the daughter picked up wifey for a shopping day in Flagstaff this morning ... didn't feel like going ... wife told me to make sure I made myself breakfast so I checked the fridge ... bacon? ... too messy to cook ... pancakes? ... meh, too much work ... then I spotted some nice beer lined up neatly on the bottom rack ... sue me ...

 

Eagles Last Resort.

Everyone is entitled to enjoy there own thing and thank goodness for that so we get all sorts of different music.
Not heard of Runrig before, do you have a favourite track?

 

One of my all time favorite songs.

 

Scottish....
Runrig - Rhythm Of My Heart (Official Music Video) - YouTube

 

~ Maybe even by the end of the month .. !

 

Thanks. I'll have a listen later (Wife's watching the rugby Sshhh)

 

Me too, this is the most entertaining England game so far this year.
England just retained the lead with two and a half minutes to go.

 

I did my workout and had a bath.But my wife said it was a good match, and against the odds we beat France

@Montegriffo well I decided to go fishing after all by the time I went and got bait and everything I got there about 4:30 p.m. and I caught one shark and by the time I was done processing it , on the other line I had a yellow tail jack so it came out good for an hour and a half worth of fishing anyway. also hooked another real big gar fish who came off by the time I got him up to the dock which was just as well with me I didn't want to have to try to get my leader out of his mouth anyway

 

Should keep you going for a while.

 

Every year My wife and I and a big group of friends all go and see an Eagles tribute band, its a grand night out.
My favourite band is probably The Style council.

 

We might be going back to riding bicycles, horse and buggy or walking. Things are going to get expensive.

 

I was a full time caregiver of my other half for 3 years since her stroke (and numerous other issues) She is now in full time nursing care as it got beyond my abilities. I was unable to leave the house more than an hour at a time for those three years, so now if Im not working or sleeping, chances are I'm drinking beer and fishing. It's either that or sit around the house. Small town life.

 

Not me or my pic but the same species and size I caught yesterday. I always called them yellow tail jack but evidently it's a jack crevalle. Gotta remember to take my phone on the dock to snap more pics but fishing alone and landing large fish, a pic is the last thing I remember.

 

This species is considered a "trash fish" by many. However, many swear by them. As soon as I caught it I cut the throat and gills to bleed it out and on ice it went, right away. This is considered key.

My fish and beer share the same cooler, lol. I will try it for dinner today and report back.


Chef's Corner: Who says jack crevalle is inedible?
www.pnj.com › entertainment › dining › 2015/06/30

Jun 30, 2015 — Chef Chris Sherrill took a load of thought-inedible jack crevalle from the recent Flora-Bama ... We debuted our nonprofit group, called NUISANCE Group, at this incredible event. ... A little pink is perfect, as the jack can dry out.

 

Sorry to hear about your partner. Must have been a terrible time when you realised you could no longer cope on your own.
I hope you have some better friends than your weed whacker mate to support you.

 

~ Think how healthy we will be ! We may even have to grow our own vegetables and cook our meals ...

 

Yeah like that, nice video too.

 

Wasn't that word " Shinebox " used in - Goodfellas - { 1990 }
By Actor Frank Vincent as Billy Batts.
Where Tommy DeVito { played lovingly by Joe Pesci } said :
" No More Shines,Billy " Since Billy Batts { less influential Racketeer }
tried to upstage Tommy in a Bar for laughs.
Not too smart.As we learned later that night as Tommy sat down and
Lovingly discussed Deer hunting with his Dear Mom as she fixed the
boys a late night snack.{ Like a big plate of Spaghetti & Meatballs is a
Snack }.
You did mention the word ... " rack " ! And Food.
What about Farming.Or Gardening.

 

Nice size fish and looks like a real haul to catch.
How about Taste.Are they a tasty fish.They kinda look mean.
Not as mean as a Northern Pike ... but close enough.
