Never would've thought....

 So, I'm guessing that I, along with alot of people own crocs. I never really wore mine that much. I usually only put them on to go outside or into the garage for a minute. Until recently that is, in the past couple weeks I have wore them to cut up a couple trees, yard work, fishing, and get my tree stand ready for deer season. And I gotta admit I love these things, they're comfortable and rugged. I once heard the holes in crocs is where your dignity drains out, and that might be true, but my feet love being in them. 
Alright back to this week...
Rose pic...
Lotta new growth, still hopeful to get a rose before fall.
 
I went fishing on Erie this week.... it did not go well.
I tried to pick the best day with least wind and least chance of rain, I failed on both. I did get to the launch and my kicker was still attached to the boat.
Super happy about that. 
I looked at the lake and it didn't look too bad, so I launched the boat. I headed East towards the SE side of Kelly Island. I noticed it was a little rough but not too bad. I finally made it to my starting point and deployed my rods. The whole experience felt like I was in a washing machine. The waves were very confused in that the main rollers were out of the NE and the 15 mph wind was out of the SW then with Catawba Island and Kelly they were just bouncing every which way. I kept an eye on the West because that's which way the storm was suppose to be coming in from, and when I did see it I pulled my rods and headed to the launch. 
Yep that sucked, it took me a minute to get this cleaned up.

Really my tackle box falling was the worse thing that happened to me.... I did get drenched when the storm hit and the boat wasn't buttoned up yet. Then yesterday I started coming down with a cold.... but as far as the boat... It ran great and did very well in the bigger waves.
