It's been a minute since I have put the ink to paper ,so to say and have not one excuse why ! Lazy is as lazy does I suppose . The shadows have grown long and the air bites at the skin and during this time of year it seems to be the hardest time for me to get away from my warm cozy chair and venture out . The water is cold the skies can be so dreary and I am not one for layering on the clothes . I named this blog "Outdoors can't wait" yet here I am the hypocrite . I am not ill or over worked so what's the excuse ? I have none ! Time to pack a lunch and take a walk to share a bite with an old friend ,the great outdoors . Maybe with mother nature help I will see what I have been missing and get back to what is truely me ..............yeah , I'll be back later......................
P.S. Outdoors can't wait and I really miss you .
<(((><

Outdoors Can't Wait : Tuna Time !!!
My captain was waiting for legal papers to arrive that need to be attached the the boat before departing on the next trip ,so the waiting game begins ! This is the extreme mental prep part ! Then out of the blue (no pun intended) I get the call ! In two days my wife take s me to Tim's house (the capt./owner) where it all begins !
The day was here and all was packed and ready ! After pacing for the last four hours we are off to pick up Tim ! Yep pick up Tim and head to the bus station to catch a ride of 9 hrs to Bayou La Batre Alabama ,where the boat is docked ! After a while the bus arrives and a kiss and a hug later from my wife, Tim and I are off to Bama !

The Day After.....
Today is the day after Thanksgiving and I am still packed in the belly ! Still I'm very thankful for it ! Today ,"the day after' is the day we get all the Christmas lights out of the shed and check them for breaks and burnt bulbs before stringing them up ! Today is a beautiful day and we really need to get started . This time of year is a family bonding time ,even though there are just the two of us now it's still time to bond . Working together to make our simple home a beacon in the night to distant planets by putting as many lights as possible ! We could do this at another time but why wait ? The day after stuffing our faces over and over again then climbing into bed for a super full nights sleep needs a rebuttal of physical labor to equalize the feelings of over eating . We shake our hands to limber up our fingers and get the blood flowing for the hour(s) of untangling and replacing bulbs ! Get the ladder out and man the hammer and nails ! My thoughts wander as I watch my wife smiling as she hangs a wreath on the door and I think to myself that this is what it's all about ! Being outdoors with loved ones ,friends or alone is so much better than being boarded up inside wishing I had more time for outside stuff . Outdoors can't wait and neither can I !

Outdoors Can't Wait
There are things that we all put off for "another day,better time",but the time spent outdoors should never be compromised,if ya ask me or even if ya don't ! So much to see and feel outside ! The great outdoors is not on any one's clock ,it's got it's own schedule and waits for no one ! The color of the leaves changing doesn't stop for you to finish that paper ,the tides don't quit so you can try on one more cool fishing outfit and mother nature does not play the cards she deals them ! Take the hand given and play it , play it hard and you will not lose and the payment is ten fold ! Rainy day ? Bah ! Feel it wet your skin and pound down with out prejudice and say thanks instead of frowning and blocking with an umbrella or raincoat and you will be looked at with envy . If the hot sun is bearing down like an out of control heat lamp turn your face to it close your eyes and feel the love it has to offer . Take the time to open your eyes to the grandeur of the outdoors ,where ever you are ! There is beauty in all of it !
