Fishing season is very short around here, and getting the green light to wet a line comes with a price. I love fishing, but a happy wife is tops on my list. It's no secret, just a bit of yardwork and home maintenance does the trick... Happy wife, happy life !!
Ted, your home & property is absolutely beautiful. Now it's "Alby Time". My cupboard is bare. ;D ;D Rudy
Ted gets an "A" for balance and design. Dominick
Looks like Dr.Seuss had some input there .????
Yep, No doubt about it Ted, that's a credit to you right there...

Bet the only place you get those is at
The
WHO-VILLE NURSERY
Those are cool looking trees, kind of yard art Next level topiary for sure. Very creative. I'm thinking Douglas fir? They sure look healthy
Love how you kept the mower lines even around the shrub island in the front left. Great attention to detail!!
Also what type and age of that tree? Some sort of weeping Alaskan cedar?
Chamaecyparis nootkanensis or Alaskan weeping cypress is my guess? They also remind me of the Grinch in Dr. Seuss!
Ted your yard is ART WORK !! Very nice ! John Taylor
Yes those goofy trees are drooping/weeping variety of hemlock or fir. Those 2 trees were 10' tall when we moved in. Most the limbs were drooping and some blocking the walkway, so I started cutting, but left a few weird limbs that were trying to point up. 16 years later and now the trees are over 70' tall.
Yes Rudy, it's almost alby time. Spellcheck never heard of alby(albacore tuna) LOL.... Also known as unicorn or sasquatch to Californians
awesome!!!
What the?
The yard looks fantastic Ted...good luck out there fishing...don't forget to post some pics! 8)
Nice sharp blades on the mower 👍
You have your name, back the front, should be, detail to the Max, love it, cheers Don.
It has been tough fishing this king salmon season in Puget sound. Lots of jellyfish and dogfish, and also immature kings. It just makes me fish harder and smarter. We've managed to bonk several over the last 3 weeks. I had to stop fishing for a few days so I could get caught up at home. Managed to get a few batches smoked and into the deep freeze. Sorry for lack of on the water pics. I always forget to bring a digital camera. Cant post pics from my phone. Here's a pic of first fish on opening morning. It scaled out just over 16#. In the pic it was bleeding out in the scupper to keep the bloody mess to a minimum
Keep 'em comin' Ted! I know what ya mean about it being tough...I just spent two nights on the Ohio River and never caught a fish! The bite has been very slow. They had a 30 boat catfish tournament and only four boats weighed fish!
Ted
What lure did you catch it on? I need pictures your lures on the West Coast have different names than ours on the East Coast. I might have something to help?
Mike
Some good eatin' there, Ted !
Fishing's pretty poor here, too, Mo ! River is "beyond" low....
Hi Mike, We mostly use salmon flies, or hootchies, and trolled behind a 12" flasher. Depths we troll are anywhere from 60' to 200'
We are fishing just a few miles north of the metropolis(Seattle). No shortage of boats trying to catch the same fish. These king salmon are nearing the river they were born in and a lot of them are not eating. That just adds to the challenge.
Our good area is closed now, so on we go to the only area left open. This morning we got 1 about 15# and had to quit early to beat low tide at the launch.
Back home now and life is good, cause I got me some bagels, whipped cream cheese, and smoked salmon. I do enjoy sharing, but since none of you are here, I can only share a pic. Yep, I'm in heaven
Very nice Ted,
I had Salmon last night too. Fresh from Publix supermarket!
