You should sit there, eat, and grunt. Maybe the occasional "good!" or "bad!" in a Tim Allen/caveman grunting voice. Many years ago (~10) the missus and I were in San Fran, because I had a work thing where it was nice to bring her along for the evenings and lunches. We went to some dumpling place down in the "business/financial district". It was packed, and servers would come around with a cart loaded with a bunch of different kinds of dumplings. you'd say, "some of those, and some of these, and some of those other ones." It seemed like they had 20-30 different types, although it may have been less. It reminded me of the dumpling version of Fogo de Chao, and was just as good (but far cheaper). OMG, it was SO AWESOME! I think we ended up having lunch there 3-4 times because they we all so tasty. I'd cut off a couple of toes to have someplace similar around here.

Nice catch Vash!!
My Kayak has been one of my best investments for many reasons. There is something sooo satisfying about loading it up with overnight camping gear and paddling away to a remote camping spot or just day tripping. I'm not a fisherman so my waterborne trips are more about just getting outdoors. I still hike and do some backpacking too but the left knee is not completely reliable these days. Arms, shoulders and sense of balance still are ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

I'm not like vash ... any of y'all are welcome to fish in my ponds full of bass... lots of friends have.
Then we visit the plot of woods where the deer thrive too... May they all RIP ![]() |

I do have a place to take something like that, although it's a one way trip. I've done it once with a grandson, son-in-law, and myself in an inflatable boat which was a bear. Then we got a canoe (free) and did it once in that which was much better. The problem is that we start too late, and do it in a part of the year when it's too hot so the grandson complains before we get to the end, so the last ⅓ - ½ is a slog. It's ~6.5 miles and takes, I think, 3-4 hours. I'm not sure if we could do any fishing or not. I suspect we could. The last time that we went in the canoe, I thought "this is so much better than the big inflatable, but I'll bet a kayak would be even better (obviously, wouldn't work with the grandson). ![]()

I looked up, "Waldo's Camp"...looks like a neat area:
https://www.waldoscamp.com/ There are a lot of different kayaks for every type of need, it is really quite an an embarrassment of riches. My neighbor has at least 10 different kayaks so I only need my old Perception River Chaser from 1990 ![]() Skip's ride is rancho deluxe. Fun thread.

Striper spawning season is on at the other lower Colorado river too They swim up river and group up at the Palo Verde dam. Caught a couple on the 1st 100 degree day of the year. They make excellent fish tacos.

Went out to the mailbox yesterday to get the mail…I think an osprey might have dropped his lunch! A little finger mullet. Had to yell at the dog to “Leave it”!
