Covid-19 Getaway
So... as I write this I am 'at the cabin'! I was able to leave, with permission from the local government, Sunday, returning to Slate Run for some projects I want to complete and to do some fishing. I headed down to the local metropolis to pick up some materials. Masked up, and with my … Continue reading Covid-19 Getaway
5-11-2020 A Couple of Old Spinsters
I've finally gotten to tying some flies again! And I can tell that I've taken a long break from it. I got an idea a few weeks ago and have pursued that project, which required me to tie a few to send off. Hopefully these might come in handy to the 'patient'.

4-24-2020 The COVID-19 Caddis
I haven't tied since last November! Tisk, tisk! COVID-19 Caddis Pupa - the first caddis tie in a long time for me! The first two were not respectable enough to present here! Talk about 'rough around the edges'! This was the third attempt I believe. And then... I have switched over to a newer homemade … Continue reading 4-24-2020 The COVID-19 Caddis

4-12-2020: Happy Easter – Unfortunately This is Not a Fishing Report!
First of all, Happy Easter! Well, the past few weeks have been interesting to say the least. The 'Stay at Home' orders across the states vary a bit I think. We, in the state where I reside, were initially allowed to travel to second homes or properties owned. Not so anymore. Therefore I am not … Continue reading 4-12-2020: Happy Easter – Unfortunately This is Not a Fishing Report!
4-8-2020 Social Distancing and Another Arrival
While we're all social distancing I decided to go get a few pictures of our flooded driveway today. So after I social distanced worked out (with only a few barbells/dumbells I had from years ago and a step the wife had left over from her step aerobic days), I took a walk to see how … Continue reading 4-8-2020 Social Distancing and Another Arrival
3-23-2020: 24 Hours, Rock Piles, Oak Trees and a Fun Guy
We've all heard 'What a difference 24 hours makes", as the weather has played this stunt on us before. Yesterday and today was no exception. I took a walk up our little hill we own yesterday.

3-1-2020: Late Winter
I think many of us are starting to feel the itch. While we haven't had very much snow this winter, we're still getting to that point that we want it to move along and allow spring to commence! Life isn't easy, certainly not in nature. A Tough TreeReturning to dust Noticed the tree and the … Continue reading 3-1-2020: Late Winter
