My roof is being replaced right now. They have found some issues that I told them about. so that is good confirmation. Our neighbor owns the company and he was the low bidder word.

Yeah, lingcod is pretty good eating, ugly fish. But they are a bottom fish that they can catch right off the jetty. In fact, my son’s friend went spearing the next day there and got lingcod that looked over 2 ft long. From the picture it looks 3 ft, but I don’t want to be accused of telling a fish story word.

I went fishing at Westport WA. My son wanted to spearfish and I cast from the jetty. It was pretty much a bust. First day we didn’t get started before we finished. He lost his mask right away. My reel wouldn’t cast. It was my father’s old setup and I guess it doesn’t work. Anyway we went to Big 5 and got a new mask and rod and reel. Next day I cast like a pro. He got in the water but it was pretty rough. Visibility was less than 2 feet. So he gave up. I got a bite but it let go. He cast and caught a starfish, then a real fish and then snagged a starfish so when he brought them up, we had both. Really weird. Then another starfish. And that was it.
His buddy that spears there all the time came the next day and got what looks like a 30-40 lb lingcod. Gigantic fish. So we learned something there. He spears just a bit after low tide. Says vis is not good at low tide and gets better when the tide starts coming in. So, that will be the thing to do the next time. We saw others bringing lingcod out of the water so they were there, but we were not lucky. But it was fun word.

I don’t like that Starocci got the chance for 5 titles. I don’t like that anyone has a 5th year, that;s just not right. Hendrickson was the logical choice in my opinion.
I’ll let you know how the fishing goes word.

My wife is increasing the size of our garden. Plus putting in a deer fence. We were able to get 3 posts in. Our ground apparently was either a glacier field or they filled the ground with river rock. We bought an auger and it keeps bucking on rocks big and little. We have to use a trenching shovel to get the rocks out. 6-8 inch long. While rototilling I ran over a big rock, it was about 1 foot long-ish, about as wide as tall too. Very heavy. It was a lot of work and my grip failed, my forearms burned. Still do actually just typing this up. So we had a busy weekend. End of this week will go fishing at out Westport with my son. He will dive and spear, I will sit on the jetty and fish and make sure he is ok word.

Yeah, that’s right in your backyard! Should be fun.
My best friend in college did the same playing flag football and softball. Big scar. I don’t know if he can tell the weather but I believe it. My mom could tell when the weather was changing and was 100% correct. Somehow she could sense the barometric pressure changes. She had asthma and allergies galore so that is the somehow word.

I agree about Taylor. He took a program that wasn’t supposed to be top 5 and made them top 5. I’d say he did a great job this year. He will have to keep it up and improve next year to solidify his status I think.
Looking forward to Vegas. I used to go when I did Veterans wrestling and that was a fun time. I really enjoyed being there to watch everyone. I had a ball doing the Veterans for 3 years word.

My brother texted me about that match saying the announcers were out of their minds with this win. I kind of feel bad for Gable, he has had a number of disappointments with WWE and NFL, this is really amazing. I watched the last 45 seconds or so of the match. I thought Gable would get away right at the end but Hendrickson held on for the win. Great effort by Hendrickson and now Gable can be noted as the only Olympic gold medalist to lose an NCAA championship. I’m guessing he went in over confident. And that is why the competition is held.
Will Gable try to make the World Team this year? I hope so, I think he makes it. But if Hendrickson is there as well, he may try again to upset Gable. This scenario played out with Dan Gable and Larry Owings. Larry beat Dan at NCAA and then tried to gain a spot on the World Team I think it was and was the only person to score a point on Gable. We’ll see if Hendrickson can do that one better.

I can’t do that. I watch it during the day but not in the evening.
I did think it interesting that #1 and #2 at 125 both lost in the quarters. PSU lost in the lightest two weights. Lilledahl fell. I haven’t looked since they were at 141 so I will have to look at that word.

Well I hope not. That would not be good news. It is fairly close to Mt St Helens. It has been quaking as well over the years. But increased activity is always something to watch closely word.

You know, I don’t have any ash from that. I do know that the year after was a bumper crop of apples because the ash would allow the water go get to the ground but it prevented the water from evaporating. So the apple trees had more water at their root system. I did a research paper on that in college. It wasn’t the minerals, silica doesn’t really help nurture plants. Which is what I thought at the beginning. So that was interesting.
On second or third eruption, Seattle got a dusting. I remember the cars seems dustier than usual. It was ash. Seattle actually didn’t get much ash. The ash went east mostly. One time it came north but went around Seattle. I remember seeing the ash plume the time it erupted 3 times in one day. It looked like it was not very far away. The plume was huge word.

I don’t live near there. But I hadn’t heard that. I had heard there are rumblings on Mt Rainier. I’ll check out Mt Adams.
We have a bunch of volcanoes here in PNW. I remember when Mt. St. Helens blew, I was a teen just east of Seattle. That was a big deal. Lots of people dead. Many steamed and melted. Others washed away with the mud slides. Bad deal word.

I’ve seen some traffic about this kid on the intermat forums. Unless they are going to put him in jail, I think they should let him wrestle. If he could be out on bail in time for the state tourney, he should be able to wrestle. I don’t mind the assault charge, but if he gets out on bail he is free to move around as he pleases legally, and I would suppose that includes participating in a tourney he is qualified for. But I don’t think the assault charge should just go away. I hear he is 19 so he is an adult and should be charged. I don’t know why the sport commissioner would take his chance away if he is fully complying with the law that he is in trouble with. Do they kick him out of school because of legal issues? That would be surprising.
Not much excitement over here. My wife’s sister and her family are visiting so that’s kind of fun word.

Yes, it has happened rather rapidly. Similar in Seattle. Seattle was known as the emerald city for 50 years. But since about 10 years ago, it has rapidly declined. Same thing, what was a felony is now a misdemeanor, no cash bail, letting people go after arraignment. It is just crazy. Why is this happening word?

Petting farms are good. We didn’t run into any trouble. I did hear today that a Brooklyn McDs now no longer allows minors younger than 20 in the place without a parent and ID. Apparently, the place was a shambles as the kids ran amok. Robbing, stealing, knifings, fightings, harrassment, now are all gone and the place is much quieter. Its true I tell you.
Days will be dry so I can do some cleanup outside tomorrow due to the wind storm we had. Lots of tree limbs magically fell out of the trees. Got one 12 foot long. Also need to work some drain issues in a few sinks. I’ll be busy tomorrow word.
