Weather is gorgeous up here. Temp got up to 85 degrees today. I've been telling folks I brought it with me from the southwest. Since AC is not typical here, a lot of people feel too warm they get uncomfortable. I am still too used to New Mexico, so this isn't a problem for me.

Been trying to get out fishing. But they shut down the King Salmon season here in a lot of rivers. You need a boat to fish most lakes because they are saucer shaped and bench out too far for decent shoreline fishing. The rivers are still too high and muddy for decent fishing.

I picked up a couple of really nice fly rods. I will need to match them to some reels on next payday. I know a little of fly fishing. My son in law is into it more and I guess he will have to teach me. But at least I can cast satisfactorily. When I started out, I looked like Rodney Dangerfield. My technique was laughable. I took some casting lessons at a local Orvis in Denver, and figured out I was using too much arm and not enough wrist.

I need to get to the range and do some shooting. I have changed some optics and need to get them dialed in, and I need the practice as well. Ammo is not an issue fortunately.

Work is a grind, but still enjoyable. Folks at work are appreciating the chow I have been cooking for them. Tomorrow I am making a batch of chilequiles for them. I try to make something new, but have gone through most of the best of my repertoire. I suspect they won't mind when I eventually start to repeat.

Trying to make the most of life while the opportunities are still there. Whether any of the predictions of doom and gloom come to pass, or I just continue to age to the point of dysfunction, no point in waiting around for any of it.
