Duncanpup's JournalTrout fishing yesterday in the rain with sixteen and Curt Gowdy one and two.
A ramble can’t sleep last night I fell asleep 9pm went to bed was up 12:15 am wide awake.
So yesterday we roll and we hit this limestone stream about eight miles from our home over near state park. Anyway we took two vehicles cuz sixteen is in drivers ed training besides free guitar lessons totally unstructured here at Duncpup school of blues we also offer drivers ed and culinary arts and guided fishing expeditions / circus . So we park the Mazda up stream hop into 4 runner and head about two miles downstream. Were gonna fish moving up against the flow of the stream you cast upstream the nymphs go floating past Nemo and score.
So anyhow we are at our kickoff point where we can walk in to the stream as we are dragging gear out of 4 runner. 19 with the hard questions Dad why are you not putting on your chest waders I told him instead of majoring in electrical engineering this fall he should pursue journalism . I point to the stream water is high from the rain it’s running fast , and if I get tight and can’t work it loose from the stream bank I’ll cut break it and put on another nymph.
Side note I hooked up sixteen with her own wet weather gear kids four foot eleven inches what I ordered her was still to big jacket and pants we rolled her jacket sleeves and pant legs up taped them off. 😂
So 18-19 hey we’re wearing our chest waders now these two have really become accomplished fly fishing dudes. Me nah I don’t have patience I’m daiwa ultra light rod and reel yet these waters are not strictly fly fishing only , so sixteen and I were trying to find the fish and we were using nymphs weighted to flow along bottom. 18-19 maybe 50 meters behind us.
Sixteen and I locked on the trout it’s nice spot an old railroad bridge that washed out I was told from Agnes back in 72 ,and next thing you know maybe three fish in like 20 minutes. Before you know it yep here comes my two seriously wading in the stream , I guess it’s to much to walk along creek bank.
So then you have two fatheads a sixteen year old and Dad sharing a small ass piece of real estate yep a circus. So it gets better 18 says to 19 about a mile up stream hey pass me a sandwich 19 is like huh I thought you put them in your backpack.
A great memory this same stretch we were at yesterday years ago Boog was with us and he took off running because this couple were having a picnic. And we didn’t know that they were being intimate I was worried about Boog I hollered he is ok he doesn’t bite we walked up on them and they we’re getting dressed we stopped looked away as they dressed and their was Boog looking for a handout.
That day I told Liz what happened she said really Boog you ruined their romance, yea but lady I got a cookie out of it wag wag.
Told 18 and 19 I'll buy their union books as High school graduation present.
They took casual Dock job with a nationwide union LTL carrier you have seen their equipment all green tractors based out of fort smith Arkansas this outfit has a break bull hub about 35 miles from our home.
I was gonna go work for them as line haul driver after the yellow roadway merger yet ended up here at Buster brown anyhow they left 02:00 to train 03:00-07:00 maybe to 11am Monday to Friday this week on dock then get home for cyber school , which cyber school is this late in the game. And the school just loads assignments and they complete them when they can. Except for Wednesday afternoon when they meet online with cyber school director to go over anything they need.
This was the boys idea a friend of the fellas who graduated early is on list working 8 + shifts he told them cash he was making. I told them bank your cash i am writing the checks for tuition.
This summer after graduation they can go 8-10 hours and then come fall both off to local university. They have both decided they want to stay here and go to Shippensburg university in fall. Then work the docks next summer up to graduation if they want. Not bad job I mean or casual through the school year with straight and overtime this summer where else can a college kid make decent cash working full time in summer then casual throughout the year.
Come this fall 18 is gonna be studying math and 19 is studying Electrical Engineering. Told them both this morning stay focused get a education like your Mother and your sisters, made me smile this morning it’s gonna be 03:00-07:00 possibly 11am they took my old lunchbox cooler and it was packed I asked them if they were going on long trip or if they left any groceries in fridge. Oh here is the kicker they both took the Corolla gonna be 70 be around miles round trip for them Toyota it’s great on fuel economy my commute to work car why cuz 19 drives a 4 runner 18 drives pathfinder.
Boogs crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday no tears only good memories,my best boys obituary.
Was gonna go in to high school yesterday to jam with kids and i noticed my troop didn’t eat his pill in scrambled eggs and he was hacking hard trouble breathing the meds I give him and Mr big paws to take their vetprofin for arthritis. Then tried to give him his pill in peanut butter bread nope I felt his stomach he was bloated I called boys at their jobs at grocery store you got to come and help me.
We loaded him in 18 pathfinder folded the one seat down so we could love him as he rode in the back. Shit hold on had to run in and get a pillow for trooper to rest his head on stress and high strung emotions.
He passed in the exam table not alone we were with him 18 was looking into his eyes he peed his bladder released they were prepping him for blood work and x rays.
This morning we’re laughing joking saying Boog he probably at least pissed twice on the rainbow bridge and then he saw your mom he probably said lady where have you been I’ve missed you. WTB what the biscuits here I thought man lost you.
Boog came into this world 5/3/09 hooked up with boy 7/10/09 put his puppy ass down in the kitchen that first day and it was on. We always said his theme song was the Scorpions rock you like a hurricane that day he was on the loose Zooming oh look I have a KAT I will chase you and maul you Kat.
His choice of career was being a boog totally in love with his boy from the go and also a veteran of many contacts in backyard with skunks seriously a serial killer level of skunk murders many baths yet he do it again and again.
Besides being in solid loving relationship with his pack especially boy ,although with Nanna my wife’s mother they had a love to you aggravate the shit out of me dog Nannas words many times . Boog was like hey you’re my Nanna I love you yet couple times I left a load in the guest room was just my way of saying shouldn’t you be going home soon.
Boogs education was he was a failed candidate of obedience training at the parent teacher dog training meeting when he was being suspended she said he needs in house one on one training I can do it I have a program of two to three weeks are you both interested.
In the car on way home mister is leaning on my wife his body between the seats he was probably then eighteen months old I love you lady. I told Liz I’m not comfortable with the shock collar in house program so boog said hey I’ll obedience train myself I’m a stable genius.
Some of his more memorable achievements which he had many are eating Nanas birthday cake that Liz baked eating a pan of brownies for boys first grade birthday party oh eating a whole pizza at maybe seven months ooh I smell pizza. Chairs were not pushed in on dining room table it was gone.
Oh here is a memory we’re jamming maybe three four years ago and we’re running amps through surge protector. And he shocks himself we didn’t know why at first he cried then did it again upon investigation Boy discovers piece of hot dog bun on surge protector under amp cords.
He was an original we always would say if Mr Big paws the golden retriever best boy was human he would be a Astro physicist.
Then the Boog if he were human either John Belushi character from animal house or straight Danny Devitos character Frank from tv show it’s alway sunny in Philadelphia and by default that made boy Charlie Kelley they were a inseparable pair.
In closing 18 picked out a nice urn for mister will put him next to Liz yea lots of tears yesterday but mister would not want us to sad although we’re gonna miss him.

Sarcasm 18 and Boog were in car and 18 Stopped to let a squirrel cross the street. We now feel that Boog is thinking 18 is now a woke animal loving liberal.
Boog is like WTB what the biscuit man where did we go wrong in raising boy next thing you know will probably have squirrels pictures on Bud light cans thanks Brandon.
A lot of what if's on possible strike here at Buster Brown.
Just got off well I was done 03:00 ran district the Brooklyn tour having coffee with my mother in law she is doing her crossword. Getting a lot of questions and what if’s from younger members and that’s great in their desire to want to know.
In that some of the younger brothers and sisters are nervous. They know I walked in 94 under Carey some of us old dudes left from that time then I worked for another union carrier that is now out business and for 24 days we were on strike same fears then as now and I get it.
The questions from them then my answers to these fine young members.
How long do you think it will last if we walk -who knows my crystal ball is in the shop for repair.
Man that strike pay isn’t much I have wife and kids to take care of- I understand yet you’re not the only one with family and the strike pay is something.
Can I sign up for unemployment - no you can’t.
Will it get violent - I doubt it I sure as shit hope there is no violence tempers do rise from my only experience when on strike.
Telling them memories from 94 when I watched dudes cross to work their reasons to cross ,cuz they had families to take care of the strike pay was not enough. A hammer tossed through window of scab truck driver who actually argued with us that we were greedy bastards.
Oh here is a memory a hammer took out the windshield of his old cab over freight shaker he was gonna get a load of freight he never got that freight he turned around. Some fists were thrown both ways nothing major just business I don’t condone violence yet we stand together.
I tell them these young men and women back then in 94 we still had a lot of Hoffa senior members and they were solid guys in fuck around and find out types.
And after we all went back to work the 4 guys who scabbed on us in 94 were all gone within a year cuz those old members just made their lives at work hard nothings physical just a life of shit in which they deserved .
I miss those old guys when I started in 87 as Dock man they took care of you if you were ok ,Kid just do your job give no shit take no shit. My attitude was yea sure ok I’m just doing this temporarily until the industrial electrician or Boiler makers open up their books to take on new apprentices at the steel mills.
By the way I’m still waiting thirty six years later at 57 to get in one of those two union apprenticeships sarcasm it was the late 80’s times for trades and steel industries were tough.
So if it goes down and we find ourselves picketing outside the fence and you encounter anyone crossing to go scab do not confront them may not end well , and you do not need any charges from local D.A.
Relax people do not get nervous we’re still working and in negotiations. Nobody wants to do this yet we may have to do it. As for this new president O’Brien he see he seems to be a fighter unlike Hoffa junior who just screwed us for twenty three years.
Here is hoping for the best.
Grunts of the sky So your day time job in 1971 was to fly around and get shot at
A friend of mine who is now full time VA care a conversation we had years ago. Just got text sitting here having coffee from his daughter.
Hope I’m not waking you yet I know you usually work nights I just opened my email and my Covid results are+.
I was to take mom to spend the weekend with dad Saturday and Sunday we have hotel reservations Friday to Sunday as this will be their 54 th wedding anniversary was wondering if you could take mom over so she can spend time with dad.
I text her absolutely I’ll check her into hotel tomorrow pick her up Sunday evening the hotel has transportation to and from Veterans hospital. I remember having couple beers with Andy he was union driver and we became really tight over the years.
Yet my point in this ramble is Andy once described to me what as Loach pilots he did in Vietnam they flew as scouts some times bait and once they were engaged they would engage usually the door gunner / crew chief with a M-60 and call in cobras that were hovering off station.
Then cobra gunships come in and get the killing on with the NVA. Man that gave me chills listening to him tell me that. I said dam you were the Grunts of the sky he told me in one year tour he was shot down five times in one day he rode two little birds him and his crew chief we rode two little bids into the trees on that operation two birds in one day lose a bird get picked up by Huey fly back strap on another little bird just a day at the office .
Andy continued telling me of that day in 71,they the NVA had 51 caliber heavy machine guns in that fucking valley but we flew we had our people on the ground engaging them his words that to me is STUD dedication.
I was five years old in 71 a bad day for me was the romper room lady never once called out my name Long night going bed sleep off night shift. Have great day Du community especially those that lived like my friend Andy.
How do you bring a republican to their knees
Paint your dick orange
