Day One 2009




Day One. Like stated before things have changed. Me and Cliffy, Opening day at Old New Spot on a Sunday. We arrived at 615 am after convincing Cliffy we were better off to have him drive, sorry Lisa. We arrived to find 10 trucks at the Old New Spot, you heard that right 10 trucks! Is this the the New Hot Spot? What up?! After a short hike we make our way to the slough, head lamps were everywhere, we make our way down to the original spot Bob and I carved out years ago. After Cliffy threw out the blocks, in an awesome pattern by the way, and I build the blind we settle in. The morning firsts start, first drink, first smoke, first drink to other founding member Bob, first drink for first plane overhead, and so forth and so on you get the picture. A beautiful morning ensued. Sunrise pink and bold over Mt. Hood a light fog over the water. Just as all other first days the action was slim if damn near non existent. Me with a slight case of the flu was finding hard to keep up with Cliffy, I napped, I drank water, I napped some more. Cliffy made an awesome first day lunch, may have been the best ever, roasted pork tenderloin with a roasted pepper, eggplant, and artichoke salad, it was seasoned perfectly. Thanks Cliff. After a huge displacement I was ready, back in the game. But by then it was far to late though, the weather changed to clear and warm, the wind was still. After another hour or so we packed it up, it was not an awesome slay day, we only saw on duck, but still we were hunting, we were hunting as a team.
Picture was taken just before we left
to show just how much larger than me,
some things do change
