wetting a line in the surf

all for naught.. not a bite to  be had...pretty sunrise though..70* made for a nice early morning..

24 years ago today

I became a professional 'do-nuttin'..  lovin' it still..  moved south 3 days later.. and never looked back.. enjoying life..

back at it.. early in the morning

down to the beach for a sunrise..then on over to the lake... didn't even 'wet a line' either place..

meet and greet

first time back over to the lake to 'wet a line' since our return from our trip north.. and my buddies were waiting for me...they just wouldn't leave they were so glad to see me.. I did  :(

the new Dodge Challenger Hellcat.. muscle-cars are alive

2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat 707hp ...a lotta car for $60,990
as a comparison... a new 2015 Suburban LTZ 4x4 loaded is $70k
my new 2013 Avalanche LTZ was $51k.. but that was the last year they were made
my new 1965 GTO was $3,050 .. 360hp.. 3 deuces.. 4 speed but that was when the 'muscle-car' era started--the good ol' days

the drive home

12 hours..  avoided the traffic in Brooklyn.. and on the NJ Turnpike.. but somehow we caught some  just south of the Va-NC border in NC.. down to one lane.. not nice.. lost a half hour or more...you just can't beat it... weather stayed nice until we ran into a light storm on I-40 headed across toward Wilmington--got to see a double rainbow though..

a day trip to Port Jefferson

haven't been there since we moved south 24 years ago.. it was a pretty sunny day so we decided to go.. had lunch at Steamers--'steamers and mussels'.. then a walk around the Village..
