Three Dollars and Time well Spent
I am a simple man and I require very little to be content. I was on a mission yesterday afternoon but first I needed to locate three dollars cash. Not wanting to use a Debit card for Red Wigglers I scrounged around two vehicles and various and sundry other places and finally came up with my grub stake. I then headed up the road, purchased some worms and spent a bit of time catching a few Bream and Shad for bait.
Due to my current Facebook addiction Max and I were unable to leave the dock until 6:00AM this morning. But soon we were around the bend and I had three lines out. I had had some action out from a big sign in the past and as were floated that area my left rod went down and the large hulk of a canoe quickly turned to starboard!
As I took the photo with my right hand while holding the rod with my left I realized that it was only 6:20! Wow! That was fast! I netted the fish, bagged it and began drifting once again. An hour went by and no more action. Two hours passed without another nibble. Max began to get warm and finally went below deck.
I read a bit and captured a few pretty good photos and reflected on my life as I often do at times like this.
By 9:15 both Max and I were getting warm and restless so we paddled back up our beloved Crooked Creek and made our way home. As I prepared the fillets for the freezer and remembered the sunrise and scenes of the morning I was pleased. $3 and about four hours had been deducted from my life’s account but for my money it was Three Dollars and Time well Spent.
