Careful......you will end up with a shoulder like Tom's

Always cool to see a WSB

I better make sure to have it locked up tight next March   

About 2 months ago I went "Looking" at Camper Shells and found the one I wanted, It had to be custom made for my truck since it's a 2003 Long Bed. Well it came in on Friday so I had it put on today


Everything was going well till the owner walked over to me and said there was a problem I'm leaving in 2 days, I don't need a problem !!!  Apparently the guy on the forklift somehow F*cked up the back window frame of my $5000 purchase  



It bent the window frame and racked it out of alignment so it doesn't close all the way and only one side latches   A little black Duct Tape to spruce it up a bit


He felt really bad and ordered a new window frame and window, 2-3 weeks out So I now roll into Bishop with this one. At least it still locks on one side for now

I think I like it for the occasional short trip, then take it off and hook up the 36' Toy Hauler for longer trips



Typical Monday !

 Every Sunday morning for the past 6 or 7 years we meet a group of friends at 8:30am at Lake Wohlford Cafe or a few other choice places for Breakfast. This past Sunday most of the Clan was going to be out of town and one just had his Knee replaced so Janie and I decided to head North to the Toy Store   It didn't take her long to set the tone for the day


Lunch was sounding good so we chilled for an hour and had a nice meal. The usual

 
First things first.....grab a cart and get busy





Even the Yotes were glad to see her back at it 


Checkout was quick this trip, thank God ! 1 bag and a few Gift Cards, time to hit the road


I grabbed a few Trout goodies and a Bass Jig, along with some wood chunks a Cargo Divider and a Rod Sock. I'm good till next Sunday when I return to replace what I donate to the Owens River


Bad Pig will explain in another post about another topic

She has an attraction to them damn things

I think Windy was off quite a bit cause it looked good to go but everyone said it was not good

At least you found a few to play

I really need to get The Cyclops wet, things just keep spoiling that plan

Off to Bishop/Mammoth on the 11th for 5 days to chase Trout 

Bass Pro on the return trip, Janie will miss out this outing

Wow, you guys got some quality fish, well done !

Where did all the leaves come from ?

Not being able to steer the boat because the Kill Bag was too full is a good problem to have, great trip !!!

Looks like it's a great trip so far, sore shoulder and no sleep isn't the picture I see with that big smile, you are in the right place for sure. Looking forward to the next report 

Back in my younger days I fished those Islands as a Kid, then in my late Teens I did some Scuba Diving up there as well.

I have never been back but I can see your adventure is a good one !  

 I had a Date with a chainsaw today for 3 hours, now I feel old as hell because I completed my chore, took a shower and called it a day. Took a seat in my Recliner for a bit and when I tried to get up my back, hands and knees were sore as Hell !       I hobbled to get some muscle relaxers and I am DONE !
 


 
58 and feeling like it too, fishing is much easier

It's funny, I mention Firewood and they disappear

Well that is something different for sure
