Went fishing Saturday morning. Joked about it, as I caught one 1 fish. Early morning, great place to fish. Great morning for fishing, too, as there were low clouds, mostly overcast conditions, very light breezes, mist at points along the lake, and a canoe race of some kind.
“My wife told me to be careful and not to get into trouble. I figure to be careful, I need to use a condom, and to get into trouble, I need to be in a situation where I have to use a condom or firearm. Ain’t going to happen with you, Kramer. Either one.”
My sentiments exactly. Dang, his wife must be psychic or something.
It was an amazingly beautiful day in Central Texas, just a little east of Austin, with a cloud-shrouded morning that fought off most of the heat, and although the fish were rather timid and lazy about looking at our baits, it was just a super day.
I tried coaxing, wheedling, pleading and some other stuff, trying to get the fishes attentions. Didn’t work. Caught one. Buddy caught one. I tried to get him to pose for a picture but he got upset, “No, don’t take a picture, that fish is too small.”
Toss them back, get some BBQ, head home, and head right back out the door, first to Jo’s to meet a client then to Barton Spring for a quick dip in the murky but cleaner than before spring water, then up to Fry’s. I quoted fredlet’s rule for Fry’s, “You never go just once to Fry’s.”
Went and had some fine sushi to balance out the midday meal, and then went back to Fry’s. Ostensibly, we were looking for a replacement laptop, and since my advice to get an Apple fell on deaf ears, it was toss up on the brands and prices. Dell? Not impressed with their laptops. Sony? Too expensive. HP? Didn’t they just buy Compaq? Compaq? Weren’t they just acquired by HP? What to do, what to do. I still figure Mac would be better, but I’m biased. Very biased. Solution? Buy nothing, yet. Shop some more.
I was up before the sun, and now that it’s set, I’m going to bed. Been a rather full day in paradise.
