Can't Always Trust the Weatherman

in #hive-1063163 months ago

Hello friends, Hivers and fellow Silver Bloggers. I hope you all are doing great. As for me, I'm doing just fine. Today I'm going to talk about my weekend some starting with Friday.

Friday during the day was much like the rest of the work week, I had to work. I did watch the morning news before going to work and paid attention to the weather forecast. The forecast was for rain in the evening and scattered showers throughout the day for both Saturday and Sunday. The first thing I did was mow the grass when I got home to beat the rain. Once I finished it rained shortly after. It came down pretty good.

I woke up Saturday morning and it was a steady rain coming down. I just sat in my nook and had some coffee pretty much the entire morning. I was really wanting to go out and do something outside. Hey I've spent the last 10 days inside recovering from a cold I was itching.The feelings all the way until the rain stopped was it was going to be a lazy day.

I thought what hell I'm getting out of the house. I wore a pair of jeans, short sleeve shirt and carried a light weight coat. I decided to go fishing. When I arrived at my spot it looked cloudy and seemed it may rain again very soon. I had seen it was projected their would be more rain on Sunday so this is why I decided to fish today

Well I caught a couple of small bass the first half hour of fishing. It was shortly after that I got into some nice sized bluegills. It was also a time when the sky changed to a look that rain was no longer a possibility. The temperatures got warmer and I was feeling warm because of the jeans I was wearing.

In all I ended up keeping 9 bluegills. I only fished for about two hours. It was getting warm and it was pretty sunny out. Had I been dressed a little lighter I may have stayed longer. I had a friend who I told I would give her some fish the next time I went fishing. I did not need any bluegills as I still have plenty in the freezer at home.

I gathered all my stuff and made the journey to my friend. Some of you know me to gander trades with the fish I catch. Well not this time just a friendly gesture. To me it was worth it because of the excitement I seen on her face 😊 I only spent a short time there maybe chit chatted for 10 minutes or so. I was shocked to receive a text message from her an hour or so later.

It's a good feeling giving someone something and them showing it goes to good use. I was like oh goodness she wasted no time at all. She had to clean them, cook them and of course eat them so she must have started shortly after I left, haha. Well I'm happy she enjoyed 😊

I didn't do much Saturday evening but it did rain for a little bit once I arrived home. I ended up going to sleep around 10:30 but I was up early at 4:00.

Since Sunday was suppose to be rainy all day I decided I would do some delivery driving. Now the last time I did this was over a month ago. I didn't go first thing like I wanted to because my son wanted to accompany me.

We were out about 4 hours and it wasn't all that productive. Just a mere 7 deliveries for a total of $56.55. I put 70 miles on the car utilizing just under 1/4 of a tank of gas. Not exactly a good motivation in getting back to doing this more often again, haha.

I got home had a late lunch than was watching a little television. I was watching the news on President Biden dropping out of the presidential race. Oh politics, am I into them? Well I fell asleep in the chair I was sitting in and took a good two hour power nap, there's your answer 😴.

The rest of the evening I didn't do too much. I did hang out for a bit outside in my back yard and witnessed about a dozen deer spreed out in a field behind my property. Sorry for the bad quality they were quite distance away.

I didn't talk about the rain on Sunday did I? Well it was a beautiful day, not cold, not hot and no rain. If I knew this before hand I would have switched what I did on these two days. Oh only weatherman can keep there jobs for being less than half right on their predictions. What I thought was going to be horrible weekend outside turned out to not merely be that at all.

Thanks for stopping by I wish you a good week ahead. Please stay safe and take care. Until next time!

Thanks for the support 😊

But you're okay now yeah? I mean fully recovered? Seeing that you already went fishing and even mow the grasses 💪💪. Anyways, you had a lot of caught fish, can you also send some of that here? Haha. It looks yummy when fried. Fried fish is perfect for Escabeche 🤩🤩

Not 100% but close enough to get out and about. Just a little cough left.

Haha I think this year I have given away more fish than I have kept for myself. Fried fish is good I rarely have it that way though. A little bit of spices frying it can make it taste so good 😊

What a persistent cough no, lol.

And thats so kind of you 🤩, you are spreading kindness everywhere, not just the fish you caught ✨

Oh, you should have given me fish. hahaha.

If you were closer sure, haha

I assume you've recovered fully for you did a lot of activities already😁. Those fish looks yummy after your friend cooked it. It's been a while since the last time I ate fresh fish🫤

Not fully but good enough to chug along, haha. Perhaps you get some fish soon the way you like it not your bosses way 😜

I can eat only outside during off days. But I doubt if it's fresh😁😬.

I'd so provide you some fish if I could. Often some are still alive when I drop off, can't get anymore fresh than that, hehe. I still can't believe boss is so turned off by bone in fish eating, haha.

She's over acting sometimes. I've been eating not fillet fish since I was a child, and I'm still alive😁. Yours is fresh there. Here I think is not. It's been dead for how many hours before it can reach here. I think imported from nearby country.

Ah she should just turn away and let you enjoy your own way of enjoying fish. I don't know maybe my western thoughts thinks it's disrespectful to make you eat it outside 🤔

Here is the same way in the markets. I bet some are a few days old. The people I trade or give fish to are very appreciative of this. One friend one time filled sink up with water and came back later on to notice a fish was swimming in it 😂

You didn’t waste time on making the fish
Hehe😅😅

She didn't waste any time I guess I brought dinner for her right than, hehe

From the dam to the pan, best way to enjoy fresh fish!

Have a great week being productive, agree delivery services don't pay considering hidden costs time and vehicle related....

Oh yes water to plate the best.

Delivery use to be good for me. A lot has to do with too many drivers now and the greedy companies.

Thank you and hope your week is great & productive.

Since covid many more deliveries running around, the drivers I am sure not paid nearly what they should either. Cost of running a vehicle plus petrol/gas is expensive eating into any profit made.

Fresh fish I prefer sea fish except trout from rivers, the one you showed I do not know at all.

It was a good side gig, the last year it really isn't all that great. Less orders due too many drivers in the system but the expenses aren't less, haha.

Trout is excellent fish I chase them as well. I'm landlocked in the middle of the country away from the sea but I would love to fish in the oceans someday.

Cut-throat here as well, so many lining up to do some form of earnings.

PIZZA!

What a capture! Well done :) I miss going fishing with my parents :(

Thank you it was some short fun. I'm glad I caught some rather quickly. I remember fishing with my father, good times 😊 Take care and thanks for the comment.

Pleasure all mine to stop by your post! Take care too :)

You catched a lot of fish Sir @coolmidwestguy
You're so generous Sir, you shared it with your friend. God will give you more blessings

Thank you she's a good friend she makes really good dumplings btw too 😊

That's good to know Sir. Keep her Sir. Now a days, not easy to find a real friend 😊

Love it. Great photos

Thank you sorry the last two didn't turn out so good. The sight was much better than photo. I need to invest in a camera, camera phone doesn't always take great photos.

Thanks to fishing, you still had fun during the weekend despite the wrong weather forecast by the weathermen :) Your friend must be very excited she cooked the fish soon after you left hehe. They look delicious and I'm now craving for some, lol!

I really didn't think I would had the opportunity to go fishing. It's good the Weatherman was off. Haha I was expecting maybe the next day she would have made not that soon.

This reminds me of those days I would go with my brother to catch some fish in the river 😁🤣.

We got not that much as we are even using the traditional old way of fishing rod and earthworm as a bait 🤪.

Now decades have passed, and I never went fishing again . Just in the market 🤣

I love river fishing the most but its the one I do the least. Certain situations I still use the simple form of a hook with worm. Perhaps you go fishing again with hubby and son when he gets older 😊

Haha I don't think so there is a river here nearby 🤣

Ah a bummer, I think the next time I go out will be on the river. I'll do a fishing 101 basics to fishing a river, haha.

That's a lot of fish.. I want some too haha..
Quite not feeling well here again. The back pain I experience in HK is back.. can't do much physical work..
!PIZZA

Well it would do me great pleasure to provide you with fresh caught fish, but it may be a little steep on shipping, hehe.

Sorry to hear that about your back Jane. Wish I could send a massage or whatever will make it go away. Take care of yourself and hope it goes away soon.

The fish seemed really tasty while you were cooking it.

She made it look good with the pan shot 😊

You are lucky to have her on your side.

A good friend but she's not attached to my side, haha

Sorry for using such wordings my friend will be careful next time.

Your good no worries haha

Thank you my friend.

Those weathermen really seem to be getting worse as the technology improves. Makes no sense. Very nice blue gills, they're a lot fun to catch! You're friend enjoyed them, they looked good cooked up there in the pan!

I've never tried deliveries like that before, I might if I were younger. Driving around in Orange County traffic just doesn't sound appealing if you don't have to do it!

I know right with technology it should be improved you would think.

Oh yes heavy traffic areas are not the best places to go. Even in the Mid West there's places I avoid driving. Nothing worse than having food in the car when your stuck in traffic. Time is money and you won't do good delivering cold food! Haha

I swapped our double bed for a trampoline without telling my wife.
