Dad let me borrow a sweet baitcaster rod and reel. Stoked to start chucking some jigs on that, although I do love the spinning rod so far. I'm so ready for this heat wave to settle into autumn. 🎣 🍂 #fishing #photography image
Slow to wake this morning. Hot coffee in hand. Farmer's Market in bit. Question at hand; Do I vlog some #fishing and #banjo playing? Or keep it sacred?
Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me?
God's country, a nomadic houseboat, a dog and cat. This guy gets it. ⚔️ "Nothing is boring here. Nothing gets old here. It's precious. It's peaceful. It's a way of life I wish more people would understand. It's almost lost - forgotten to time. I'm sorry you don't understand"
I am seeking truth.
"Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert." Grant us the faith to walk boldly in this newness, to lay hold of Thy promises, and to rest in the assurance of Thy redeeming love. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.
Caught my first bass this weekend ⚔️ image
Have you tried unplugging it and walking away?
I highly recommend time at the river with your closest friends, falling a bit behind on sleep, and unplugging for a bit. We did just that this past weekend in a nice cabin just a short walk from the water. While I didn't get any smallmouth to bite, I still got my first catch on the books - several lovely bluegill in the dim hours of dawn and dusk. Meals were top notch, especially the campfire s'mores. Wholesome.
A note to self re: my imposter syndrome. Most of the value I seem to bring to my work is the ability to consistently stay organized, support decisions with logic, and show up relentlessly. My optimistic attitude allows me to pivot quickly when new ideas appear, providing an agile channel for ideation. I shy away from calling myself a technical master at any one given skill. But I have curiosities that I feed routinely; allowing myself to go into rabbit holes when deeply interested. ⚔️
