....to try fishing....
It was hot and humid but the guys hung out for a long time on the dock they were at. Finally we decided to go get something eat where we could sit down ... and get a wheelchair into. Oddly enough, one doesn't realize how hard a wheelchair is get in and out of places.
I thought I knew it...but until we experienced the difficulties, it wasn't obvious.
I spotted his stuffed fish and purchased it when I paid for the meal. I couldn't resist giving it to Rich to tell him that he could NOW say he caught a keeper.
The ol' coots just howled with laughter...
Steve took us the scenic route back home and I enjoyed just sitting in the back seat and watching out the window at the scenery and the clouds.
Storms were developing by the time we got home and Steve took off.
I hurried around the place and got the chores done and rearranged the porch so that nothing would blow around in the predicted winds.
Then I set up the cell phone on a tripod and thought I'd try a time lapse of the incoming storm.
I knew it was going to be bad storm by the way the mules reacted [which you can't see in the video]. They ran bucking to a corner of the pasture and huddled with their butts to the winds.
Looking back through my files and years of photos, I have more photos of my husband fishing than I have of him doing anything else.
I think Rich's fish-in-the-pocket look will start a new fashion trend!
ReplyDeleteRich has kept his sense of humor! As have you. I'm glad you're able to get him out now and then. I agree, surprising how many doors are too narrow, how many entry ways have a sneaky two inch step where you don't expect one.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad that I had to wait this long to realize just how hard it is to do a lot of activities from a wheelchair.
DeleteRich must really love and appreciate these fishing dates! Lori
ReplyDeleteHe does! It tires him out, but he really enjoys getting out more than ever now.
DeleteOh nice, a phone timelapse. One forgets about such things. I have done one and also one on the camera, maybe two.
ReplyDeleteYes, I forgot my camera could do it too. There is an option on the OM System to either take separate shots or it can merge it into a ready to see movie file. Pretty fun stuff!
DeleteYeah for a good day out! Cute keeper!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know the phone could do this, either. Rich caught himself a great fish!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great memorable fish story!!! Glad the fish outings continue, and are enjoyable for all of you. Nice job on the time lapse.
ReplyDeleteThese fishing photos are great and love the keeper humor. The cloud action is beautiful and the time laps video impressive for someone who has no idea how you did that.
ReplyDeleteLD...My dad loved to fish. He spent many days at ponds and lakes hoping for the big one.
