another summer down

i haven't posted anything for a long time. i haven't been busy, just slothful. it was a long hot summer, we had the hottest temperatures in recorded history due to something called a heat dome and that  contributed to my slothful ways but i did accomplish one thing; lots of fish!

the weather did not co-operate so the final product is not top notch. it will be a few months until the final judgement is in but i'm not very optimistic.  we had a very wet spring which got things off to a slow start followed by a super hot summer which helped but the fall weather was abysmal and that is what sunk the ship. the final few weeks are crucial for high grade fish and we had rain followed by more rain and that was followed by more rain. not only did the rain hamper development of the magic ingredient, it  resulted in some moldy flowers.

here are the fruits of my labor.  there is also a tub of trim which will used for baked goodies.

one of the reasons for my absence is my inability to remember the basics of blogger and that ties in with my slothful ways. i just don't have the energy or interest to figure out the latest curve balls from google.
