i am taking one month vacation.  solo.  my wife is a covid nurse, so she cannot attend.

mixed bag of fun with a "hall pass" clutched in my hands.

my agenda is to fish.  i will hit up some of the Mother Lode lakes.  New Melones, Comanche, etc.  the Delta?  yup.  watching the winds and tides.  Clearlake and Berryessa?  sure, why not?

hopefully i can mix in a motorcycle camping trip/tour.

my friend bought a boat, so rockfishing April - i will stalk that guy with boat gas money in my pocket :) 

i already cleared a spot on the side of my house and installed a new and secure AND WIDER opening gate.  i dont think i will even put my kayak up.  just push it there and padlock it.  hose it down, and charge the batteries.

when i get back i will be tasked with moving a section of HWY 1 that keeps sliding into the ocean, about 200 yards to the east.  lots of work and stress.  life as i know and love will end. :(  (okay, i am being a drama queen)

Well aren't you lucky, at least you have a job to come back to.  There are a lot of people out there that have been on "vacation" for months.  HWY 1 project?  Enjoy living off tax dollars.

Sounds like a great trip!  Time to recharge and get some deserved R&R.

Of all the flavors to pick from, you chose to be salty.

Yeah WTF that was harsh. People on the other side of those slides have jobs to do, businesses to run, and lives to live too. Clearing slides & maintaining safe infrastructure is essential—and I’m glad to know good, qualified people like Vash are doing that work.
 
Anyways...Sounds like a great plan—I’d hit Don Pedro, New Melones, Berryessa first...then rockfish season opens down here on April 1. Hopefully salmon season opens April 10th too.

Excellent timing, starting to see a bunch of signs at the local lakes.  Turkey and deer are out, trees are starting to blossom, things are coming alive again, won’t be long.

I’m a delta rat so that’s where I’d be lol.

I'd be more inclined to delete SOMA's bitter little post.
