Living near the coast is nice, having a neighbor who goes fishing is even better.
Mr. D helps a friend maintain his fishing speed boat. They go out often in summer, like way out.
Supper tonight is fresh cod caught yesterday 40 miles out, 300 deep deep. A baked potato and the first string beans from the garden make for good eating.
Keet, it was delicious. I ate a bit too much, though. He gave me 4 nice fillets, the rest is in the freezer. This was the second pack of cod after one each of flounder and haddock, all deep water.
Dasia, I spoke to Mr. D tonight ~ Scrod is another name for cod.
Nice bird shot, GTO.
It's a balmy 27 F here with bright sun. We may get an inch or two tomorrow but no brutal cold is expected.
The Old Farmers Almanac may have been right about central US having a colder than normal winter.
Mother Nature is such a wonder. When she wants to, she can cram more beauty into a given area than a human would ever conceive. You have caught a microcosm of the entire area in one spot. 5
