Thx dude, i need the luck. Def need the getaway. It’s all worth it even though we’ll probably get skunked. It’s always slow in the beginning. I’ve already got a good 100 casts in been here since sunrise lol.

The salmon opener is usually all about the party down on the river, which will be once all my buddies get here in a couple hrs

I've lucked into a couple of those gigs. Unfortunately I was not mature enough to handle them. My mind was the devil's workshop. So there ensued sleuthing, poking into nooks and crannies and myriad other undesirable and immature traits.

Buffer riding races anyone?

The boredom is already getting to me. Online for two hours today and I still haven't had my first chat yet. I took this so I could burn off a few hours of boredom per day, if this continues for the rest of the week, I don't think I'm going back next week.

I had a similar gig when in early college, 4-8pm M-F; sat in a room waiting to answer the phone; merely to tell the caller to call back during 8am-3:30pm and ask if they wanted to speak to a specific person. I'd record the call in a log book. There was a TV and radio in the room, I did my homework and watched TV. I had 4 calls in the month and a half I had the job. I quit cuz I was going out of my mind. Pay was $5/hr (damned good in 1973). A nice lady would come at quitting time and lock up, she also left when I would show up for the day. One Friday I told her I quit, she tried to talk me out of it, telling me what a great job I was doing LOL. Never did find out what the business did or anything.

At least I'm doing this at home. I did the office/cubicle thing for a few years and hated every second of it. They wanted me to do this Monday thru Friday but Fridays are mine and I refuse to work them. I can't believe you lasted six weeks with only four calls. Did you know the number of the phone you were answering? Probably could have figured out who owned the line from that.

why am i awake today...oh yeah that right....need to keep the lights on....

well it's a nice balmy 82F this morning, might even hit the century mark today, and with the heat index.....eek....

well still rolling with the emotions of everything from this weekend. Still honestly hasn't hit me yet, dunno why. Kinda be numb to things around me lately. Haven't even cried which seems weird, guess that's the human in me trying to make sense of everything going on. Accendently, snapped at the wife last night.....kinda regret that. Especially since she's been at my side with all this happening.

Well everything has had it's morning watering and inspection....everything seems ok for the most part.....time to go meditate for a few.

Coffee is up, nice a hot.......second cup now...

I missed your earlier post about your Grandma. Sending you a long distance hug. Got a story about her you'd like to share? I don't remember much about either of mine, both from Europe and didn't speak much English.

yep got plenty of memories Barn.......

I remember the first time i met her, my parents now had gotten me out of a foster home, in those early years and they were doing to proceeding of adoption. They decide for me to meet them. Now here is a lonely kid with long hair, and alot of problems.....basically couldn't hear or speak at this time. They pull up to there house which was blue at the time and living in the city. We walk into the house, i'm hiding behind my mom now. I step out and i'm nose to nose with a sheep aka named porkchop. Talk about freak me out, moment later she comes out grabs me and gives me the biggest hug. Leads me to the table, sits me down next to my grandpa (RIP). She asks me if i wanted a snack, so she make me tomatoes with mayo on them. For me being where i came from i didn't have that at the time. It was the first time, i was just accepted for who i was. She just worked with me and my problems. Since i couldn't speak, i would just point and she knew exactly what i was pointing at all the time. She showed me around the house. That night i remember asking my mom, can i stay for the night. Mom said yes....she curled me up in a blanket, sat me down on her lap, and just hummed while watching tv....i feel asleep almost immediately....from that day and night on....i knew i was finally ......HOME....

That's a great story. Made me tear up reading it.
