BBQ Thighs & catch up

[ChuckO]

Have had to work harder than I like, my replacement at work isn’t measuring up. Was planned to fully retire 12/31/25, have agreed to stay on until 03/31/26

Built a car(boat)port, knowing it’s not in even ground. We got an inch of rain today, I’ve got 2 leaks to button up. I can live/fix that, the toon should be fine though the winter.

Hope all is well with my BBQ Brother/Sisters, I’m living the dream (when not working)

Picked up a couple trolling rods, gave them a go at 40’ deep. The Kokanee hit soft, but I didn’t hook up. I’m guessing I’ve got to get better at setting the release, because the rods loaded up beautifully in the down riggers. I’m thinking I need to incorporate side planners, which I have zero experience with.

The life of retirement has its challenges

Looks fantastic Chuck!! That full retirement will be here before you know it. I'm happy for you!

The food looks great!

"fishing...blah, blah, blah..fishing" - cool, whatever you say. J/K

The dream sounds pretty darn nice!

I've been training my replacement for 3 months with 3 more to go. If he's not ready at the end of the year,
don't know what else I can do. (I think he'll be just fine.) They got 43 years out of me - whatever's left is MINE.

Yea it looks like you should put some shims under there to take out the metal roof buckles.

That’s a cool ‘toonport you have there Chuck.
I need something similar.

Can you borrow or rent a laser for a couple hours?
A few simple tweaks and you’ll be set.

ChuckO you can't beat BBQ vortex /charcoal basket chicken thighs, they make the world go round.

If the drag is set to tight the fish sense something isn't right when they bite, loosen the drag and set the clicker.
Just my 2 cents not noting your setup.
