:canadaflag:Sweet sorrow on the seashore

[Leslie(nova scotia)]

A famous warrior of the world's oceans once said "Dam the torpedoes and full steam ahead' where in recent times a domestic digger said "Dam the housework I'm going digging" invoking the possibility of the wrath of the Hunny Bunny.

Today was such a day with a window of opportunity that spanned from low tide till high. Hit a local park and eyeballed a few golf eggs and my first "Robin" of the year. Spring must be close. Today was a stroll down memory lane as I was retiring my digging jacket of over 25 years. It was naked. No Canadian flags on the shoulders,no Nova Scotian flag, no team Garrett patch, no Man U , no Montreal Canadians patch over my heart.

Thanks again Navy Davy for the new camo jacket. The retired one I had gained from a military policeman from Windsor Park with whom I traded one of my old police parka....eons ago.

Kind of cold and wasn't long before my feet froze and Niagara nose was running freely. Scoffed a few pennies and a musket ball before the incoming tide forced the end of the dig. Just didn't realize how much I missed the hunt...................the little spry lad had replaced the aged digger for a tad.

I'm trying to look less ratty this year. Previously I've worn really old faded out clothes that may or may not contribute to indifferent /negative public perception. I just don"t want to feel like a hobo in the hobby/sport/whatever anymore. I have those gold coloured Dickies canvas pants which dont look too bad over time. Better than joggers with holes in them anyway., lol. And I have bought a few jacket type shirts, which are new. Going for the showered and decently dressed look this year.
