Well I think I have the best "work from home" office this week. I love sitting on the screen porch while I work. Wife and I got out on the charter boat yesterday. The bite was slow but we didn't get skunked like 75% of the fleet did. I ended up reeling in a 10lb Black Fin Tuna. Wife hooked into a decent size false albacore and it fought like hell. She ended up tapping out and I had to finish pulling it in. Somehow it got the line wrapped around its tail and that was a motherfu*#er to pull in. Between that 10lb Tuna and the False Albacore I was ready to cry uncle! That is no joke! Mad props to those guys pulling in 155lb big eye tuna's and such. Since the trolling bite was slow we did a little bottom fishing and caught our limit of tilefish. 400 feet down with a 4 lb weight to keep it on the bottom. Caught two on the line at a time the first two casts. then finished up with one more each. We ate good last night! My buddy and I decided to head out to the beach at high tide and spin a little flaming steel wool for some fun photos. So far a really fun trip.

You're exactly right. New gun restrictions / laws will have NO impact on the scumbags that want to do people harm. Criminals don't give a rats ass about laws of any kind. All gun laws do is give some people a false sense of security and have absolutely no impact. Gun grabbers will never go door to door in the US to confiscate guns.....they will have a rude awakening if that happens in this country.

Thanks @Biotech I'll save the thong pics for later

it rained almost the entire way down here. Sun came out after we arrived and it turned out to be a nice afternoon. We spent about 2 hours cleaning up sand from the storm last week. There was almost 6" of sand underneath the house (where we park) and a couple of inches on the deck and screened in porch. Finally got the drone out a few minutes before sunset last night to take a look around. The storm last week took its toll on the dunes and washed a couple of houses out to sea down in Rodanthe a few miles south of here. In the picture and video you can see the Bodie Island Lighthouse and the Basnight Bridge that goes over Oregon Inlet. Nags Head 720p.mp4

Wife and I are headed to the Outer Banks of NC for a week. We have a mid-week offshore charter to ourselves. Praying for tight lines! Will send pics of the ones that don't get away.....

You taking orders?

Such sad news, very sorry to hear this. May he rest in peace.

You know it's going to be an interesting week when you log into your corporate all-hands town hall meeting and your name shows up in the ZOOM window as SGT_Smeg Curses Loasis! Curses!

Welcome! My wife was also born on May 5th....although perhaps a few years before yours!

My brother lives in Winter Park and sent these to me earlier this morning. Would love to see a launch. Every time I am down there to watch one it gets postponed 2 or 3 times LOL

No tomato beats a good vine ripened tomato. Most of the stuff bought at the grocery store is picked green and ripened with Ethylene gas. They are pretty much tasteless

Sweet! What is it?

I have the goggles and tried them one time. It's a very different feeling flying when using them and you really MUST have a spotter! I feel very unsure about them because of the things you cannot see. I have not used them since and will likely unload them.

Heck yes! Very nice @WeednFeed! Now if it would just warm up a bit!!!

I have a DJI Mavic but don't fly all that often. I need to get my Part 107 so I can use it commercially with my photography business

@LtLaszlo what was the name of the clan we were members of many moons ago....before XI? You, Ayaq and I...and I forgot the other guy you used to work with. Been playing this silly game an awfully long time!

Unfortunately October is not going to work for my wife and I.

My wife and I would love to do the loop someday. Whether we will or not depends on a lot of thing. Mostly $$$ Our good friends favorite place to boat was along the canals in NY State with all the locks. Looks beautiful!

Agree 100% we live for boating season!!

Funny, that is EXACTLY what my wife says!

Beautiful fish!

Hey @THE MEEK we finally got out on the water yesterday! Are you close, or is everything still frozen up there? I'm not going to ask @Primetime it never freezes in Florida.

I care as much about this as I did about the slap heard around the world.... They can all suck it

Whew I was worried that @Timmah! created this post...that's why it took so long for me to click on it...
