Glass and Fishes

Saturday was momentous. Not only did Greg ("The Guy") show up to replace the windows, but he was on time, he brought his near-stoic chocolate lab along, and the job went smoothly!

Clear glass! No moisture betwixt panes! It's magic, it's wondrous, it's... it's beautiful.

I've learned more about how my house works, how relatively easy it is to replace the glass in our windows, and just exactly how heavy double-pane 4'x5' windows are.

Sunday I went fishing on the St. Joe river in Idaho with my dad and his friend Tom. It was my first time seeing the St. Joe -- what a beautiful area, and what a beautiful river.

We caught over 20 trout in about four hours, mostly rainbow and a couple brown. Catch and release is a good thing, and with barb-less hooks, it's pretty easy to get them back in the water quickly.

Dad caught the first fish, the biggest fish (15 inches), and the most fish. Because of his bad knees and the terrain from the road to the riverside, he also made the most noise. And when he's fishing well, he spreads the love, making sure the rest of his party knows just how well he's doing.
