LOL............ I will be on the water next week........ Kayaking in the delta (sac/san Joaquin)..............

Did you do any paddling when you lived in the east bay??

I don't have many picts on this computer & nothing really recent but this is a pict of some of the locals were I go (attached)...... I assume they are leftest as they are always kicking back (in fall/spring) on the left bank, are fairly fat & lazy, & can be usually found on that log working on their tans & sleeping..

Cut my kayaking teeth on the Upper Kern, and the Tuolumne. Some on the American, Truckee the lower Colorado and the Columbia. Never did anything in the delta where you're headed...so, which section will you be doing?

Here was the view from my old office.




Here's the view from some of my "retired & traveling offices."

As a kid I did a lot of trout fishing on the Truckee River as well as the Walker River from Wilson Canyon to the Flying-M Ranch.

There's some nice spots in between the Fernley and Reno stretch of the Truckee River, that's where I learned to fly fish, it's been the standard of comparison everywhere else I've gone since, even more so now that I'm on the East coast.

I have not fished the last couple years but when I was I was salmon fishing on the Feather in my kayak.. Quite a ride when you hook up a thirty five pounder of lean mean Kings salmon (chinook)

I have not caught any real monsters.. Most are about like this->

But some are as as big as this..

I have seen many @ the ladder that size.. I have a place about a mile down from it....

Shark fishing on the Jersey Mud Flats I've been on some boats where we'd caught some fairly large sharks, one Tiger Shark was big enough to end the fishing trip altogether in favor of us drawing straws to decide whether or not we'd tow the big bitch home, it'd taken all four of us at fifteen minute intervals each, for four and a half hours to reign that monster in.

If you ask me, a nice fly fishing spot on a mellow river in the middle of the desert beats the hell out of fishing out on the ocean.

A while back I remember a guy on some fishing show going into the Florida Keys fishing for Marlin in a kayak, trying to find that on YouTube I ran into this crazy bastard's video.

I use to surf cast on long island & I caught a couple small ones but mostly what we called black fish (they call them rock fish here about 5 lbs), flounders, flukes & I really liked fishing for these small green torpedos that I can not recall what they are called but you use a lure & they come up out of the deep about twenty miles an hour & several hit it like lightening......... Lots of fun & a nice pan fish..

We in California are proud of our trees. Especially the giant redwoods that grow in the northern region of our State.


Trees have long been a love of mine. When we drove down our hill over the weekend were saddened to see that the neighborhood had lost a 75 year old California pine which damaged the homeowners house, (insurance claim).

The tree that was lost could have been saved if the owners had deep watered the tree this past winter, (four to six hours of drip from a hose every three months for established trees during dry/hot weather). Evidently, the Santa Anna winds dried the soil for months and and the tree went down. There was no need for that tree to die according to the tree service.

Today, I went out onto the deck and noticed that our view of the Pacific Ocean had been expanded. With the loss of that tree, I can sit in my favorite seat and actually see the water from my chair! However, seeing that big old pine gone is a high price to pay for my added view. Please water your trees regularly.


A tree like this can add several thousand dollars to your property value,
so in addition it is part of the investment of your home.

Okay now, this is just wrong.

You aren't supposed to show a picture of your office, you're supposed to show a pic of the VIEW FROM your office.
