    Thanks

    For sharing. The photos were almost as good as being part of the festivities. We always need good news. Rick.

    Not hanging around these parts as often as I used-to...a belated Congratulations for you and your family. Hmmm...now was fighting the C worth it? Perfect example of why we fight the fight- to live to see moments/events in life like you and your wife did. 

    Your above talk about life on the water got me to thinking. Look out my north window for the past 16+-years, I see three riverboats and the Mississippi River, but I've never actually been on the river in a boat. My house is actually about 1 1/2-blocks from the river with unobstructed view. You were from Ohio, you say. Well, I grew-up not far from the Illinois River in Putnam, Il., and Grandpa and I would go out on his boat once/summer for a day of fishing on the Illinois- launching from Hennepin, Il. Problem is- seems the only thing I caught was Carp. Years later caught Bluegill and Bullhead in local creeks made toxic by farm field chemical run-off, and did catch one Catfish, but maybe it was the Carp thing on the Illinois that turned me off fishing. 

    Also of note- the QCA has a bass contest every year on Old Muddy where bassmen come from all over the country, and a couple of the brass from where I work partake each year. FYI.

    The Fight...

    The fight was always worth it to me, I never thought otherwise... You know me, I'm going kicking and screaming, LOL.

    Carp you say..., LOL... yes we use to catch those as a kid at the local lakes. About the best I caught as a kid were many blue gill, channel cats, a few bass (large mouth and small mouth), perch, northern pike, bull head yellow cats, and once or twice a few muskie...

    Florida has a ton more fish available to me...

    Fishing ot course is a passion, but just being on the water is awesome.

    I don't think I could handle being on the water day and night 24/7... I do tend to get sea sick, mainly dosed up equilibrium at time if it's rough. Not usuallu enough to mess with fishing, but that dizzy feeling for a few hours after being in rough water all day.

    But I love the quiet and back to nature early in the morning, just a hint of mist that encloses you in your own small world...hard to describe it unless you've been there.

    Best Always...

    Thanks All...

    Being on/near the water is in our blood, LOL... my son for sure, his grandfather was a shrimper owning and operating a 78' steel hull in the Gulf. Me, I'm not sure where I get it from growing up in Central Ohio, LOL... but even as a kid I was always fishing in a lake, pond river or stream...

    As for the suit..., LOL twice a year... that makes me laugh.

    I am definitely not a suit guy.....

    Believe it of not, I went to Catholic School for several years as a kid.... The tie came off as soon as class was out, and usually wadded up an stuck in my pocket for the walk home.

    That table in the photo...there was three of them, about 30 place settings at each table...huge old rustic building filled with tons of maritime items...I was exploring when the kids weren't rounding me back up to help with the hanging lighting, telescope for moon gazing later that night, and putting together the many other areas for the wedding.

    Best ~ JG

    Hi John

     

    Great news my friend congratulations on getting a new Daughter in-law; I will be getting grandchild #6 in June. And yes I do a good job of spoiling them.

     

    That’s my job and I am sticking too it!

     

    God Bless
