Went fishing last night. Me and my fishing buddy started catching fish pretty much as soon as we hit our spot. One of those trips where we were catching and releasing fish so fast and furiously that we were exhausted, but happy. Fresh striped bass for dinner.
Hope the eye is better, Sam.
Tomatoes coming in slowly. Couple of plants just suddenly wilted away leaving unripe tomatoes.
Be OP ;-)0 -
Good morning gentlemen.
Sounds like fun, Lee.
No tomatoes at all, here. We have two green cherry tomatoes on one plant. Our horrible weather in May and June did us in, I think. Our bumper crop, this year, will be in grapes. Our 5-year-old grape vine is covered with large bunches. They should be ripe in September.
Today is our DGD's 9th birthday. We have to exchange one present after church, so it will fit her. The party for grandparents is at 5.0 -
Good Morning
Not a bad fishing trip Lee.
I am still feeling pretty run down so we stayed in yesterday. I rested did a chore, rested, did a chore and watched a lot of tennis, and my new hobby...unplanned naps. Feeling better today, so we are heading out, probably to the movies to see ET on the big screen again since it is warming up again. I always have work to do in the garden. I need to cleanup the Peruvian Lily beds, hopefully using a rake and not my back.0 -
Good Morning...
Cooler weather here now, we'll see if it'll last, but enjoyable for August. Book club meeting was good, but much discussion of where to meet in the future.
I spent much of yesterday installing a spare tire swing-gate (made in USA!-- Wilco Offroad) and now I can open my rear hatch quick and easy. Cost 9 times as much as the old one I took off, but worth all the time and effort I had been wasting.
Maybe a hike or paddle this afternoon, and then church services this evening.
Hope Sam's doing well. Lee, sounds like an awesome fishing trip. Sorry about your friend. Bill, hope the mystery illness episode gets figured out definitively. Steve, is your boss back tomorrow?0 -
OK OK my pool story. I played football for a couple of years in college at Univ of Calif., Riverside. We were having I think 3 a day practice sessions ( ok maybe it was just 2 a day with one morning session and an afternoon session?) Anyhoo it was bloody hot one afternoon in the upper 90s+ so the coach told us all to go swimming. You can see where this is going?? I was doing a 1.5 forward somersault off the low diving board which is mostly a blind dive whilst spinning around. I was concentrating on the dive when a lady swam into the diving area unbeknownst to me. I felt my hands entering the water and at th same time a loud crack of our heads. She was wearing a swimming cap but was moaning quite a bit from the collusion. When I got out of the pool blood streaming down from my head to my ankles albeit mixed with some pool water (think Hitchcock movie Psycho scene in the shower here). I headed for the showers and strangely nobody followed me there to see if I was going to pass out. They also let me drive myself to the hospital to get stitched up. It was more stiches than I got playing football or rugby (7 stitches my first day of rugby practice in my chin).
Ya know there is a reason folks are not permitted to swim into the diving area when we are diving.
Sorry about the tomatoes Dave the ones I got in early are all producing buckets now. The best variety for slicer tomatoes we have grown in the PacNW is the Siletz. It is a determinant (limited to bush size) early variety with great flavor.
Our brandywines are finally growing some ok sized green fruit and hopefully we will have some later. Meanwhile we have a yellow cherry tomato, some Stupice, some Early Girl, and a nice ongoing crop of Siletz.
We used wall-o-water to stimulate them all in the cold spring and used the newer red colored version of wall-o-water on the Siletz tomato which was a very tiny start.

Good Afternoon,
Able to type this myself,
Vision much better but left eye is still blurred.
Most of my tomatoes are only yielding small about 2" and very few because birds, deer and rabbits are beating me to them. Bush beans are dead because deer kept eating every hint of a leaf. Rabbits ate 3/4 of pole beans about 6" above ground and vines died that were at top of fence and blooming.
Fresh fish sounds great, water still too hot down here; tournament winner won with one largemouth bass of 5 lbs 3 oz0 -
Good evening!
I have picked a handful of cherry tomatoes and that is all we have.
I forgot to log in this morning.
Bill and Sam, holding you both in prayer!
Bob that sounds like a very painful story. Ouch!
We are FINALLY going to have some cooler weather this week. We might even get some rain on Tuesday. Woot!
Have a great evening!0
