Back Home, Briefly

Got all our fish, kicked Roger off the island and cleaned up a bit of our mess.  Took the trailer back to the Worsfold B&B/RV rental.
Bill finally got a much over due tractor to handle the snow.  Complete with rear tiller, front snow thrower and bucket with brush forks.  He is so ready for winter.
He is getting spoiled. Actually doing car repair under a roof, on pavement and not in the snow. What are the odds of having a set of new rotors sitting around the garage when the old ones go out?
We went to the KBBI (local public radio) annual concert on the grass. What a setting. On the hillside above downtown Homer, on the park grass with the mountains and glaciers for a backdrop.

We brought everything necessary to sustain life at a concert.

I had a great couple of days mellowing out after the usual rush to catch every fish in the river. Jake got back from a grueling week at a high altitude training camp, Annie elected not to submit herself to such torture.  I'll post their photos as soon as I get permission. The next day Bill chauffeured me back to Soldotna where Tony took over getting me out of town.  We couldn't have done it without Tony and Bill. Already working on next year.

Just got back from the airport with the three fishboxes but still await the suitcase.  If they have to delay any bags, better it is not the frozen ones.

Looks like tomorrow we leave for Baker City where grandpa gets to catch up with the Soden grand children.

No rest for those who must fish.

Stay cool!
