Hey - when do the bluefish run? Are they getting bigger again?
When I was last there, they were 24" max. Like fishing for small barracuda...
But I remember around 1980 there were fish you could pull in the size of LOGS

I wanted to share this with you:

Whilloughby Spit was one hell of a party town - and I loved it!
Best of all - the laundromat I liked, Greenies, and the gym I went to while my clothes were washing was all right there...

DROP THE CLOTHES!
Go to the GYM
Put stuff in the drier
GO TO THE GYM!!!!
Get the clothes...
GO TO GREENIES

They serve great food on the back deck... ALSO beer


Stuff stopped hurting after a while...


That was what I did while I was off-duty in Norfolk, mostly.

Other than build my first F100

I couldn't smoke pot - so what did that leave?


GET BIG
GET HAPPY
GO HOME

Nobody local wanted anything to do with me, because they could all get high!


('Struth)


I still met a few people - and one day I hope I can find them again-
BUT NOT AT A DISADVANTAGE!!!

Phil and Dave, Dave mostly. Dave could cook on a grill like no man I ever met

There are stories I can never forget, but cannot tell you

Also Ladies I couldn't be near - but can now

Happy Thursday, all!

Found out about a job opening in Altavista (30 minutes south of here) yesterday and gave the owner a call. It sounds VERY promising. Going by on my way down to Charlotte on Wednesday to meet with the owner and check out the shop.

Thanks, guys! It's an independent towing and tire shop. Lots of tires, alignments, brakes, etc. I'll have to get my state inspector's license, which i've wanted to do anyway. Overall, it sounds like a good job that pays pretty well. A bit of a drive, but it would be worth it.
