I had lunch with my cousin at the supper buffet on MLK and 62nd Ave N in St Pete. First time there and I highly recommend.

I bought a stand-up style fishing pole to go with the new reel I got to replace rod lost when BiL was down. It has already shipped... Bouncing off the walls til it shows up.
Work was very choppy today - lotsa people needing lotsa things.

I get that but never thought about it before. Again, thanks. I have a real hard time keeping her away from nuts and candy that contains nuts.

Fished hard with nary a run off. Got 'em yesterday so will still have my fish fry this evening - after a few cocktails. What are you fishing for and how? Run off has me wondering - we live line a bit and wondering if that's what you are up to. Yellowtailing in KL. Been very inconsistent. Soon though.

Easy one today. Finished the Land Management Review with FWC & DEP, a 3 hour ZOOM.....sitting still that long kills me!
Met biologist from Florida Marine Research Institute and USF&WS service folks on our sand hill in regards to a plan to establish Etoniah Rosemary up there ( Federally Endangered ) and then took a side trip with the FMRI researchers to let them look at some areas where they want to search for Black Creek Crawfish ( Also endangered ), loaded up another truck bed full of long leaf straw and while driving that back to Fruit Cove spent a good hour on the phone with a landowner in Georgia who had land management questions.
Louann had dinner and a Pabst ready when I got home......which should have been a warning clue......because as soon a dinner was down she had me out spreading the straw.
Now.........thinking about a eppisode of "Foyle's War"......Brittish.....rather interesting......

Went to a gun range yesterday, first time in 50 years. When I shoot it is usually out of the airboat someplace, I had bought a savage A2 22 mag automatic to help with coyote problem. Took it to a grove that a friend has access to. The gun had problems ejecting spent rounds and chambering new ones. I was not happy. I pulled the gun apart and found it had a lot of grease in it. Cleaned it up but didn't have access to grove to retry it. Have a couple friends that are long range shooters so asked them to take me to range. Armed with about 8 different makers and types of bullets tried again. Gun worked great, found the bullet than it liked best and got it sighted in and ready to roll. These guys are serious about shooting, one is shooting competitively with a 22 long. The guy is able to get a tight group at 500 yards wit a 22 long. We were shooting 100 yards and they both were shooting the centers out of the targets.

Agree with you 100%.

500 yds for 22 long rifle! Thats some good ammo and one heck of a drop.
Seen some guys that would use a bullet hole for a target at 100. Tight shooting…

Tight shooting… They are paying 20 a box and buying a brick at a time. One of the does some kind of competitive online shooting, don't really understand how that works but it is world wide.

Fillet some Yellowtail (snapper), fixed a few loose screws in the rubrail, installed a Fusion stereo and got it synched with my Garmin MFD's. Mowed and edged the lawn, then fried up some snapper for dinner. Winning.
