Andrew I noted that one of your interest is fly fishing. The San Juan river (NM)not too far north is reputed to be a good place for fly fishing. Can't speak from personal experience.

I couldn't resist posting this picture of Carl and I from about 1950. Carl is the cute one. I will probably catch heck from Carl but what can he do. You can't divorce your brother!

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
Its good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

Strange how much all of us engravers have in common, not only the hear and music and other interests....
It is of course my point of view, but we are not boring :D

Hey Sam,

Looks like your mom has you pretty well strapped down.You must have been an adventursome lad. That look on your face reveals that you must have seen someone with a beautifully engraved blunderbus just going by. Had they invented those yet??

I think my transportation back then was a little red wagon.

Ron, I was sure you could tell by the look on my face I was getting ready to say something profound...when I learned how!

I was a bit adventuresome...here is my first "rod". TOS

Sam: That jitney looks like it is straight out of the "Our Gang" comedy. Were you by any chance Alfalfa?

Monk: You were a lean, mean, deck swabbin' machine back in the day!

This was me in 1973 with my 1963 Gibson SG custom. I still love playing.
