<—– Finally a tomato turned red! It was like watching a pot waiting for it to boil. My lemon cucumber is taking over the planter even though I keep cutting it back. We are getting about three to five a day now so I might have to start sharing. The peppers are producing well also.
My ear is still sore but it is nice to have it back in one piece.
We spent this past weekend visiting our friend Ronny. Brandon drove over from Nevada and KRP, Brandon and I headed up I5. I did the driving that way hunting down dinner was their problem hee hee. Besides it a tradition that Ronny plays pyro with the barbecue.
I put a video together quickly so it is not the greatest but hey it is done. The little cheap video camera does not have stabilization so it is hard for me to get steady footage – yeah yeah I know excuses, excuses. Along the same line, the fishing was terrible! KRP was at the dock and said that everyone coming in was complaining how dead it was. Apparently very few boats brought in any keepers so Ronny and Brandon’s fish count more LOL My largest was 1/4 shy of legal.
It was freakin hot by 10am Ronny asked if I wanted to go in and ding dong me said NO so about 11:45ish I gave in before I turned into a short circuited baked Jan. O yeah the floating toilets that I never have paid much mind are now on my list of awesome things. They even have rails around them making access fairly easy – must have been cause I did not fall in the lake. Usually we go out on Ronny’s dads boat but Mark and Nina gave Ronny their boat – way cool.
I still can not decide if I want to fix the water pump deal on my boat and practice practice in a parking lot backing up etc or if we should just sale it. If we were closer to Shasta it would be a definite keep it. We hate going to Folsom because fighting on the docks is common and the water fleas and music boats seem to relish swamping fishing boats. Go figure. I am to chicken to do the river thing.
The weekends video:
I love Shasta. We stopped to camp there for a couple of days last time we went down to visit my folks in so. CA. Didn’t fish, but watched the houseboats and water skiers go by. Nice. Thanks for sharing!
There was still snow on the mountain I wish I had remembered my little water proof point and shoot.
Nice tomatoes — miss the ones that actually have a taste. Too bad about the fish but the rest of the time didn’t look too “crummy”! Floating toilets. Nice. I never was very talented with hanging off the back of the boat.
Yeah nothing like a home grow tomato. We received a nice bag of celebrity and heirlooms along with some squash from Ronny’s mom – yum yum.
Since we are usually fishing for bass we are not far from the shore most times. So shore going is the norm. But that toilet mid lake was awesome 🙂
I used to be able to hang it off the back but I suspect I would end up glad I wear a life jacket nowdays!
