EDOC and damned fishes

You may have noticed, perhaps happily, my silence with regard to the Oldsmobile. Well, the project has continued to present, um, challenges to learn from, and I've been feeling down about it. However! A sexy Stewart-Warner speedo, a layback shifter stick, fully-functional A/C, premium Copper header gaskets, and improved engine tuning are all in the works. Chop-Shop Customs has promised delivery on or before the beginning of next week.




You may have noticed, perhaps happily, my silence with regard to fishing. I've gone casting from shore at all times of day and night, tides incoming and outgoing, throwing live, fresh, frozen, and artificial baits from The Canal to Plum Island... Yeah. My targets, blues and stripers, are scarce this year, and they've grown wary after decades of pressure. I haven't caught shit. However! It is a pleasure to be outdoors, and every week I get a little closer to ferreting out the closely-guarded secrets of succesful surf casters, creatures even rarer and more elusive than the damned fishes.
