One picture of your last outing.

That rim looks bent…

Yeah it's done for. Drove a few hundred yards on it. Trying to see if I can find some Goodyears with aluminum rims.
 
Spent the weekend at the lake. Got to stay in those houses under the bridge that are owned by the utility that manages the dam. Nice opportunity as there aren’t any private homes on the lakes in Arizona.

Spotted this 212 owner’s genius tie up so he had some shade in 110 degree weather.

Daughter turned the AR into a fishing boat. Then got surrounded by Yamaha’s ?CED92A58-4E2E-4A52-9C0A-EB42BA77C276.jpeg67A597A9-7C9D-4BDC-97E3-564553D095D8.jpegB97059E8-0034-4B1A-A850-54BEA2DD4017.jpeg

This was on the northern Chesapeake Bay at the mouth of the Susquehanna River. The kids where talking smack after my wife was driving the boat saying they couldn’t be thrown off the tube. I love a good challenge ?

Great day on the lake with my friends…caught these pike right at the end of the day on a lightweight fenwick trout rod with a 25 series reel with 10# braid and a#5 Melos spinner in day glo green. I bought tAt rod at Big 5 on special back in 1989, man I’ve caught a lot of fish with that rod / reel set up.

Caught this one first, what a freaking fight that was (or so I thought) made several runs and I had to put the butt of the pole on my stomach and ahold the rod with both hands.

I kept throwing the same lure and hooked the one below, I said at first, oh this one’s not as big, as it got closer to the boat I said, ummm, hmmm, not sure about that, when it came up next to the boat my friends all said OMG! And it bolted away from the boat at high speed, probably peeled of 75 yards of line, same thing with the butt of the rod on my stomach and two hands holding the rod. Not sure how much my net weighs, I weighed it in the net at 13# 7 ounces. 36” long.

Giving my friends eldest some helm time on the water.. I’d say he’s enjoying himself! I need to get this guy tuned up on docking, launching, and retrieving for future outings.

Calm and hot day on the water… 100* and no wind. Apparently a gnarly thunderstorm with good size hail skirted to the north of us. Not too many fish, a few smallies=fun, one fresh water drum, and a few catfish all caught jigging with minnows.

Did you keep it?
 
Only got out on the river for about an hour after work, but caught a few good ones...

We saw the osprey's head bobbing in the water, thought it might be caught on something. Then we realized it was about to try to lift a big fish out, and I got my camera up just in time to grab a few ok shots.

With the older girls in away camp, and the baby at the aquarium with the nanny, the queen and I took the monster on her first boating outing. Some wakeboarding for good measure
