What music are you listening to?

She's carrying a po-dunk 9mm, a cartridge I gave up for lack of serious stopping power decades ago, even for in-town carry.

As she was driving through the hills and mountains west of Glennallen I was talking to her, window-shopping online for a decent sidearm for bear that would fit comfortably into her somewhat smaller hands and chest holster, and not have so much recoil as to prevent her from wanting to shoot it enough to become proficient.

I/we decided that a 10mm (like my in-town gun, but newer) or a .454 Casull similar in size and weight to the one I custom built for her mother, were the 2 options I'd recommend, though the 10mm I was looking at for her has a stout grip due to magazine size.

I might or might not head down that way on Sunday and go out early Monday morning, as 61,000 salmon passed the Miles Lake sonar last Sunday, and it takes them 7-9 days (on average, depending on water depth and speed in the river) to get up to between Haley Creek and O'brien Creek.

But I'll be calling her cell phone until I wear the numbers off the pad with the acid in my fingertips.

I contained the thoughts in my head last night, not wanting to hurt her feelings or drive her away again, but... Jesus!

No idea if she was dropped off with others, who they are, or if she got a spot all alone. In which case, if she was dropped off alone by herself, she'd need to be more alert of her net, her balance, and what's going on around or behind her.

Mark, the fellow running the river boat there, would possibly come back and check on her if she was all alone, but I don't believe he'd make special trips down that way to see. He'd probably check if he had other patrons or other business down that way, though. But these days he runs his affairs differently than he did 30 years ago, and isn't all over the river all day, necessarily.

There were 4 spots left out of six on this morning's transport, so I don't think there'll be a whole bunch of people down there today.

I hope to find out in several hours how it all went. Maybe I'll even score a fish, too! Cheer-leading fees and all of that.

Life-long fave song of my 20-something daughter.

Good taste.

My wife just came home with a whole shitload of stuff to put into the freezer; the same freezer into which I just put 60-lbs. of ice for dip-netting yesterday. But she also brought home about 7 lbs. of wild-caught sockeye salmon fillets, 5 or 6-lbs. of pulled pork in sealed pouches, 5-lbs. of frozen peaches (for winemaking), and I don't know what else.

So, I made room....

My wife, not my daughter. Different fish source. Same species. The fish, that is.

The song at the end.

Sigh.
