Just got back from fishing out on the Bay and am cooling off while the
engine is flushing.

Man, it was H-O-T out there, at least 85F and a bit higher in some
places, with the water temp still in the low to mid 70's. Beautiful day,
1' "rollers," light winds, and a half dozen bluefish came along for
entertainment. Lots of boats out today, and the usual early fall parade
of RV trawlers and other barge-type boats panting their way south for
the winter.

I suppose out in Seattle, the ice boating season has started. :}

Have you ever been out on Puget Sound? Today the temp was in the 60's,
cloudy. Great weather for fishing. For sure it wasn't H-O-T, with the temp
hitting the 90's like it did here.

One thing I never did, after the first time, was go fishing on the Bay on a
weekend. Just too damn many fools out there!

Now what was it you were saying a little while ago???

thought of it?"
Looks like you'd better start 'thinking'..............

It was crowded, but just about everyone except the snowbirds was a
fisherperson. Hit the buoys for some spot bait, then went over to the
Choptank.

Is there a lot of trolling going on now? I would think that would have
calmed down until the fall.

I'm actually looking forward to getting the new boat out there. I was going
to get rid of my trolling rods, but now I think I'll hang onto them.

The 4Runner arrived. I love the way it drives, and can't believe the
acceleration the damn thing has. Glad I bought it. It did come with the
Michellin tires you mentioned.


Yeah, I actually saw some guys using umbrellas. I didn't see anyone
catching a "keeper" rock, though. Lots and lots of bluefish all over the
place, plus lots of scared baitfish, diving birds, jumping fish.

For me, the most enjoyable fishing is usually now through Thanksgiving,
assuming it cools down.

I think the 4Runner is the *best* SUV on the road. I'm thinking of
trading in our 2004 for a current model. I really like it and to date,
it has been 100% reliable. I *don't* much like the tire pressure warning
gizmos, though.

Have you noticed the little mirrors in the corners in the rear, just
above the tailgate class? :}

Harry realizes I wasn't referring to him. Harry, if you thought I was
referring to you, then I should have excluded you. Sorry if you took
offense.

Remember, Don, I try my damnedest not to call names.

By the way, you seem to have missed this:

************************************************** ************************
How's the boat, the mom, the son, and the wife?

When my daughter dropped out of college and decided to make a nest in my
house, I started charging her $200 a month rent. For some reason she found
this hard to abide. So she moved into an apartment with several other
girls. That lasted about six months, and she then decided to return to
college. That entitled her to move back into the house. She then became a
nurse.

Just a thought, for what it's worth.


So now you've lowered yourself to the Dingy Dan level.
Now it's not just my mom...it's my wife & son too!
Funny thing...you don't expect ant better from Dan, but you tried to pass
yourself off as a 'law & order' man.
I guess that old saying...'it all comes out in the wash' does make sense
here.


Did I say something offensive, or are you just looking for a made up excuse
to be rancorous?

How would we know anything about your wife, your mom, or your son if you
hadn't told us? I passed along a tip that worked with my daughter. I don't
believe I said anything at all about your son or your wife.

Is Johnny acting up again? Best to ignore him.


You seem to have a very hard time doing so! Wouldn't you agree, Don?

Not us, we're still on LT patrol.

There were a ton of boats out fishing off of Kent Island today near
the R88 buoy. We were headed east, not south, still looking for foto
ops. From Annapolis we took a little excursion up the Wye River and
ended up in St Micheals as we close in on the quarry. The bay was
nearly flat except for the occasional freighter wake.

No, I've not even read the book. I finally took it around the block this
morning, just to see what it felt like.

The 4Runner will be redesigned for 2009, so hold on before getting a new
one. The Highlander was redone this year (2008) and the 4Runner is next.
I'll probably be wanting to trade mine in. We'll see!


Well, if they dump the truck frame for a unibody, I won't want one.
That's part of the strength of the 4Runner...the frame.
