hot shower! Aug 23 2023

My brother Alan had planned to join me and my son Brian for 19 days of fly fishing, hiking etc. but health issues with Al's daughter came up.

He was supposed to fly to Sheridan WY last night, stay the night in a hotel and meet us in the morning but he had to cancel the flight.  That left a nonrefundable hotel room to otherwise,  go to waste so I pounced on the opportunity to have my first hot shower 7 weeks.  Ahhhhhhh! So good.  It rained like crazy but I had a roof over my head, soft bed, TV etc.

I'm Bach up in the mountains today and spent the afternoon fishing South Fork of Tongue River.   Beautiful Meadow, clear water.  Although other fishermen who were coming out from there told me they didn't get much. I did just fine catching several brown trout on hoppers and nymphs.  Curiously,  no brookies. 

I had a couple of opportunities to target specific fish and catch them - very cool.

During the trip I've lost some weight and it is frankly thrilling that my clothes fit a bit better and that my pot belly is smaller. 

Brian will likely drive up here tomorrow barring a breakthrough for Alan.
