Don't. It could allways be worse. Ive had 7 broken ankles, carpel tunnel, torn rotator cuff, shattered my heel and punched it up into my ankle, 43 stitches in my head(lost 3 liters of blood), had my back crushed with 2000lbs+ of drywall, live on disability(which is not enough) The only thing that keeps me going is the fact I know I will go hunting and fishing again and I can come to this board. We love you man!!!

I hear you!

I work basically right on the delta and all week it is sun and mild winds.  :smt007 :smt006 Come the weekend when I am finally off it is either rain or gale force winds. :smt011 :smt012 :smt013 :smt010 :smt009

Originally I got into fishing to fish.

ok, i'll hold off for now. i sure hate to see low swells while i am in here working and cant take time off.

thanks for the moral support!

my co worker said that if i try and hang myself in the bathroom and the support broke, they would probably deduct it from my final paycheck!

whats up with that?

It could be worse....there could be a really hot bite that dies the day you launch in to huge swells and gale winds.

Move over and make room for one more I'm feeling the same way

Just when I get a brief reprieve from some other sh*t and it looks like I have about a two week window our nanny quits and shoots down any chance I have to get a whiff of salt h2o and salmon slime

If I get one opportunity to get out this year it won't matter if there's a hurricane

I was supposed to have a slow month at work. Today a new group started. We were supposed to have 15, guess how many showed up?

18.  :smt011    Thank you recruiting :smt013 :smt013

On top of that, my boss's dad passed away so I am left with more to do. Really sad story there. He had stopped breathing, the brother performed cpr, ambulance shows up and heads off to the hospital with him on life support. On the way, the ambulance is struck by a semi and gets rolled. I won't go in to details.

Ok, vent over. Back to work. I have 36 eyes staring at me.

Dear John.....instead of buying a glock and video taping yourself swinging a hammer.....see a therapist instead...it usually works out better for everyone that way  :smt002

try to make an appointment with Doug / Marmite....you might have better luck. I tried but he told me I need a "team" of scientists from NASA and another "back-up team of therapists to get me "cured"  :smt011 :smt009 :smt002

I'm working at the Bodega Marine Lab right now and everytime I walk by a window it hurts.  It's constant torture.  I don't even want to get up to go to the bathroom becuase I'll have to walk by a view of the ocean.  The only thing that helps is checking coastside to see that nobody is catching salmon today up here.

I think tomorrow I'm going to play hookie in the morning and grab some abs.

Actually they're catching a few at Dux and 4-5 miles west of HMB

That pretty much got the twitch started in me

I'm officially high and dry for at least 3 months but I know that wont agree with my constitution We'll see how the chief reacts when she gets home and sees I put the rack on my car

She'll probably start pulling wires from under the hood so I can't roll off toward the Pacific

-Brian G

i wish i was going diving but im doing garapatta with some friends early on saturday. i dont know how it will be condition wise but weve had it bad there before. i just hope the wind stays still. its been strong the last few days.

im just dreading the part about having to huff the gear down with a rope and then after all the fishing, pulling it all back up. ick!

if the swells come up and the wind too, i will make alternate plans and maybe just get gear ready for the channel islands spear trip next week.

i think this weekend, the way swells look, would be high times for diving cannery row, otter cove to coral street or even carmel stillwater, pescadero pt as well.

are you going to go out?
