the pics from today thread

[mikes781]

Yeah, I fish bridges and light/shadow lines a lot at night, the kayak is nice since I can get to spots that aren't accessible on foot.  My fishing time decreased after my daughter was born too, but night fishing still works and doesn't affect family time too much

Yep I used to burn the midnight oil chasing fish when my girls were little but now they’re both playing travel softball and I help coach both teams. Bye bye free time March through November. All good pretty soon I won’t have this time with them and I still sneak out once in a while.



Even got to ski on this trip in December

I love me some tarpon! One of my favorite fish to catch.

Never caught any, or even attempted to catch any. I haven't been fishing in years. I used to love it, though. Mostly just bass and cats.

Nice pics Mike.  

Never caught a tarpon either.  The only time I targeted them, they wouldn't touch any of the flies I threw at them, but it was still awesome just casting to 150+ fish.  I did hook one off a beach in SW Florida, but it broke the leader pretty quickly

Happy Earth Day.

Stick lasted all of 1 1/2 games. Hopefully CCM will warranty it.  At least this one broke within the 30 day warranty period, they usually break at 31 days.

Annual run by this old cemetery during the bloom of these little flowers. I think it always looks cool with the brightness of the flowers against the old head stones. ( @Shadows should clean these)

I kinda like dirty headstones. Real metal.

I recommend a mild dish soap like Dawn, scrub brush and warm water...those are marble memorial stones and the vast majority of what we sell are granite.  Granite is harder and holds up to the elements better than marble.

Thanks leonardo.

Another good cut today. Super windy, though. Breezy too.

I think our grass guy at work is coming for the first time tomorrow.  Grass is getting stupid long.

If there’s grass on the field play ball.

Looking good. No cuts yet here yet. Probably another week or so.

He’s up in the mountains. Shorter growing season.

I believe it. This yard gets full sun all day and I feed it a bunch too so it grows a lot. My uncle's old place in the Pocs was mostly wooded and could barely grow grass. When it did it was like cutting a few patches of tufts of grass where some sun hit.

[RidgeRacer]

I despise cutting the grass. I wouldn't mind it as much if it were all straight lawn / sod. Our front yard is fine as the previous owners put sod down. Back is all rock / weeds which is the norm for up here. I've been known to destroy a mower blade or two.

The amount of time i spend on leaves is a completely different equation though. I hate leaves.

I’m on cut 6. Tomorrow will be 7. My grass grows so quickly that I have to cut it every Sunday-Wednesday- Saturday- Wednesday depending on how much rain we get.

Yeah, I’ve never worried about leaves. I hate picking up leaves exponentially more than any other type of yard work.
