I told ya I'm bad at posting but there hasn't been favorable weather on the weekends either.

Got in a soak with the boys last Friday though! 57° was tolerable after a few beers and some brats.

I can tell this story now that it has a happy ending.

When you drop your great grandfather's knife in the creek only weeks after inheriting it, you jump online and priority ship a new underwater metal detector, put on your sexiest outfit then you use that same knife you recovered after 20 minutes of searching to cook a couple beautiful steaks and potatoes and onions so you can enjoy the rest of your afternoon. 😁

Shout out to Andrew Martin for the assist 👍

Haven't posted in a couple days because we've been busy enjoying the weather!

Monday I had a Save A Lot steak seasoned with a mix of SPIKE and Meehan's Rib Rub along with mushrooms, onion and potatoes boiled in creek water, butter and some Yeungling Black & Tan while the dogs enjoyed a beef knuckle from Toohill Seed & Beef Service. 😁

Sunny days get me in the mood! Thinking back to the largest group float I ever organized. Circa 2020

The creek is finally no longer a giant block of ice! Looks like there will be some fun had this weekend!
