When you get a little behind on your posting, people assume you’re lollygagging in front of the television, stuffing handfuls of potato chips into your mouth and washing them down with pureed Twinkies and Diet Coke.

If only the truth were that pretty.

What is true is the Trout Underground’s World is turning upside down; we’re cramming all our worldly possessions into boxes, moving them, and then un-cramming them.

Yes, my friends. We bought a new house. [sfx: gasp of horror]


Waiting to move. Plenty more where these came from

Sure, it sounds like a simple, relatively straightforward process, and I suppose it is — the same way boils are a simple, relatively straightforward process.

At first, I admit to a little uncertainty about the idea of a new house, but the L&T — a much better salesperson than I am — dangled the possibility of my own garage in front of me.

Rod racks. My pontoon boat snugly suspended from the ceiling. Float tubes lining the walls. A wader drying station.

The mind reeled. The heart quickened. The deal was done.

So yes, expect fewer posts this week, weekend, and early next week. Getting DSL up and running is never a sure thing, and with all the time I’ve invested lately protecting our legal access rights to the Upper Sac and McCloud Rivers, the part of me that’s trying to make a living is feeling a little neglected.

Like always, expect to see the weird, the interesting, and the humorous posted here — just a teensy bit less of it.
