My mother's house I'm moving in was put up in 1985 so its not to old compared to my 1923 house I grew up in and still here so far.
My wife was working over there today.
I pulled this out of the trash from there. It's our local newspaper. Amazing the things we keep for keepsakes.

In retrospect. This was 2019 estimate
Over a 104 million population increase in less than 40 years.

So I'm going to get a little sappy but in a fun way of what once seemed a simpler way.
These are pictures of my father's high school sweater and his ball glove as a pitcher. He was an academic scholar. Football, baseball, basketball and track. His local school still has a hall of fame wall.
He excelled in all kinds of things including farming. Had scholarships to many universities but chose a path of simple life
In marriage to a local girl with a great parenting of hunting and survival skills. While my dad wore academic wool sweaters,
my mother wore woolrich wool hunting sweaters. Match made in heaven.
I've learned so much from my parents and theirs. I've learned the very hard lessons of how precious life is.
In my times, I've wandered and passed lots of strangers just to shake their hand but it's never swayed from what real people are and mean.

Those memories are priceless, and what a great set of parents to grow up with! 

First Salmon caught in DSR
Highway clogged already on 81 to Pulaski

Not a Metallica fan, but they have a new concert film playing at drive ins across the country tonight. If you like the band and bad drive in food, this could be an opportunity of a lifetime.

Sometimes I feel like I've been here before. Dejav' . Master bedroom and bath will be ready for paint tomorrow. My goal is to have everything in there completely done by next weekend and livingroom very close.
This will be the neverending renovation on house #3 on our homestead. The projects never end but winter is coming so things need to button up.
The real fun stuff begins for us tomorrow at deer camp. Yes relaxing in the woods for 3 days. Much needed.
I know what will happen though be so long away from afeild, I won't want to leave.

Garden is over for us except herbs. Still lots tomatoes on the vine but birds can have them until it pull the stalks.
Enjoy your labor day and we've all earned something for our hard work.
Peace and tuna

Fish numbers depend on which Pro service ya read but things are starting on the SR in the river. 
But its started.
Photos of places I recognize  from 81 on down have some fish - appears mostly early in AM..
 
Waiting for a report of runners being in the Hatchery- always happens that some sneak up that far early.
 
Tight lines and good times to all who venture up to the river.
