Happy anniversary! How many years? 20 married, 32 together Twelve years to decide? I thought I was bad putting mine through 6 years of basic training before pulling the trigger. Were you sampling the milk before you bought the cow, or was she sampling the pork before she bought the pig? Congrats man!

Happy anniversary! How many years? 20 married, 32 together Great story. Running around on the first wife can get expensive, and lead to a long time before shamefully admitting the infidelity, perceived or not. Just an expensive lesson in the rearview mirror, and making the lady in wait, keep waiting, at the time, before atoning for the sins. But you seemed to have recovered financially. Hopefully your children haven't held that against you. I'm sure you assigned blame to your benefit, no matter how inaccurate it was. High five!

Today - attended church, watched a little of the Bucs then some NASCAR before grandkids showed up to help me burn some yard debris. Fed them dinner, they left and we’re just relaxing.

Answered a few emails while waiting for the coffee to hit home hard enough to where I had the motivation to start up again on the Milton cleanup. One benefit to the slow caffeine response this morning was that we were still at our desks when a nice buck came down the road looking for does.....enjoying him ate up a good half hour.
Cleaned up where I'd been splitting wood.....and stacked what was split. Broke out the chainsaw, had a go at a couple of sections of firewood and then addressed a couple of small trees that had been blown over into the yard.
Washed the bear trap.
Fixed the pull rope on the farm lawnmower.....and than another rope on a pressure washer we picked up off the side of the road on Saturday. Honda engine....in good condition.....started on 2nd pull......lord do I appreciate the mechanically challenged!
Loaded up and headed towards Fruit Cove, stopping at 3 estate sales on the way up. Only score was a big pile of paper plates, napkins and party table cloths.....a BIG PILE....
Went and visited a 91 year old friend, where we had a glass of good wine, something we never spring for.
Pulled the traps on the dock.....had sushi.....and a Coors Lite......and then went to the garage where I disassembled a brass/bronze pool light set one of the neighbors had set out to the trash. A good ten pounds of brass/bronze, a little wire and some stainless.
Now.....a couple of Big Bang Theories as the eyes slam shut..............

Hopefully your children haven't held that against you. I'm sure you assigned blame to your benefit, no matter how inaccurate it was. High five! Actually stayed single for a couple years before we met. I'm monogamous and never liked the chase or the playing around. We didn't marry as we both had kids and didn't necessarily agree on raising them although we got along well with each other's kids. We maintained separate households and slept apart when we traveled with our kids. Our kids are all just "our" kids as are the grandkids. Not hers and mine. No infidelity's to admit in the first marriage. We just grew apart and went separate ways. Our kids stayed with me as much as they stayed with her.

Were you sampling the milk before you bought the cow, or was she sampling the pork before she bought the pig? Congrats man! Thanks. Oh yeah, we fooled around. Just not when the kids were with us. I had a big ol Caddy Sedan de ville '98. Spent a lot time in that car on date nights. Looking back, we both agree it was fun. Kinda like being teenagers again sneaking around.

Answered a few emails, read the news and then launched the boat, shrimp for a upcoming event at the farm being the quest.
Suffice to say.......6 hours of tossing the net for what ended up in the boat was kinda of a poor result.
Though, in this society lots of folks pay for exercise......and there's something about catching your own food that has value.....so....a win.

Forgot.....the shrimp picture.......... Kept about 11 pounds of the biggest ones. Probably tossed a equal number back because they were too small......and was using the 10ft 5/8 mesh, bumping it a good bit before closing it so a lot of the culling was done before they came over the side. Louann reculled them as we were freezing, about 2 dozen of the smallest now peeled and soaking in the lime!!
