Default Winter "Blues"

The blue being water :grin:
Well, I guess I'm splurging, but it just seems like the right thing to do :grin:
March 20 - Zihu
April 24 - Kona
I was even fortunate enough to be able to book Norm Isaac's boat, the Sundowner in Kona on the 29th.

Beat me to it, Keta! January - agonize over countertops and flooring
February - Agonize over spending $$ on something I'm not convinced I can live with
March - live without a kitchen
April - attempt to put my life back together (or keep the gun out of my mouth)

:shocked:

Hmmm...ya, I feel a trip to Cabo in my future (this year). Been too dang long (5 yrs?), it's time. Sun, Sand, Cactus on the Beach, Warm Water, Cold Cervasas and BIG FEESH! And that's just the daylight activities! :grin:

Have fun Popeye- get the Big Blue One (and I'm not talking about the water)!

I loaded the camper on the back of the truck this morning for a planned weekend of sturgeon fishing on the Columbia. I immediately noticed a bounce in my step and have been stopping myself from whistling while at work.

I think I was suffering from depression and didn't know it.

The sight of that camper ready to go made me switch from talking about fishing to planning a near future fishing trip.

Amazing attitude change.

No more blues!

Popeye - Pitures Please - We all need a hit of sunshine and blue water, with fish of course, to get us through winter.
