What did you accomplish today?

San Diego has all kinds of really good therapists. Seek out someone with EMDR training and keep on until you find someone you connect with. Being able to process the burden helps immensely. So don't give up, keep searching until you find that person. You are well worth it. You have all my best wishes and thoughts on staying in the game. :hug:
You are so sweet! Thank you so much for the thoughtfulness, compassion, understanding and excellent advice . I was thinking about you as I drove past your exit on I 5 south today. Best wishes to you and your family! What a beautiful California day! I love this state.

This is the entrance to a water trail. It gets to only about 5' wide so paddling is tough and you need a short boat. Fun place to see wildlife though because it's all swampy marsh. All the spider webs where still covered in dew........like strings of pearl's. One year I had a huge snapping turtle right under me. But that's also where we got bombarded with horse flies. So no pics of in the trail sorry. Great morning :blsmoke:
Dragging a Hula-Popper on that water and a big LM bass hits on it, guaranteed hooked on fishing for life!

That actually looks decent. Down here I've seen nothing but twisted crap, sigh......
Oh it’s fucking crap everywhere. I fucking hate wood.
I picked out every stick of lumber for the house except the trusses of course. They supposedly only use the best shit for that and it was still kinda shitty.
@Justin-case I ordered up all the 2x6’s from Payless for the shop. Had them cut to 140”. 12’ tall walls. Now my nail banger buddy said payless got the good shit covered for orders like yours. I said are you sure because their lumber sucks bad just like meeks. Lots of it is uncovered outdoor. My buddy was like trust me bro.
I was fucking so pissed when I cut them picks open when they were delivered. I’d say 1/3 of them were so bad they weren’t even straight enough for blocking. What a fucking joke.

All those halibut. Here's a halibut.

We called those "Neighbor fish" because the flesh is coarse and stringy so if you got one you would pass chunks around to your neighbors.
Besides those big ones are always female - the breeders. A fish like that can produce 100 k + eggs per season.
The last 10 years in AK we released anything over about 60 lbs.

12' are sometimes culls or drops, sounds like what you got anyway. Number one and number one select is usually milled into 16' and 20' lengths. It also helps to keep an eye on the end grain. If the board is cut from the center of the tree, it will almost certainly twist as it dries.
