Sunset

fishin

Since I've been back from holiday, I've found it much easier to avoid going to work every waking moment. In fact, I find it is much easier to not go to work at all. So this is what I've been doing on Sunday afternoons.

Behold, the might wooly bugger. I call him green boy.



Just tied this one, but his brother was successful in finding his way into the mouths of several fish the last couple of weeks. His cousin black boy also found success in his mission.

You might be thinking, it is the middle of december, what am I doing standing in a desert lake, in this weather. In fact, I find it quite peaceful. The view from the lake:



Fellow fishermen:



As serene as this looks, this day was biting cold. (16 degrees Fahrenheit, give or take a couple) In fact, after about 15 minutes, it became impossible to fish, in light of the complete loss of feeling in the hands. That, and the fact that the eyes on one's fly rod tended to ice shut. But after a couple of fish, it was onto the "local" bar at the lake, to sip a beer and watch the football game. Good times... good times.

dreaming of the african plains...

A picture that i really liked for some reason, reminds me of Africa, and i've never even been to Africa. Plus, i think i may be able to save these guys.

Report from NY

Sure to get out and about tomorrow, meanwhile here are some requested pics of the pad..

From the kitchen,



From the living room,



The bedroom,



And the bathroom,

coincidence

Coincidence or Conspiracy? I went out for chinese food tonight, my fortune cookie said "You will soon be enjoying some well-deserved time off." For those who know me well, this rings very true. Confucious say... maybe there's more to mass-produced, individually packaged, generic fortune cookies have more to them than meets the eye...

this will take some investigation.

Weird - Don't know why this one ended up bookmarked, there was a reason at one point, I can't remember.

Cool Stuff that shouldn't be in other stuff

just got a sweet camera (the first pic in the last post was taken with it) for my upcoming adventures (including, but not limited to, my trip to the big apple), so look for upcoming posts with vivid photographic accompaniment. stay tuned.

What i am doing

So this

is my next victim, see how green and nice it looks, pretty soon it will be filled with these...

So I can turn it into this (the first pic is the green stuff at the top of this pic, the opened-up dirt at the foreground is now filled with "communities," filled with homes - not houses - for people with families):

Sorry.

Off to celebrate the fruits of my labor.....

So, on the advice that i should post something, here is what you can see one hour from my dwelling,

So hopefully this will be the first of many - you can check out my previous attempt here. I can't for the life of me remember how to log on as Johnny Scrambler anymore, so here we are. For introduction's sake, and for the less intuitive, a history of the login name, and the blog title:

The name is just a play on the old 45 rpm vinyl records. Get it, "revolutionary" 45? Plus a nod to the role that music can play in social change. blah blah.

A "wooly bugger" is a particular type of artificial fly used for wet fly-fishing, designed to imitate some sort of nymph or something...

More posts to come, hopefully with pics of my many adventures and exploits, and vivid descriptions. Until then..
