So today my Mom and I went to Yellowstone to see Old Faithfull. First time I ever been to the geysers. I saw all the buffalo chips around (they were Everywhere!) and was very disappointed to learn that these are NOT grizzly bear scat. Good thing they told me before I started cutting 'em open looking for jewlery and dental gold...

I go to the lodge to get a coffee before the spring blows and when I come back my mother is sitting there on a bench near to this pretty girl, so of course I sat down between them

We got to chatting a bit and it seems she is from California. Said she had been traveling all over the west and had been to almost half the N.P.s In the west. Traveling alone? "That takes guts for a young woman", I says.

"Well luckily I have not met any Weirdos yet", she says. Hmm, I'm thinking she just has not gotten to know me yet. My Mom chirps in asking how long the geyser might blow once it gets going. The Cali' girl says, " I hope it is more than just thirty seconds"

"Thats what all the girls say!" I said.

I got a good laugh but mom didn't think it was very funny.

After the geyser show I told her it was blowing for about five minutes. She said she was satisfied.

I was too embarrassed to ask for her number in front of my mother, and the Cali' Girl was traveling tommorow anyhow. Oh-well. Struck out again....

Duckshot,

You got to work on your pickup lines when you're the new kid in town....

Good evening everbody, Duck your making time? How many miles so far? $30 to drive threw? When I travel threw there I like to camp at Ruby lake. My limited panning exp. came from panning garnets there. Just N to Sheridan Mt has a old hotel I’ve camped at a few times also bar in the basement. There is tourist stuff there too.

Mom's got grey hair so she got a senior pass for all the National Parks years ago- $10. I decided to retire after she drove out to Seattle and back to WI by herself. So, I'm her driver and porter. She doesn't like the way I drive, sometimes. Whenever she complains to somebody about my driving I say- "Yeah, see how white her hair is? She was a brunette this morning!"

Yellowstone is the first one we went to this year, but in the last couple years we have been to T. Roosevelt, badlands, arches, glacier, canyon, and glacier. Had to go to glacier twice. No treasure hunting in glacier, but the shore fishing is fantastic.

One day at glacier I was out fishing by Macdonald lodge right where the creek dumps into he lake. In a dozen casts I caught four little landlocked sockeye and a whitefish of some kind while using a brass weighted tipper bobber with a tin head jig and 1-1/2" Berkley Gulp minnow. After the fourth little sockeye (Kokanee) a charter boat comes by trolling lines just out of casting range. The charter Capt. yells to me "Where are the fish at!?"

I just shook my head.

Did not catch anything after that boat came by. But I still had me a swinging time. : )

Morning pirates and piratesses. Another day for garage sales. We only went for an 1-1/2 yesterday and I had filled my SUV up! My dad laughed and said I better be careful or I won’t be able to stand in my she shed. Mr WD told my dad last night that today we are only allowed to go out for 3 minutes! LOL

Seems dad isn’t feeling up to snuff. He still wants to go out. He wouldn’t call it quits yesterday. I did. Been planning this weekend for a month. I am not going to take him out so long that he can’t make it the next day.

Bart, great finds and good luck with your treasure hunting.

Duckshot, good luck to you, also. Have fun with your mom!

Fat, I meant to tell you that 44.8# is what won it. The two guys won every thing, the tournament, side pot and big fish. Over $15k. We fished Avon Point. They were out at the weather buoy. Do you remember those spots?

Welp G2G!

Have a great day!

Morning WD, bill and bart

On a lark we planted some peanuts to see how they turn out. We'll have to cover the planter with mesh to protect from all the squirrels.

Mornin all.

I think this is one of the best springtime's in Florida that I can remember.

Shhhh ... dont wanna jinx it.

Heat is on its way... it has been extremely dry though... no rain... everything dry.

 

[bill from lachine]

ARC,

Same situation here everything in the parks are parched. We've been watering the garden and lawn like crazy to compensate.

Xaos,

Well you could always move north.

Perhaps it's not always the quickest system for elective surgery, etc..., however, you don't risk bankruptcy if you don't have insurance coverage.

Thanks Bill! My body grew up English, not Metric....dont want to risk the conversion factor!

OHHHH aaaaannnnnd...
ITS FRIIIIIIDAAAAAYYYYY!
