Muscles were strained, dehydration was experienced, and yes, trout were caught — all after the stream we wanted to fish remained just out of reach, courtesy a couple snow drifts.
More after I discharge my Mom Day duties (Little M and I are taking a recon trip up a canyon and leaving the L&T [my Lovely & Talented to newer readers] to her massage).

I was ready, but the bastard wouldn't fall in.
See you doing dad things, Tom Chandler.

Happy Mother's Day!




























Blue skies all the way :-)

Amazing how a whole season can come down to four minutes of added time. If you wrote it that way in a screenplay, you’d be laughed out of the meeting.

And I bet the arms never get too tired hauling the little darlin’ around when she gets tired. Happy Mom’s Day Tom!

Seriously, honestly, sincerely: it was the most exciting end to a season ever – pure theater. Thank goodness Liverpool weren’t at the races; my ticker couldn’t take it.
