We had Peter and Betty down last week from Apache Junction, and that was great! Peter has a new smoker and we reaped the benefits as he brought down a bunch of smoked ribs along with his special barbecue sauce. Man that was good! Come back soon!
Our car is still on the fritz, Oswaldo thinks he has a line on a new motor. We're going over there today for a visit to their new home, I might learn more then. Meanwhile, Tina was kind enough to loan us her Samurai- it makes me feel tough!!
In case anyone missed it in that last shot, Shadow in mid-ear flap.
It's bike rally week here, and we have been out to a bit of it. The Cellphone Cowboys were playing at JC's on Friday, and we sat on the patio and watched the action below. Tons of chromed-out bikes, and jeeps loaded with pretty girls, some of whom for some reason wanted us to see their breasts. We stayed out late for us, like 10:30!! Then yesterday we spent a bit of time at the Sandbar, where Tina was spanking people at their request. Why? Cause it's bike week!
Friday before we went to JC's, we went out on the Pancho Villa for a fishing trip. We left at 8 AM and got back at about 2:30. She's a 57-foot Californian. Annette, one of the owners, is working on getting advertising for the RPNO and while she's out, she talks up my website biz. I've just finished a website for Ramon's, www.lacocinaderamon.com.
Carl caught one before I did. This one went into the bait bucket.
We both caught rock bass, and I caught a triggerfish. The biggest fish caught was a triggerfish about 15" long, and about ten pounds. That one wasn't caught by us. There were 14 people on the boat besides crew. On the way home, they filleted and skinned the fillets, then bagged them up. We got about 3 pounds, and ate a pound that night for supper. The trigerfish was meaty and firm, and the rock bass was softer but a little bony. Tasty, though!
There was a really nice sunset on Friday, too, which we caught from our back yard.
Here's our newest addition, a little fireplace for the back yard. We tried him out last night. I think we need a name for him- anyone?

You make me envious. The warm weather, the fishing trip and now the backyard fireplace. We had our backyard all set up here to put one in as we are selling our camp and I am going to miss the fireplace. Conclusion: You may be the last street in town, and you may be putting in a fireplace with safety screens but no outside fireplaces within the town limits. What to name him how about POTTY for his pot belly. Shirl
Sounds like the fishing trip was fun! I like that the fish was cleaned, filleted and bagged for you.
Hope your car is back on the road again soon - what a pain!
Wow - nice sunset!!
I get to do that for real in a couple of weeks.I'm getting to old for this crap.If I'm lucky I'll even get to sleep in my own bed once during the first 2 weeks.Oh well I'll be sure and have a lobster and think about you guys :p
Stay safe and enjoy that lobster, Pat! Do you go out for days at a time?
Sure do Mel.We have a live well built right into the boat.We've had as much as 8000 pounds in ours....loose.Only had a couple hundred dead ones.That time we left Sunday night and I got home Saturday at midnight.Long haul.....
Holy crap! Surely you could spare a few pounds for your lobster lovin' sister in law? Trade you some shrimp! Ironically I'm in the shrimp capital and I'm not that crazy about shrimp. :(
