“Moon River- taken quite a while…”

Ok, so I know that isn’t how the song goes OK? But…the new “MOON RIVER” suite is completed! FINALLY! There were some changes to the original plan; we did not put a whirlpool tub in due to maintenance and health concerns (plus the fact that we will eventually put a ...

Success doesn’t spoil everyone…

Ok, now that I have your attention… I have MC’d the Floyd County 4th of July Celebration for the Merchants and Businessmens Association for the past 3 years and was asked to coordinate the event this year. While sitting here, racking my brain for inspiration on how to make the event ...

Great fishing with the Shuler family!

Sunday and Monday I had the great pleasure of fishing with the Shuler family- Father and son on the New River on Sunday and the whole family down at the trout stream on Monday. Among the great fish caught was the monster Rainbow Trout landed by Holiday- a 25″ Citation! To ...

The skunkless streak continues!

I had my first two trips of the season yesterday and today and happily continue the ’skunkless’ streak with two nice smallies yesterday and three nice ones today. I know that one day I will be skunked, but so far I am continuing last year’s completely skunkless record into 2008!

The Meadowood Highway

Finally after searching longer than I want to admit to get someone to come in and fix the driveway properly, it is done! Previous to our owning the Meadowood, the driveway had at one time been paved in asphalt. When it started to deteriorate, instead of having it ripped up or ...

Heh, heh, heh…. OOOPS!

I wrote yesterday that it was supposed to be ‘drier’… then about an hour later it started to hail…then snow…the weather site caught on quickly and updated to say that it was raining. Must be nice to be able to be wrong not only in your predictions but in your ...

Insert cheesy title here.

I’m cheesed out; no cheesy title to this one. The weather today is drier but windy. Tomorrow should be nice here and although I won’t curse the rain- we need it- we also need some nice weather to make it truly March. We’re on that uphill roller coaster now; a ...

Hey, wait just a danged minute!!!

I got to thinking about the ‘great’ work they did on the driveway and it occurs to me that they actually cost us money! See, land around here is running at about $10,000 per acre and before I had them fix the driveway I would gain about a quarter acre ...

When it rains, it (down)pours!

Wow, what a storm we had yesterday! I’ve never seen it rain that hard here for so long. The river was running at 1500 feet per second yesterday and is up above 5000 cubic feet per second now! Hopefully it will recover in time for Saturday; I’d hate to have ...

And so it begins…

Wow- the other day I posted about dates disappearing fast for March, April and May and I wasn’t kidding- 4 more trips booked today alone! If you are thinking about getting up here for walleye and smallie season, get your dates booked soon! We still have at least one more fishing ...
