John and Adam Back from Alaska

The boys made it back from the summer in Alaska picking up fish in SouthEastern. Both boys looked great. John looking like a young Amish boy sporting his new (beard). Adam brought down some fresh king crab and some halibut. And John brought a couple of red salmon. We picked Bill up at the airport and proceeded to Key Center for a seafood feast. And a feast it was. Great seeing everybody and WELCOME Home boys.

Make my day

Summer is drawing to an end. But what more could I ask for? Here it is 5:45 am,68 degrees, A hot cup of fresh coffee and a new day breaking before my eyes. Yes life does not get much better than this. Sitting here on the deck watching the early skiers trying to catch the first run of the day on flat water and the ducks getting into position for the day. The usual heron checking the shoreline for breakfast or maybe like myself just enjoying  life.
It is suppose to be a hot one today. Probably the low 90's "Too damn HOT!" I often thin on mornings like this I only wish this time of day could go on all day. My time of day.
No life does not get much better than this.
