About 30 turkeys have been hanging around our place all winter. They cross the lake here pretty much every single day. Kinda funny watching a big line of turkeys walking across the ice, looks like some sort of ice age dinosaurs.

A little spring cleaning today. Hank isn’t too happy about it. ?

We use a double coat brush on Hank. It looks like a mini garden rake, and that’s what I use to put the hair into one big pile to pick up, so you’re not too far off!

Apparently we’re adding days here in Michigan.

You could lose a day every 4 years if you want?

You don't like leap years?

This is from 5 years ago when my son was 10 years old and we visited Kennedy Space Center. Pre- Covid we would head to Florida every summer to go see the Tampa Rays and the Tampa Tarpons (Yankees) play as well as visit a few other places in the area.

 

That's Matt in front of the actual space shuttle Atlantis. It's weird to see him as a youngster with a buzz cut. At 15 now he's 6'2" with a mop of hair like he's one of the Beatles.

This is my Dad. He would have been 96 today. He died 10 years ago. This was the summer before and last time we fished together. I caught 10+ bass. He caught 1. The biggest 1. He always managed to do that. 

This is my son. I lost him almost 3 years ago to drugs. He was 31

So my wife saw an ad from HyVee looking for a boat to use in their store for the "boatload" seafood sale they're having, and that's how my johnboat ended up as part of a display in a grocery store.

As payment do they give you a 5-gallon bucket of hand sanitizer to disinfect it after all those people are done touching it?

They blocked it off so people can't touch it but not worried about anyone touching it. They paid to borrow it too, so it wasn't like there was nothing in it for me.

That’s awesome Blue! 
Let’s hope their seafood is fresh. ?

That's the thing about life man if you are fortunate enough to survive you will have the unfortunate task of burying your loved ones. I've lost family...grandparents and distant relatives mostly. But we've had some heartbreakers as well. I lost a buddy at 21 to a drunk driving accident....was riding in the back of a pickup on a gravel road...driver was drunk lost control and flipped...he was thrown several hundred feet and died on impact they said. Two years later when I was 23 had a buddy staying with a cousin who apparently owed some drug dealers...they come looking for the cousin...Alonzo opens the door and says he's not here so they shoot him in the head and run off. They were never caught. Those hit hard. My girlfriend lost her dad at 18...3 months after she graduated. That one was also very tough. By far the hardest one tho was what happened with my girlfriends twin sister. Her and her guy had tried several times to get pregnant but it always ended in miscarriage. Well one time it seemed to be going well...then about 6 or so months in she started having problems. Long story short she carried Grayson but he was born prematurely and his lungs weren't strong enough for this world. He made it about 6 hours on a ventilator until the horrible decision had to be made...poor little guy never had a chance. To say it was devastating wouldn't do it justice. That was 5 years ago last month and typing this now still brings tears to my eyes. 

Sorry for the long windedness there. But you are right...these things change us..hopefully for the better as they tend to make us grateful and appreciate the things we still have. Life will never be the same but all you can do is try. Honor the memories of those we have lost and keep digging down for the strength to allow ourselves to move on with courage and grace.

Thank you

and sorry about your losses.

This is why I’m back to fishing. It’s one of the few things in my life that gives me peace. Even now when my son isn’t with me fishing by my side
