Jim’s brother flew in from TX yesterday and they had big plans to go fly-fishing today. First time for both with books, no guide. John spent a few hours studying and tying knots last night, after we managed the mix-ups at the rental place.
We packed much last night, leaving it to them to finish this morning (packing water in the cooler…) while I made them breakfast to eat in and lunch to eat out. Buying that ham last week and freezing it was a lifesaver!
I took a couple of photos, John knot-tying and Jim this morning with his fishing license but they have the camera with them (and binoculars), in case they see elk or moose or other critters up there. They’re headed to the Uinta mountains at about 10,000 feet above sea level.
No word yet and they’ve been gone over four hours so I hope things are going well. Luckily they had to check in with a Ranger to get up there and John’s the outdoorsman/hunter so as long as my Jim remembers to put on sunscreen, he’ll be OK.
This morning around 6:30 I made them a hearty breakfast of fried eggs, toast and organic maple/sage breakfast sausage, which all disappeared quickly and sent them on their way, luckily snagging the garage clicker and my only key to the Honda (he took my car) as they were backing out of the garage.
Hopefully I’ll be able to download some photos tonight, folks! After cleaning up from breakfast and their lunch, and fixing up the house after them, I’m about ready for a nap! Cheers! Dee
