561.jpg But somebody felt they needed the boat more than I did. so wwe came to terms.. |

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... |

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 |
