Every fishing trip I've ever had I haven't caught a damn thing. So yeah, I remember them.

Pastramis are rubbed and waiting for the smoker to warm up.

Time for a cigar in the garage

Good Saturday Afternoon to All! It's a clear and gorgeous 73° on the way to 79° today.

Thought for today...

The fact that some people can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bugs me in a way I cannot put into words.

I remember the trips we caught little to nothing. Had fun... but was bummed out we didn't find 'em.

But we always talk about the trips we slayed the fish, not about the ones we got skunked. That day Art and I limited out in Yellowfin Tuna... blood all over the boat, kill bag full and more fish sticking out of the bait tank cause we ran out of places to put them.

The day my buddy Rob and his son went to the Coronado Islands with me and 3 of us caught 13 yellowtail and 6 bonito in just a few hours... while keeping an eye out for the Mexican Navy because neither of them had passports or Mexican fishing permits.

The day Delta came with me and Art on my boat... Art was fighting a fish and there was a boil off to my right. I quickly casted a jig at it, landed right on top of it and then two of us were hooked up. Al was like... "Holy shit, that was an awesome cast!" Al was fighting a yellowtail and Art and I wouldn't help him. He was so tired he had his foot up on the gunnel and his leg was shaking. Landed it by himself!

Those are the times I remember... and we talk about often.

Brought Dave some Cherry log rounds from one of the trees he cut down for me. He heats his home with wood so he was glad to get them.

Also gave him and his wife some pints of canned green beans, banana peppers and jalapeno peppers from last years garden.

Nice day here today. Mid 60's with sun and a cool breeze.

Wife and I are getting ready to start our seeds for the 2024 garden.

Hope you guys have a good weekend, and Danm you'll get em next derby. My dad always told me the most important part is showing up.

Pastramis ready to wrap.

Anyone here make their own meat snack sticks? Been making jerky for years, wanna try doing snack sticks soon. Wider variety of flavor options and cheaper than jerky. Was thinking about that while rubbing my meat this morning. This stuffs already cured, I could just trim it, grind it, add seasonings, and stuff it in a casing. I have an electric smoker that's almost exclusively a jerky box these days, I should try it. Using trimmings rather than buying expensive lean roasts and hand slicing, marinating, smoking and dehydrating jerky is costly and laborious.

Pastramis almost done. Fighting temps in the wind today. Finally gave in and started the electric smoker in the garage. The meats wrapped so it just needs heat to bathe in for a while.

Hard to gauge doneness when I want thin slices that hold together for sammiches. I'm thinking I'll pull by temp. Or just when my cigar is done. I think 192-195 and this corona will be done at the same time.

I like jerky but it never crosses my mind when I’m rubbing my meat. Freak.

No updates anywhere. Messaged the local scanner nerd group. Said it was suicide in a vehicle in staff parking but had no further information.

Sittin' on my butt today. Need a day of rest. Might have a cigar and a pour of the redneck whiskey (as opposed to Irish whiskey).

Did a round trip to DFW last night to pick up my older brother. My back, neck, hips are feeling it today. We’re sitting on the porch having coffee and I’m smoking a La Gloria. Nice to be with family.

Putting new rollers on boat trailer. Bit of a pain. Be lucky to do it myself and stay under 1000$. Old Grady 190 tournament. Solid boat. Honda 150. Lost a couple rollers over the years and decided it was time for new. I don’t go too far offshore unless I have a buddy boat.

Saw a big diamondback on our hike in the preserve this morning. Honored our truce. They leave me alone and I leave them alone. Played hide and seek with a couple coyotes also.

We are getting oak pollen on the cars even we simply forget to close the garage door. No car wash for another week or two. It also kills my pool for like 3 weeks every year. Got to get it of the walls an into the filter. Then, I'll just replace the filter as it is already almost 2 years old.

No rattlers here, but we had a coyote that was following us a couple of times a few weeks ago. Got some dog spray to carry. Haven’t seen him since..

Same here in East Texas. At least it sticks to my pickup windows and ruins my wash job!

Channeling my inner Palama and spent a couple hours sorting, labeling, and documenting every cigar in my stash. Been loading up for the past few months. I've wanted to do it forever but just..didn't. Today I got a box in the mail from a fiver sale and there were two repeat five packs from a fiver sale a month ago. At least I paid the same amount both times. But I need something more robust than my brain to keep track of what I have. I'm pretty good at remembering what's here but clearly there are lapses.

Everything is now in a spreadsheet. Every single cigar is labeled with a nice typed date. Now I just need to stay on top of it going forward. Will be nice and easy to reference pricing and stock on hand before a deal entices me.

Since we canceled our weekend drive to the grand canyon, wifey and I took the kids to the children's museum yesterday and to a lake nearby today. They had a blast at both and now I am pivoting from planning a do-over to the grand canyon to a trip to Zion and Bryce instead. I think it will better for little kids. It's two more hours to drive there but you can stay very close to the park and a lot of the stuff to do like hikes and exploring are shorter and closer so the kids can do a cool hour hike and be be done by lunch.

I remember hiking all the way to the bottom of the GC when I was six, but I don't remember enjoying it much...
