    Birthday Presents

    Well, today I am eighteen with 40 years of experience. And as most of my family is 950 to 1700 miles away, I get to do my own celebrating and buy my own birthday gift. None of my kids or grandkids could afford anything I want anyway. So....... Thursday night at 6:00 p.m. I, and other members of various Chapters of the Old Farts Society will be leaving aboard The Pegasus out of Fisherman's Landing in San Diego on a 2.5 days trip to Mexican waters after the wily tunas and yellowtails. Hopefully this will be better than 2 weeks ago when we didn't get any tuna and just a few yellowtails.

    Since we haven't really had a tuna season for a couple of years, I decided to reward myself for being such a sterling example of graciousness and civility, by going on another charter 2 weeks later. I thought I might show you the one good catch from last trip, but first I have to resize the pics.
    Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me Liberty or give me death." Patrick Henry, Virginia House of Burgesses, March 23, 1775

    Quo Vadis?

    Luke 22:36, And he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
