It is a beautiful summer day in northern Utah. The kind of day that makes you glad not to be in an office some place. Spent most of yesterday on a lake with my buddy Nate, We managed to catch our limit of trout. I managed to talk Nate into taking all the fish. It is not that I don’t like fish but I just finished smoking about 15 maybe 20 pounds of trout and salmon and I have plenty for fish. I kept 1/3 of the smoked fish and handed out the other 2/3 to Nate and Jim. The fish was from our last fishing trip to Flaming Gorge.


I slept in a little later then normal this morning and got a late start on my walk. It had warmed up enough that it affected the quality of the walk and I did struggle a little. But I figure if I keep plugging along it will only get better.

I misplaced my to do list which has really worked out for the best. I have forgotten what was on it so I don’t have to do any chores, Makes for a relaxing day.

It is raining and will be raining for the next few days. Parts of the state are flooding or have flooded. I figure it must be global warming (sarcasm that was sarcasm). All in all life is going very well. My buddy Nate just got his boat fixed and wants to go fishing. But it is raining and will be raining for the next few days. So maybe Monday would be good. Tuesday would not be good, I have a doctor’s appointment in the early afternoon and I know if the fish are biting we will not leave the water. Wednesday would also be good; looking at my schedule any day next week would be good except Tuesday.

I took my mom to the hospital today for a yearly treatment for her bones. The bone density test she had a few months ago showed she was at moderate risk for just breaking. This treatment should stop her bone loss. We got done about lunch time and she wanted a burger for lunch. We ended up at the Red Robin and they do put out a tasty burger. The bride and I went out for a little shopping and trying to figure out what to do for date night.

We figured out date night, the bride made hamburgers and French fries. We have a fire in the fireplace and we are watching TV. Maybe we will hit the garage sales in the morning.
