Fishing!

My bride is on winter break from school. That means it’s time for honey-dos! And they have multiplied like an avalanche.

Tuesday we came home from Home Depot when I noticed that a piece of the wood frame around the upstairs bathroom window had some rot. I went up to fix it. It turns out the rot went through the frame, through the cedar siding behind it, through the plywood sheath, and very nearly through the 2×4 studs that support the wall.

This was an ugly discovery.

There was lots of decay.

The front of the house was torn apart.

Ken Klug and his crew showed up yesterday and performed some amazing surgery, ripping out all the decayed wood and repairing the damage. The drywall in the bathroom still needs to be replaced, but the house exterior looks better than new. It needs to be painted, this afternoon’s task.

The crew at work.

The bathroom as it currently stands.

The scene of the crime, ready for primer.

Inside I’ve been installing doors and fans, removing panelling, repairing ceilings, and other things that are not as much fun as fishing. The new panelling is supposed to get here today but won’t, so the end of the month of honey-dos is not yet in sight.

I got an email from my friend Dalen-

“I haven’t been fishing much because I can’t see NUTHIN!   In 2 feet of water I can’t see the end of my brush that’s at the end of my pole.  And, with rare exceptions, I don’t see much on the surface.  With the whopping 7 or 8 reds that I have caught, all but two (both tailers) I’ve caught up close to shore lines.

“I have not launched any place other than #5 and have gone south most of the time to high water and incredibly cloudy.”

Somewhere out there are some fish waiting to get caught.

And that is the Happy New Year Orlando No Fishing Report.

Life is great and I love my work!

Life is short- Go Fishing!
