No skunk? Well, not technically...thanks to those silly white bass. But I NEVER get skunked on catfish...at least until yesterday.
But my whole day was a doozy...a really "marvelous Monday". It started early. There are 5 traffic lights between my home and the freeway onramp. I usually pride myself on hitting them all on GREEN. Yesterday I hit EVERY ONE of them on yellow...just at the point I had to stomp the brake to keep from running the light on red. And then there was only one car that went through and a long red light to wait out.
I usually leave a bit earlier in the morning. But it is getting lighter later these days. So I was on the road about sixish rather than an hour earlier. What a difference! It was wall to wall trucks on the freeway, along with a few kamikaze drivers who figured the speed limit was only a suggestion and that THEY would go as fast as they wanted...while zig-zagging through the maze of legal speed drivers and trucks.
And then I took the "scenic back route" from Spanish Fork to Lincoln Beach. Bad move. Every school bus in that part of the state was on those roads...going slow and then stopping right in front of me with the lights flashing...for up to 5 minutes at a time. And those dear sweet children. Just love getting flipped off by cute little 3'rd grade girls grinning at me out the back window of the bus.
Did someone say skunk? I saw (and smelled) about a half dozen dead skunks on those back roads to Lincoln Beach. I was hoping it meant someone killed all the skunks so I wouldn't have to. But no-o-o-o-o-o. It just meant that at least a few were dead. There was still a big one waiting for me on the lake.
Still, as we all agreed, it was a lovely day on the lake with good company. But I noticed you and Lynn stayed well out of camera range all day.
