Well, it was time for a Total Knee Replacement so I went in on Dec. 3rd and got busy


The food of choice was a plate of Fries and a Diet Coke but they only had Shasta   (NASTY)



Had to stay overnight cause Vitals crashed a bit so I came home on Thursday.





Can only lay around so long so yesterday was time to conquer the stairs



The walker is getting old and cant wait to 86 that thing, in the meantime I Pimped it out with a cup/rod holder 



PT 3 times a week and living on Oxy, oh boy ! I see the Surgeon on the 16th and then hopefully get the green light to drive (no Oxy )   

I have been eyeballing float tubes or a small kayak for The Sierras. Did The Bad Pig Build Out last month so that would also go well with a Pontoon

That's a good price for Squid 

Nice Haul, time for some Lobster Kitchen Creations

My buddy got over 2000 legal bugs last season, they are everywhere !

It's always a gamble but pretty cool when it pays off. I haven't ever hooped for them, only dove with scuba gear to get them. Sometimes they were buried in the rocks and sometimes they were marching across the sand but they always came home with me    Glad you found a few 

Amazing numbers, very impressive ! 

How is the shoulder 

That Eel Grass is tough stuff, got it in my Trolling Motor once and it was a chore to get it out !

Hopefully you are good to go with full performance now

Keep that gear lubed up as the bat fight will be here less than 4 months from now and I expect one of your boys to win this thing!

They have been putting in the time, hopefully the Bats want to play again this year   Hard to believe they will be 20 not long after the Bat Fight 

 Max and Myles had the day off yesterday so we hit MB at 6am in search of Bats, not long into it Max's rod goes off



A few more screams on his reel but they weren't fully committed Time to regroup and keep trying.


My line went slack and started moving so I set the hook   Click the pic, it's a video 



Looks like someone stayed out too late with his girlfriend 


A couple more drag burners but no hookups other than a Spotty for Max.


Back home by 12:30 pm so Myles could get to work on time 
 

That looked Nasty !! The puddles were a safer bet. Good luck on the Job Interview

Wow, fishing in Antifreeze

Hopefully ready for Rockfish Opener 2026, might try to get The Cyclops wet one more time before surgery

Quote from: Tim524 on November 07, 2025, 07:23:25 AMBeen dealing with a bad knee for a while and I can't take it anymore. Saw the Surgeon yesterday and he took more X-Rays to confirm my left knee is bone on bone   He said the soonest he could do a full replacement was Christmas Eve    I mentioned I was hoping to have it done between Thanksgiving and Christmas, he looked at his schedule again and said he thinks he can squeeze me in sooner, looks like I'll be spending lots of time with Mongo next month

You really are going to be Colonel Steve Austin! Lee Majors_v2!!!!

If only I could get my eye to make that cool sound

You are lucky to live so close, that place has served you very well !
