I don't know. I think Ray had something to do with it.

snow is gone in montana. whats the issue with you guys.

old men complain about the weather and their health issues.

Cool here by the Ocean but no snow. Have had a very cool spring so far. Wind, rain, waves, fog, and still a few boats getting in the last of the crabbing season. A few rat-brained tourists pulling huge trailers and a smattering of over-enthusiastic bicycle couples are starting to pollute the coast. Nothing but more and more will come down the pike as summer approaches, ruining the place with their foul presence.

The weather sucked today, and I had a seizure while sitting in my car. Fortunately, I wasn't driving.

Hail seizures! That sounds a little scary, John Cole. I would have that checked out. Here's to good weather and good health going forward.

No Sox game yesterday for the first time since '84. As if the BM wasn't tough enough! Huge respect to everyone who ran in that ****.

no sports talk allowed this thread is only about the weather in johns area.

Of all the areas I've lived and visited, no area is more miserable than a tourist trap.

It's been getting down the 40s over night. I truly don't recall a winter this long and cold in LA.

i only try to live in tourist areas. thats where the good restaurants are. smart people are there. little poverty and much less crime. and usually good weather comparably and many fun outdoor things to do.

zeno doesnt quite live in a tourist area although many go by . but if there were no tourists to make him miserable than he would indeed be miserable.

Tourists attract crime, by being disoriented and carrying more valuables, so how does that work?

Agreed, plus touristy food sucks. I'm not sure if Ray was being sarcastic or not, but I'm with Dave here.

i am serious. but im not talking disneyland or vegas. i mean small ski towns and beach towns. and the like.

they have virtually no crime other than some petty things.

Except for the minor overflow of pin-headed Californians, where I live is a paradise. And most tourists are blowing through, headed up the coast to where Ray lives. At most they stop to gawk and take a pic to post on facebook, or take a short walk on the beach, or take a piss, or have bite to eat, then they go. Only people that hang around for long are fishing nuts that come in the fall for salmon fishing. Crime is mostly all petty and/or minor drug related shenanigans. The vagabonds hang about during the summer up and down the coast but most are harmless, lost souls.

Worse crime in recent memory was a middle-age son that stuffed his dead father (died of natural causes) under his trailer to hide him, so he could continue to collect his dad’s social security checks. When the stench got too much neighbors complained and he was found out. That’s rural life in my neck of the woods and all very normal and expected behavior. And that’s the way the world goes round. So says John Prine.

A cold wind is blowing.

when the cold wind blows the lone wolf dies but the pack survives.

put that in your pipe and smoke it.

hey zeno they stocked 3000 trout in your lake by you. and 200 trophy sized trout.
better go get them on a day the water warms up a little.

here in montana there is a pond a few miles from my house they stock well with bigger fish. lts catch and release except one for a kid. last week i had a 8 pounder up to the shore before he broke my 6x.
that day i caught 25, 12 to 18 inches on small nymphs and some drys.

oh, btw, happy earth day today you wasteful slobs of the world out there.

Stupid question, I know, but how do you work a nymph in a pond?

Nymph. ... Different from other goddesses, nymphs are generally regarded as divine spirits who animate nature, and are usually depicted as beautiful, young nubile maidens who love to dance and sing; their amorous freedom sets them apart from the restricted and chaste wives and daughters of the Greek polis.


Working her in the pond is the easy part; catching the naughty beauties is the difficult first step. But since you have a serious question, you bait the nymph on a large hook and work the nymph up and down near the bottom of the pond. This attracts the larger fish because beautiful nymphs are irresistible.

If you are referring to nymphs as the larval stage of some insects, then you obviously know little about proper fly-fishing techniques. Back to the books for you.

Vacuuming up a seasons worth of gunk from the pool today. I think someone stocked it with brown trout.

Since NhlNut is cleaning his pool and I grilled up T-bone steaks for dinner on a beautiful sunny afternoon, we are obviously nearing the Summertime thread. Want to give John a heads up so he is ready to pounce on Summer as soon as possible. No waffling and sniveling this time, John!

We are not yet nearing a summertime thread. So, this has been my week. Two seizures on Monday. First in the morning, and I was released to my daughter's care. That night I had a second seizure, so hauled off to hospital a second time that day. Then transferred to another hospital for a heart catherization. Apparently, I'm fine, but having two viruses at the same time caused some problems. Finally realeased from hospital on Thursday, again to the care of my daughter. Fortunately, the kids don't seem to mind. Now I just have to figure out how to work without being able to drive for six months.

Hope everything is okay John, sounds scary. Stay well!

John:

1) Glad you're okay
2) Why can't you drive for 6 months?
3) Why would a virus cause you to have seizures, and what does that have to do with your heart?

Get well John.
