Niffty

I met up with Homer at a gas station in the middle of the night to catch a night bite in Rockaway.

I love that one!

I'm going to a show tonight. Can't say I'm that into the idea, but he was a music guy. It feels right. He wouldn't want me to wast the tickets.

Us locals should put together a tribute. Charter a boat, drink some brown hooch and Kane, and throw our rods overboard. OK, maybe just one cheap Zebco combo as a tribute, but you get me.

I think he met my wife at the Clam Slam giving her boiled peanuts.

Oh man, this is terrible. I thought he was on the mend. One of the best guys on the board. This may sound weird, but I've got to figure out how I'm gonna tell my wife. She loved Chris. Whenever she showed up at an event they always got on real well. They both asked about each other. We all went to see The Misfits at Prudential in his company box with Bellringer. He always teased me about the earplug/cotton in the ears incident. And rightfully so. We had to go to his jeep after the show to get tweezers from his first aid kit, because I forgot my earplugs and had cotton stuck in my ears. He made my wife take it out. (wouldn't you?) I remember being hungover as **** on an ice fling. Chris kept calling me from the lake "Where are you? When you getting here?" I probably wouldn't have made it out if it wasn't for that. Definitely one of the guys I genuinely sought out whenever we've all been together. I remember him showing me his daughter's artwork on a tog fling. And I remember the fluke fling rod overboard. I have a pic somewhere of his rod tethered to him on the last tog fling. Something about an issue with his grip. This is very sad. A real shame.

Have you seen the price of blood worms?

Set it on fire.

“If” my butthole ends up on social media. You don’t me, do ya?

I’ve seen them a couple of times. They’re one of my favorites. My band in HS used to cover that song.

Who needs a bath?

I thought it was eye contact. It’s not gay as long as there’s no eye contact.

I'm going to great things with those soundbites.

This year's pickles are quick refrigerator pickles. High in garlic. No spice. They are awesome and you would love them.

Sorry, that was just teed up way to high not to swing.

What else would I do on my birthday?

I'm still in the other punk rock band. This is something new and different. Very different for me. This escalated quickly. I went from auditioning to cutting a demo in about 2 months. Not bad for a DIY basement recording. I'm sure I will receive some choice analysis from the SOL crowd. Probably starting with the band name. (Not my idea. ) While I'm at it, might as well play catchup with the other band (since I'm too damn busy to post much of anything lately. I've barely even fished this summer. Been on the road constantly and haven't even kept up with that thread.) We released two cover songs on a compilation album. One is great. The other one has good bones, but needs some work. Some very good covers from the other bands on the album. It's on all the streaming services, but I'm only posting apple and Spotify. That should cover most folks who care to sample it. **

Typically slow for late August, but I managed a nice one.

Valentine Pond. Adirondacks.

Did you guys get stormed out? That sucks. I hope the tomfoolery makes up for it. I bailed to fish up here. Drizzle for now. Storms later.
