Went fishing with my dad again. Not only was the weather fantastic, but this time we hit the mother load. The beast in the picture is 8,5kg. And there were 6 more where it came from.

That's a lot of big fish!  What are you going to do with them all?

What kind of fish is that? A smelly old woman keeps asking me. I keep telling her to stop reading over my shoulder.

Well some of it became Sunday dinner. Fillet wrapped in foil with onions, bell peppers and mushrooms cooked on the barbecue.
The rest was frozen for later consumption.

It was Friday when I posted. :grin:

On the cheerfulness gradient, Saturn's day is less because it comes before Sunday.   :-\

I support you taking cheer where you can but I think you are wrong, because you are wrong, so obviously wrong.

Friday is a day of toil, 5pm-ish Friday might be time for cheer but by then 70.8333% of the day is done.
Friday is best because you anticipate Saturday but Saturday is less because you anticipate Sunday?/Monday.
I could cure you of this by plying you with a diet wholesome root vegetables and legumes and a 168 hour chorus of Tibetan throat singing.  Won't be cheap though.

I prefer something less guttural, but I'll go with it. :chin:

How expensive are we talking here? A new hat?

Hmmmm, it would have to be a good one.
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

A Pudding top hat, by xSilverPhinxTM. I've also thrown in a walking stick for you to shake at passersby while yelling for them to get off your road. I...may have appropriated OldGit's walking stick, I'm not sure...I'm not telling. :grin:

The hat and the walking stick are not exactly drawn to scale, obviously. The walking stick would have to be much smaller in that picture.

I know where I'm going on my next vacation. That fishing looks fantastic.

You have a standing invitation to visit. ;)

But for boating I highly recommend coming during the summer half of the year.

Yum!  Is that type of fish good for smoking?

You can smoke just about any fish, but I prefer this type fresh.

My new knee has been installed. The doctor says surgery went well. All things considered, I feel pretty good.

That's great news, Velma.  :cheerleader:
From now on, are you going to 'beep' as you go through metal detectors?  ;D

Oh, that would be so cool if it were true!  Congrats on the surgery, Velma, sounds like things went very smoothly.
