I Can See Clearly Now, The Rain Is GONE!


This has been an extremely rainy summer.  One of the rainiest in decades as a matter of fact.  I haven't really been able to get out much, not even to fly fish.  Either the rock is wet or the rivers are blown out.  Last week was the best weather we've had in months...It didn't rain for four days.  Since June, it has rained just about every day and on days that were "nice" , thunderstorms formed by afternoon.  Not much happening out here right now.  I start school next week.  I've been working for Lincoln Sports Summer Camp, here in Lincoln.  Krista and I started brewing our own beer, which has been a fun endeavor.  I've been doing a bit of hiking.  I hiked Mt. Abe with Isaac and Spencer a few weeks ago; It was Spencer's first time up.  Today I went rock climbing with Isaac over in the Adirondacks.  Led a couple of really fun climbs (my first rock leads in well over a year).  Summer is beginning to slip into Fall (42F last night).  Still several months of rock to climb (if it stays dry).  Stay tuned for some Boston pictures.
