Dr,Abraham Low wrote a great book Peace over Power In the Family Domestic peace boils down to this. If it weren't for the issues of right or wrong domestic life would be serene and peaceful. Another great book of his Wisdom of Dr.Low,a $20 source But not to say I've perfected his teachings always the apprentice never the master Humor your best friend temper our worst enemy

One thing that makes me nervous is my friends living at the VA .Ive been visiting them for several years through many flu outbreaks.Sometimes they will stop visitation for a short time.Two years ago the flu seemed to stick around there but little quarantine. The last years I began advocating for my friends because of problems there.It cost my volunteer status but I still keep up the fight This year no visitors but my concern is staff bringing it in which is almost impossible to stop.Like all the nursing homes who have it now.even with no visitors. I know many of them and depending on family ability might do better at home If it was my parent or family I would take them home if they could. Once its starts it will be hard to stop.

My hat is off to all the brave healthcare workers who risk their lives helping sick people today.We think things are bad here just check out what the virus is doing in poor countries.My idea is to give another trillion for aiding these poor c ountries.In 1920 the second wave came which was much worse then covid 19.A Lot of it was poor countries suffered so much that the virus mutated into a awful bug. We can't afford to make the same mistake this time. Today sort of reminds me of my year in NAM,dont you think. Countdown the days ,remember.

nice dog,they sure are our best fishing buddies.I will miss mine this year.

Take any kings yet?Might give it a try tomorrowthinking of putting in my smaller boatfor awhile.

nice catch,do you uses ingle hooks instead of treble?

I fish solo often like you have difficulty getting a crew together at short notice. I have found if you get one close enough i usually grab the diver and net the fish I haven't had a break off yet as wire is tough to break if the fish has been played right Salmon are usually kept till limit then I go in if alone. I've also have 2 old eagle claw diver 10ft rods,got to over 30 yrs old still good only thing I put twilio tips on.I still can't get over how a rod can bend like they still hold up,probably well over a hundred fish each,USA made is why,lol

I've hunted the sodus area since the mid 70s.The past few years goldeye populations have plummeted from previous years. The only thing might be is contamination from zebra mussel .One day we drove east about 7 miles and found few ducks,little sightings ogg pultneyville also.Lots of geese but few if any ducks.Sodus had good shooting as the bay was froze out to the point.Today most of the bay is open with some south of grassy and third creek.Perch fishing was good in deep water.

A few ideas.How about finally bringing a trout and salmon stamp to help pay for improvements. Reuce lake trout stocking and replace with robust Atlantic stocking and habitat program. Many brown trout are dumped in our harbor every spring.Is there a better way to help reduce predators who take many of the fish Establish best practices how to release fish for maximum survival.Iread a article best way is slowly lower fish back down where caught using heavy weights Finally ad a rod to make it a four rods per person,.LOL

lots of pics this year

Caught this nice brown off my dock

Here is the latest from Washington.Seems the shippers are calling the shots to the detriment of landowners. https://www.schumer.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/with-lake-ontario-levels-1-foot-over-seasonal-average-schumer-urges-st-lawrence-seaway-to-deter-threat-of-a-3rd-year-of-historic-flooding-including-raising-moses-saunders-dam-outflows-

i had some good action this afternoon trolling for browns.They seem to like spring favorites black and orange silver nk and wonderbread.5 ft down over 15 water temp was 52 degrees.Tomorrow looks decent also.no rain and light winds.
