Key and a wheat, 1925 I think.


I had a medical procedure done on the 24th, still recuperating from that, I'm not allowed in the water until Sept. 22nd. All is well, just something that needs done. I got the okay from the doc, so I hit a yard that wasn't too big, old neighborhood, not nearly as old of a house. I also was waiting for my XP Deus remote control box to get back. I had water infiltrate my waterproof bag. Warranty covered me with a brand new remote control box and brand new (water kit $80.00 value) I lost all my programs and had to reload them from my program sheet I had written down in case something were to happen. The only thing I had a problem putting back in was the "notch" I hit a beach down on the Delaware Bay last afternoon and thought there were no targets for a few minutes only to realize I had notched out almost everything, ha lol. The black flies were so bad we didn't hang there but ten minutes. We did enjoy a great sunset, best one Iv'e seen in years.

Enjoy the pix

Yes water is getting colder. I didn't know the Deus had a waterproof kit. Can you dive with one? Waterproof headphones also? Do I need to investigate another toy?

I will have to put my dive gear up but I still have waders and a boat in the water for a few more weeks. Then I will have to break out my E-Trac. At least I can still get out and play. However we both know water is a lot of fun!

My dive partner Kevin had back surgery last week. He is done till next summer and possibly longer. I am sure it frustrated you also to be out of the water. Glad you can still do a little dirt fishing.

Just think of the results you'll have next week, Treblehunter!
Maybe today?

Dry here too, thanks. I'm going to hit a few athletic fields today.

Get well soon buddy!! The water will be chillen soon and the treasure goes no where, so enjoy the little break...Great Pic's!! Oo and the black flies, not really friendly are they..
I can't wait till I can break out that Hookamax after Labor Day. A few of those old spots would be fun I bet?

GoOD to hear you're doing well, hopefully a speedy recovery and right back at it!

That kit is only rated for 10 ft I believe, I use it at my shallow spots, I think next year Deus will have something better. Thank you, I'll be recovered totally in order to get to a total knee replacement next spring, must rebuild the machine, ha lol
