There were only a few hours of work to do to finish a major outdoor project (a house I have been painting) and the temperature was predicted to reach a high of seventy-five. I took off to the woods for a little fishing and a bit of woodcutting.
I pulled in a couple of bluegill sunfish like this one (underwater, still on my line)...
...before reeling in this beauty...
red about my person.
and enjoying intensity of effort.
I left a slice by the roots, but most I piled for later disposal.
A very good day off.
which is me, actually, and I am available.
