When the wife drags herself out of bed, we are heading West from Fort Worth. First stop in Albuquerque New Mexico to see an old friend and ex co worker of Wife’s. Then off to Vegas for a couple of days. Next to Seattle to see Granddaughter and 4 grandkids. Hop on a boat for an Alaska cruise $$$$. Then repeat back to Fort Worth. Our 4th vacation since marrying 30 to 40 years ago.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Have fun on your trip!

You should probably bring back some huge king salmon for your pond. grin

However, they might find the Texas heat a wee bit uncomfortable during the summer.
The good news is that they will certainly be too big for the cormorants to eat!

I hope Charlene is okay with "30 to 40 years ago". I'm in trouble if I'm off our anniversary by a day or two. shocked

Have a great time!

The King Salmon eat real good too, if they do find the Texas sun a bit too hot, they gonna shit when they hit the smoker!


All the really good ideas I've ever had came to me while I was milking a cow.

Try the halibut. Both days of summer are below zero and, as if things aren't bad enough as they are, cold makes everything contract. Bundle up.

Left Las Vegas this morning. Now in Logan Utah for the night. Amazing country with dang few people to clutter it up. Heading further North tomorrow.

Beautiful Mountain View’s.

Dave, my loss for not being on the forum for some time. We're only 4 hrs north of Albuquerque and would have invited you up.
And I disagree with your assessment of dang few people in Utah. I lived in Logan and graduated from USU many years ago. There are millions more people in Utah now, and I found it to be crowded way back then.
I'll always remember a quote from a grandpa asked by the newspaper's "Man on the Street" back then. When the ole codger Mormon was asked how he'd like to see Logan in the he future, he replied, "Sonny, I hope it stays just st the same so that my 65 grand children can enjoy it like I have."

Heck, 4C, I’m only seeing it from the paved roads and dodging towns whenever possible. I love it.

Now in a Seattle motel. Spent time with Grandkids and taking life easy. Catching a cruise boat Sunday for Alaska.

If you get a chance, eat at Ivar's on Pier 54.

Hey Dave, small world, Logan is just 8 miles from my place... I live out of town where we do have a little space and I sure enjoy it... Guess I'm one of the grandkids of the old kodger 5th generation since they settled here in the 1870's... Kind of like this area as well... but it does seem like it's getting too crowded, but after spending some time in Florida I know better than to complain about too crowded... Hope your trip has been enjoyable, I hear the silvers are running early this year, hope you had a chance to go catch one while you were there... Later J

Utah is a beautiful state.

I am getting eye strain looking at mountains. Having a blast on this 3 week trip just looking at scenery.

I have noticed that you would have to blink for a VERY long time to drive through Utah and miss it!
