Good morning crew! Another soggy morning... the boat was hooked up last night with intentions of heading out this morning but the weather has other ideas. It looks like I'd only get a couple hour window and then we're supposed to get storms. Argh....
If I stay home, it'll all go around us.. if I go, it'll come early!! Just this guy's luck. Since its hooked up, I just may play hookie tomorrow. The forecast is clear and my schedule is flexible.

I got most of my concrete floor grinding done yesterday. Maybe I'll dabble with some flooring today and see if I can make the Wifey happy??

DEVOTION #63 “ELIMINATING WORRY”
Greetings and Happy Lord’s Day to
all Fishing Stagers and guests.

Most of you are probably familiar with a fictional character named Alfred E. Newman. If not, his picture may refresh your memory.
(See below)

His signature line was always:
“WHAT, ME WORRY?

I’m not really sure how Alfred dealt with his worries, but according to medical science, worry in REAL people can cause any number of physical ailments, such as anxiety, blood pressure issues, weight loss, headaches, diarrhea, ulcers, constipation, fatigue, and even cancer! I actually believe that NOTHING GOOD can come from worrying.
That’s probably why the Bible (God’s Word) teaches us NOT to worry, over and over again. It also tells us what to do, instead of worrying.
The clearest example of this is probably in the Apostle Paul’s letter to the church in Philippi, where he says:
”Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.“
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Another example is in the Sermon on The Mount, where Jesus, Himself, told His followers:

“So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today..”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭34‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The Psalmist, David, made this proclamation:
”The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.“
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

About 650 years before Paul wrote to the Philippians (above), the Old Testament prophet, Jeremiah, was saying basically the same thing.
What a confirmation of a 650-year-old prophetic message!

”For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.“
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29‬:‭11‬-‭13‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I guess what I’m trying to say is, we can let God take all our worries and burdens - He wants to carry them for us, just like Jesus did with our sins, when He took all of them to the cross of Calvary for us. Why should we worry ourselves sick, when we really don’t have to, and it doesn’t make anything better anyway. Just give it to God!

I must confess - I am nowhere near worry-free yet, but I am sure working on it, with God’s help, and with the help of this 7-year-old message I watched on TV (TBN) Thursday, by Pastor Allen Jackson.
I hope it blesses you all as much as it has blessed me. 🙏🏻

(and it’s ONLY 27-1/2 minutes long)

With school and other activities, unsettled weather, it's been hard to find a time my fishing buddy could go. Here is the biggest of the day. Caught a bunch between 10 and 12 inches, 5 decent crappies, a few bluegill, all on bass lures.


Good job, buddy!

Good morning Looney Toons!

It's awful soggy out there... we have an all day rain today. I got up with the intention of going to a local lake today, but the weather just looks YUCK! Its 59° now and raining with an expected high of.. yep 59° and more rain... Tomorrow's forecast looks a tiny bit better. I guess I'll see...

Sooo.. I'll probably just stay home and work inside the house. I had a diamond grinder arrive to dress some high spots in the concrete floor. I'll probably work with that today so we can get closer to installing the flooring.

Good Friday morning folks. TGIF! It feels like it's been a long week. 😓

58° now and heading for 81° again today. It looks like rain will move in again this evening and be with us through Tuesday.

I managed to get 1 new AC fired up yesterday around noon. I worked on another and should be able to have it running by early afternoon.. fingers crossed... 🤞

What It Means

The teacher heard Little Johnny use some serious language and was shocked. “Little Johnny, don’t you ever use language like that again, not near me, not ever. Where on earth did you learn that?”

“I got it from my dad, Miss,” replies Johnny.

“Well, your daddy should be ashamed. I hope you don’t know what all that even means?”

“Oh but I do,” says Johnny. “It means the car won’t start.”

🤪🤣

Have a great day folks!!

Tahoe fishin East Fork Carson River
saw1 wrote:
Hey guys went out fishin today. Little cold to start but it warmed up to be a pretty day.
Started off in the West Fork Carson but didn't have any luck. Caught 1 little native rainbow bout 7 inches long and released it. I tried several of the usual spots but couldn't find any fish.
Decided to just go on over to the East Fork on the other side of Markleeville.
First hole I tried I hooked into a nice one, The river flow was goin pretty good but runnin clear and not TOO high.
I fought it for maybe 5 or 6 min and then was able to get it on shore. Was about 18 inches and 2 1/2 pounds.
I rebaited and retied the hook, good thing cause I broke the hook gettin it out.
About 15 min after I landed the first one I was back in the water.
It took me a few min to get another bite but it was a HEAVY fish and it was stayin out in the fast water and was deep.
It took me bout 15 to 20 min to land it and I really didn't think my 6# line was goin to hold pullin it up on shore, but it did. It was 25 inches and bout 5 pounds. Looked the size of a small salmon or decent steelhead.
Fished there a little more but only got 1 more bite and it wouldn't bite again.
Moved on to a few other holes and only had another small native hit but it came off so I left. Didn't want to catch it and possible have it die so I went to another couple holes.
The last hole is the hole I wanted to start at but a survey crew was workin there so I didn't stop.
They were still there when I came back through but I stopped anyway and pulled 2 more fish out of that hole. One was just a decent keeper but the other one was bout 17+ inches and bout 2 pounds.
I had to pull them up through a whitewater shute to get them to me and I really didn't think the big one was gonna stay on but it did.
I decided to call it a day after that. I didn't need to try for a 5th one. Those 4 were plenty.
I tried to fillet the big 25 incher and it was nearly a total disaster.
Was nothin like the Stripers I fillet all the time.
I decided that I wouldn't do that again.
I wanted to take some pics of all the snow still on the mountains and of the river, BUT, I left my ph at the house so no pics till I got home.

Good morning folks, its Thirsty Thursday once again! 🍺 🍻

What a beautiful day ahead. It's 60° now and looking to reach 80° and sunshine. These are the days we've been waiting for!

While I should be playing hookie and going fishing today, I'll be hanging on a ladder running refrigerant linesets and wiring condensing units.. Yippee!!

Memories

Three elderly ladies sit in a diner, discussing their health. One lady says, "You know, I'm getting really forgetful. This morning, I was standing at the top of the stairs, and I couldn't remember whether I had just come up or was about to go down."

The second lady says, "You think that's bad? The other day, I was sitting on the edge of my bed, and I couldn't remember whether I was going to sleep or had just woken up!"

The third lady smiles smugly. "Well, my memory is just as good as it's always been, knock on wood," she says as she raps on the table. Then with a startled look on her face, she asks, "Who's there?"

Have a great day folks!! 🍻
