Frigid OAP

 Had a " Murderous Shift " ,

A Drunken Physco Beautiful off duty Sheriff Officer/ex Marine crossed paths with me where I had to restrain her.... OH, and she was Packing and had Hidden Pepper spray.... 

 Quite a Formidable Opponent   

A 21 y/o Suicidal Female decided to turn into a Rabid Badger in the Back of my Ambulance and it was

 " Roll on the Gurney" For a Code 3 ride for 2 miles.... One would think this would be fun   

 Chime that in with spitting Angry Young Drunks, urine soaked Bums, Death and all kinds of other Human debauchery for 2 days... 

 Yo Need Decompressing.... OAP to the Rescue....

 Thanks for the heads up Ariel Sea, Mike's bait and Oakland Bait Closed... East Bay Bait comes through...

 Hit the Launch to Find Limited Parking... Kool,

 Felt like being a Kid Again,

Ya Know, When ya have to get your chores done and then you can go and play with your friends..

 Don't know who was all out there, but about a 1/2 Dozen or so,

 A bit windy/cold and I forgot my Drive, so I stayed close to the launch in 5 to 10 fow...

 Marked a ton a fish and stayed till last out with the Sun going down and Temp droping....

 I think some more Huge Bat rays were caught and a 47" Dino, (Released)

 Great to be out there and chillin with the Gang,

And now, I'm ready to roll into a 4 Day with the last 2 days just a Horrid Memory,

 Well, Some of it Horrid,

 The Wrestling Match with the Drunken Beautiful Blond Off Duty Sherriff Officer will go in...

 " The Good File ".... 

 

 

 

OK we got the pics from OAP, now how 'bout the pics from work??? 

Thanks for the report!

Great pics, nothing like a day on the water to wash away some stress,,,,,and now I think I'll just try to visualize the wrestling match,,,,,

now how 'bout the pics from work???

That's a " No No"...

 Said too much as it is,  but it was a entertaining 2 days and felt like I wanted to share.... 

Great sunset shot after impressive choppy water-rider series, but I wanted a pic of the blond too!   

Glad you got out, Don.  Sounds like you deserved it for sure.   

water wasn't too bad...but the wind was a bit cold...felt like an idiot after arriving back home to 65 degrees, and water you could ski on...
Keith said, "looks beautiful here, why you going down there?" -- always trust the bait man.

I managed a personal best bat ray-- that made me to a loop-d-loop around chucke, and a couple of others that wanted to pretend they were sturgeon for a while

Yes , it looks like a chilly day when the suns is there and you are thinking, "where's the heat?".Good for for getting out. With conditions like that I tend to stay focused and kind of forget all the BS of everyday life. Nice pics. Thanks, Craig

Yikes!  Glad you got your serenity.

Glad you were able to go out kayak fishing after that encounter with the blond. I guess at least
your job isn't boring like mine. I hope my coworkers does not see that comment. BTW, nice
pictures.

Dude I was freezing! I wore my crappy dry pants that do not have the gaskets at the ankles. The chop and white caps were ok but the cold NW winds was brrrrrrrr. Going out today should be better.

the last shots are very warming......the first ones look like a plan B was in order.   

OK we got the pics from OAP, now how 'bout the pics from work??? 

Yeah, thanks for the report, where are the wrestling match photos? 

A Drunken Physco Beautiful off duty Sheriff Officer/ex Marine crossed paths with me where I had to restrain her.... OH, and she was Packing and had Hidden Pepper spray.... 

Hmmm...sounds like a fantasy I once had... 

Glad you could unwind and prep for your next week of work-related excitement!

I guess at least
your job isn't boring like mine.

 Copy... 

I tend to forget after 15 years of doing this how lucky I am to have the job that I do. Basically,

 I get to help others, no other higher calling, and in these times, to even have a Job is to be blessed....

 I'm just Amazed and Numbed how some people live their lives and the choices they make...

 It can take a toll if ya let it. Police, Firefighters, Extreme high rate of Substance Abuse, Divorce, Suicide,

 Not to say other professions and just dealing coworkers can't put ya in a Tail spin...

 What got to me yesterday was I haven't been out that much in almost 3 months due to a bunch of crap,

and that is just about where my attitude was going too... Crap...

 I got off yesterday and could feel a cloud coming over me...

 Finally pulled it together and got out there...

 Made a World of Difference.....

 I had forgotten how much this means to me, and not getting out on the Yak, was taking a Toll...

 So, I guess my long winded purpose of this post in the first place was to remind those who are logged

 in hard to their Grind...

 Make Time!!!!!  It's more important than you think....   

 Tight Lines Everyone!!!!

  And I Mean It!!!!!!     

Yup... it was cold and choppy out there, and much more like a typical day of sturgeon fishing in the bay.

I did hook-up twice.  I never saw the first fish.  It came unbuttoned after it charged my yak.  The second fish was a barely legal fish that I released.

It was a nice little thrill, but not as fun as wrestling with a beautiful drunk blonde.
