Dad is 91 today... and is now on the river with C fish'n for salmon. (I didn't get to go this time due to a repairman coming to the house, damn it.) C and I loaded up Ol Ugly and away they went. Thank goodness C got back from DC in time to take Dad.
Happy Birthday, Catch a big one Dad!

They got back in one piece, but no fish. Dad enjoys C so much that he seemed okay with that. After dad had headed inside for his chair, C and I put the cover back on ol Ugly and had a little pow wow about Dad's fishing. Result, I've gotten Dad a guided fishing boat trip for next week, and hopefully that will end his dry spell.
Thank you all for the great birthday wishes for Dad, I will be sure to pass them on to him!
Careful Brighid, He might catch you a toyboy!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for a salmon catching birthday to that 91 years young man!
You know that if they limit out, you'll be cursed as a Jonah forever.
ReplyDeleteWhat about C? If D isn't working out, you can always go backwards in the alphabet. It would be a great birthday present to a 91 year old man (happy birthday Brighid's Dad!)
GRANNYMAR: I will pass on your birthday wishes to Dad, thanks.
ReplyDeleteLL: That thought had crossed my mind, but at this point I just want him to catch one.
C is a happily married southern gentleman, with a power wife.
Thanks for the BD wishes to Dad.
Happy Birthday Dad!
ReplyDeleteODIE: Thanks, I'll tell him!
ReplyDeleteAny news from the river? Has Old Ugly sprung a leak? Has Dad landed two dozen salmon for his birthday? What?
ReplyDelete91! That's awesome. And with a great mustache and walking stick to boot! Hope the fishing went well! I like that he's so determined.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your Dad and hope he comes home with a whopper--fish or tale.
ReplyDeleteGet on those fish! (per LL) and happy birthday to your Dad.
