I forgot to mention this place is a "rental" house if anyone is interested......

Only $12,400 a week during the Summer! :<
 
Yes, Julie, thanks for asking. I'm in my 26th year as a professional firefighter/paramedic. I work a 24 hour shift, then 48 hours off. This year, I was scheduled to work both Christmas Day and New Years Eve. Lucky me!

Six more years and I'm retiring! :fsh

No problem, Dave, thanks for being a firefighter/paramedic! I know you rarely hear this but here in the good ole USA, you are the one who will be on the front line!
 
Tonight we have a bunch of appetizers and drinks before dinner followed by a main course of Alaskan King Crab with all the trimmings. This stuff is HUGE. Never seen King Crab legs/claws this big. Flown in special from Seattle by the owner of the house we are staying at......

Back to reality sadly on Wednesday....... :(


So you took the poor guys crab legs on him while he was gone, eh?!

I thought it had been quiet around here for a while. You have been slumming it again.


Much quieter around here. I will probably have a small TV dinner, and maybe a beer if I want to splurge. My brother called a while ago to borrow some traps. He wants to see if he can catch a few squirrels for dinner (live traps). Hehehehehehehe

I will probably go to bed early as usual lately and celebrate in the morning when I wake up for yet another glorious day.
 
Mike,

Where in the outer banks are you? That looks like the Pine Island section in Corolla. I used to spend a lot of time down there. A mere 4 hour drive from here and I love the place.
 
Yep it's close to Corolla. Just google "Tern of the Century" and look for the website more pics and the map to this place. It's already almost booked solid through the summer of 2013!

I know it. Never stayed there, but I've seen it.

If you have time and want to splurge on a nice dinner out, go to Elizabeth's in Duck. Wonderful food and wines. Bluepoint is another nice place. If you don't make it there for dinner, go for happy hour and watch the sun set on the sound.
 
Hanging at home this evening, and going to open one of 8 bottles of 2010 Blackberry-Cherry wine i made (2nd batch ever) and see if its worth its weight or not.

Going to watch the ball drop with the family
 
A peaceful night with a bottle of merlot,and like Rocky looking forward to tomorrow's football games..... I wish everyone a healthy, safe,New Year!!!
 
Happy New Year everyone! I took the family out shopping, to a movie and then out to dinner. Now settling down in front of the tube with the wife and a bottle of sparkling shiraz.
 
I can't believe I ate the whole thing.......

Lots of Chardonnay went down tonight. Went very well with the crab and BUTTER!

Some crabs were injured and unfortunately did not survive but were ultimately consumed during the process...... :)

Happy New Year all! I myself am fishing tight now and til wee hours of the morn wife will be sleeping most likely in an hour as she couldn't sleep last night, daughter is sleeping over a friends house and son will be playing all his new games he got for Xmas. Hopefully the fish start buying soon. Sorry about any misspellings but this phone really pisses me off. When I try to go back and fix my mistakes it won't go back to that word and starts erasing other words instead. This android update sucks!!!!!
 
Lol..the updates do suck wade.... Hope ya catch more then a cold......lol... Happy new year...
 
Wife has very bad chest cold so I got us takie outie and a movie. Watching the ball drop over the fiscal cliff. Happy New Year to all WMT friends.
 
Happy New Year to all at WMT. Wife and I went into Boston for First Nite. We saw the early fire works. Had dinner in town. Opened a couple of bottles of wine, white for the wife red for me. Won't make it till midnite. Oh well. Bakervinyard
