...and I seem to have a lot of it these days

Well friends, it seems the trout aren't biting right now, so I get a call from my buddy Matt who needs a helping hand doing a natural stone patio for a wealthy client's beach house out on Hood Canal.

Every stone is hand-fitted and hand-laid.

Mostly all I did was mix and shovel mortar, but I am proud to say that half of the stone fitting is my work.

I think I missed my calling

 

Beautiful job Woof, well done indeed. Now if you have the funds for a trip round the other side of the world, we have a lot of stonework required to be done here!

I love working with stone - just for the effect you have shown. It looks like it is part of the earth.

Cheers, SB

 

Nice job there Woof.
All sorts of opportunities will arise - it's amazing what we are all capable of if the need arises.

And as for the fish not biting - there's always the Irish method of getting dinner.
















Dump a hand grenade in the pool.
Don't even need bait
Results are immediate ..................................
Sometimes the need for dinner has to outweigh the sporting aspect of fishing. LoL

 

Hey, Thanks for the compliments.

This little gig gets me outdoors and though it can be hellishly physical, it's rewarding and ain't a bad way to "earn a crust", as Shadow would put it.

Would love to set myself up in a new career that involves lifting nothing heavier than a coffee cup and not play in fish guts that are not of my own doing. Oh well, C'est la Vie

Onto a new stone job. Pics to follow.

...and thank you all for your support

 

Very nice stonework Woof - great looking in fact.

As for fishing there's always the Seth Effrican method
where most of the skill has to do with the size of the bait
being used

 

Either one of the above methods would land me on no less than a half dozen Governmental watch lists.

Including a no-fly.

I mean, despite the present circumstances, I'd still like to able to at least dream of IOMTT 2014

 

Love your work Sprock

I'm so looking forward to the comeback on this one!!

Calling Shadow to the Bat Phone...............

Cheers, SB

 

I second that!

Even without a gavel to wield, I declare the topic open for discussion.

The aforementioned parties will have two posts each to declare their positions.

Then it will be up to public judgement to settle this debate.

Final arbitration will thus then shall be made final and complete.

Unless the party from New Zealand declares otherwise
