Happy Independence Day!

Today my wife and I took our new canoe out for a spin. Went bass fishing:

Caught him on a chartruese and white spinnerbait.

We paddled around. Drank beers. Ate a sub sandwich. Smoked cigars. Fun in the sun, with no radio, or tv, or anything.

Got back a little while ago. We've got the Giants-Dbacks on TV with the sound down, listening to some bluegrass tunes (Russ Barenberg, Jerry Douglas, Edgar Meyer.) In a minute I'll throw some steak on the grill. Later on we'll go outside and shoot off some cheap fireworks.

This is a freaking GLORIOUS country. I can't possibly love it any more than I already do. I hope everyone is having a great time.

Huck, one thing I am thankful for this year is that you are okay.

I was going to skip this thread but now I'm glad I didn't...

The only thing wrong with that picture is that you are holding the bass, not me...

Your wife must be the perfect outdoor companion (We paddled around. Drank beers. Ate a sub sandwich. Smoked cigars)

Happy Fourth to ya from across the pond...
