Fishing before the rain

The forecast was rain and thunderstorms for the day. It looked like we might be able to have an hour of fishing before the rain came, so our Buckeye Veterans Fly Fishing group had a plan.

The forecast must have scared off a few, because it was only two of us fishing. In that hour, we must have caught 12 to 15 blue gills and one big bass got away.

The thunder was getting closer, and drops were on the pond surface as we quickly headed back to the cars. The walk was long enough for both of to get a little soaked, as the rain intensified. Once in the cars, the heavy rain definitely moved in, but we were safe.

We said our goodbyes and headed to our respective homes.

See you on the water.

July 4th Celebration

For the 4th, I decided to fly my Betsy Ross Flag.

Later, the neighborhood exploded with fireworks, and we watched from our patio.

See you on the highway.

Visit to Mustang Journey

It has been awhile, bur arranged to visit Mustang Journey to see my friend Troy and see the current herd. Hot and humid, the horses were pretty lethargic, as was I. Currently, Mustang Journey has seven mustangs and one domestic horse used for their riding program.

This is Roxie. Her mustang brand identifies her from Nevada. She’s a Nevada girl.

Mustang Journey adopts mustangs, gentles them, prepares them for adoption out to owners who are ready to own a mustang and ready to ride. They do this all with the help of volunteers and Veterans who are interested in equine therapy. The draw of the mustangs has been intrumental in the programs growth. They are not just horses, they are mustangs!

Previously, I had some work with Charlotte. I was a part time volunteer a couple of years ago, and I was cleaning out her stall. She gave me a touch and then she pressed her muzzle against my cheek! I was in heaven. She was probablyi just getting a scratch against my beard. LOL!

It was great to visit Mustang Journey. I’ll be back.

See you on the highway.
