R.I.P. and may the sunshine and fair winds be yours brother bp

You have sea fishing which we do not but mostly the same. I love walleye, perch, brim and crappie, then trout. I love fly fishing and to tie my own flies in the field is the sport if champions, then fishing with Dupont lures never fails unless you're indoors. I'll shut up now

Needless to say I haven't been able to locate any Dupont lures so I reckon dynamite is out of the question here in Ohio. Time to break the fly rods and float tube out and hit the stone quarry. I'll shut up now

Howdy y'all, just checking in... I'm still upright but struggling. I have a few pics to share. I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I like taking them.

It's a sad situation when poor veterans can't afford the help needed where they are. We have 6 dispensaries in Ohio and the meds most certainly can't be for real patients. The cost of a rec is 300$, 50$ for your state card and your meds are costing you 460$ an ounce. And there's only bud to be had for now. I can only imagine what the oils and tincs will cost the poor and sick patient here in Ohio. I wonder what other states are charging their sick. I'm waiting to hear back from one doctor who's office is 3 hrs away. I want to find other advocates here so we can fight for affordable meds and recs for real patients and veteran's use of medical cannabis. So if you know any information this old man would appreciate the help. i'll shut up now. big papa

the hawk above came to visit us and landed in the tree next to the house until i got his picture

i was coming home when we saw the first, then when i got to the house i got a picture of 3. i went to get my nikon to get close ups and they were gone. We live next to lake st marys which is 6x11 1/2 miles and we have many preditory birds that live all around us. Perigon falcons, red tail hawks, cooper hawks, owls and bald eagles and golden eagles. i can't believe they're still here with as cold as it's been. Lots of hummingbirds too. i love where we live on a street across from the lake that most don't even know exists. Moww's only 10 minutes from work and i have my little bit of country. We're surrounded by state land and those who live here are very nice. i'll shut up now

Then 3

Three young eagles live in the woods across the road from us. First there was 1 and I went in the grab my phone then there were 3. I let my cousin use my SD card for my camera in his trail cam. This is the best I could do.

i love making these wire trees too. i was at the cardiac institute and saw some in glass cases and i thought... "i can do that" so i did. And i've made many since, donated a few to cancer patient's silent auctions

thank you

. On closing... EK, I truly appreciate you brother for your love and support. I'll check in from time to time or maybe i'll get off all these social media sites, maybe it's best and will let you know if and when you can delete my account. I'm no longer in the NW and folks just don't care about those outside the NW territory... I am Marine Recon and a survivor. God bless you my dear friend. i'll shut up now. Stuck and forgotten in Ohio... big papa

anybody home? y'all have a blessed Thanksgiving and life. Reckon i'm on my own. i'll shut up now. peace out, big papa
