Birthday, Work and Some Fishing
Hello friends and Hivians. I hope you all had a great weekend. Well I am now a year older since I last posted. I've been incredibly busy with one hell of a work schedule. Despite being busy, I have found time to do some things.
Friday was my birthday 🎂 and the day started really early at work as I had to be in at 6:00 a.m. I also had to track an inbound aircraft as I had the work phone this past week. I had to wake up twice during the night. The last time I got up was around 3:00 a.m. and I was up for good. It also included working past my normal duty day as I got off around 7:00 p.m.
I received some birthday wishes throughout the day, which helped and fueled me through the day. I got two birthday cards at work. One was from my unit commander, which had a written personnel message inside. The other was a card created with a simple piece of white paper (the one above). It was from another work center which is located in the same facility I work in. Inside the card was birthday wishes from everyone I work with in the facility. Someone also bought me a pint of my favorite ice cream, Rocky Road 😋
After work I headed over to my friends place, I was welcomed with some longetivity noodles and eggs. There was also some potatoes, carrots and beef to go along with it. I spent about two hours with her before I headed home.Once home my son gave me a card and it wasn't much longer I went to bed.
Saturday looked grim because I was projected to go into work at 2:00 p.m. Upon tracking an inbound aircraft I found out that I didn't have to be into work until later, 10:00 p.m. That was a relief because it opened my day up. I decided to make the best of it.
It decided to make a good hearty breakfast. I made two over easy eggs, two sausage links, a hashbrown and two pieces of toast. Afterwards, I made some cinnamon rolls. Do you want some? You can have any of them except the middle one. That's my favorite and it's mine 😆
Once the food settled I decided to go fishing. The weather was decent as the temperature was around 50° F (10° C) with just a little wind. I kept 5 fish which were all crappies, caught the biggest one of year, which measured just under 16 inches. That big fish turned into dinner the following day. My friend prepared it and fed it to me.
I went into work at 10:00 p.m. and got off around 12:30. I got home and didn't fall asleep until around 2:30. I got up around 8:00 the next morning. I had some quick coffee and decided to go fishing again.
Well the weather was even better than the day before. A few degrees warmer and basically no wind. The water was calm and it appeared to look like glass. Beautiful day and the fish were biting. I don't remember the exact number of fish I kept, but they were all some nice slabs! After fishing, I dropped some off to my friend and then went hope to clean the rest of them for myself.
Once I was done cleaning fish I took a shower. After that I just relaxed, watched some football and took it easy. I actually took an old man nap for about an hour. I hoped to get in bed by 9:00 but didn't until around 10:30.
That was basically my Birthday Friday and weekend. This week will be another busy work week. I won't have a lot of time by myself, but I will still strive to make the best of it. Unfortunately, it looks like I will spend much of my Thanksgiving Holiday at work. I hope the weekend will be free because I really just want to take it easy and relax.
Take care, stay safe and have great week ahead. Until next time!
Damn you’re still catching fish this time of year?! That’s awesome. The fish stopped biting here long ago hahaha.
Sounds like a low key and enjoyable birthday man! Don’t need much fancy stuff, just time with the right people and it’s great.
Hopefully work is easy over the holiday, I’ve worked many myself and it is what it is. Hopefully it also means next year you have it off which is usually how we handled it.
Still catching them its been a couple of weeks. It was a warm front that pushed through. Now its cold again, waiting for snow.
Your right a Birthday is a good day if spent with the right people regardless for how long :-)
Ive worked all the holidays and its all dependent on the air schedules. This busy activity is all due to Biden's overseas travels and some other world events. We call it his farewell tour, all president's seem to do it before they leave office.
Happy Birthday!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It looks like you had a "productive" weekend!!! Birthday "celebration" and fishing... TWICE!!! I'm jealous... 😃
As I moved to another city, my previous fishing place is now even farther away than it was before... You mentioning wind, reminded me about it, as it was always windy up there in the mountains...
There is another artificial lake close to my new home, I was there fishing 2-3 times, but a few years ago I didn't catch anything... But, I will have to test it out again... 😃
I hope your week will not be as bad as you think... 💪
Thanks, even though I worked a lot on my birthday it was still special :-) I really did get to go fishing twice in between the work storm, jaja.
Hope the new lake produces for you, hope it's not too far away. Soon I might be doing some ice fishing 🧊 🎣
Oooh... that can be fun... As I was living in an area where we didn't have too cold winters (with exceptions), I went maybe 2-3 times to ice fishing... It was fun!
Again, Happy Birthday Bob ✨✨. Whoa even at your birthday you are so busy, still, I'm sure you enjoyed it too. Especially the part where you received a cards and rocky road ice cream, hehe. I also want that cinnamon roll, please send three here ✨✨😆.
Thank you again. Oh yes ice cream is a good present for me. Just three cinnomon rolls is all, hehe.
November is usually a busy month for me but the extra hours at work really make me exhausted. This week is busy also but I will spend the off time with rest.
Happy birthday! Please give me some ice cream. XD
Thank you 😄 that amount might be gone soon. It's still in work fridge I keep forgetting to take home.
Oh. Haha. You have something to munch on while at work.
Happy belated birthday!
That's so sweet of your colleagues, not to mention the friend who made you longevity noodles!
Thank you. It's a first I got a birthday card from my work colleagues. Usually that only happens when you depart. Now it being something made from scratch is all the better.
Fresh fish. I love it
Yes, can't beat it over store bought fish 😀
that's true.taste better
Sending you an Ecency curation vote
Thank you Melinda 😊
Belated Happy Birthday🎉🥳
Your workmates are sweet to have given you handwritten cards and even a pint of ice cream! And what a way to enjoy the birthday weekend by fishing and cooking your catch afterward. The cinnamon rolls look yummy!
Thank you 😃
Yes it was a thoughtful gesture and that little thing really made the day go along much better. I can tell you the cinnamon were soft and melted away as i consumed them, hehe. Ice cream still in work freezer need to remember to bring home today.
Well not bad day! Despite you had to work you got cards and ice cream!!! That's good! And also then some fishing time to get some relaxed time, good. Hope that at least you got a nice day, happy birthday again amigo!!!

Wow! You have been working very hard during your birthday!
However, you had a lovely birthday and very yummy ice cream! I bet you had finished it already!
The fishing break was quite rewarding! The cooked fish looked very delicious too. Some of the catch were quite big!
I wish I had a lake nearby to learn how to fish.
Hope you’ll have an easy and relaxing weekend.
Haha the ice cream still in work freezer. Hopefully i remember to take home tonight, haha.
The fish was indeed delicious and I'm thankful to enjoy it in Asian cuisine. I did have one of my better outings this year catching this particular species.
You have a beautiful river near you to fish at. River fishing is fun and is a little more challenging but certainly worth it. I hope you can enjoy fishing one day 😊
I hope I will have a full work free coming weekend. I really need it to recover a bit. Take care!
Oh! You haven’t finished the ice cream! Then I could help you with half of it! 😂
The river here is quite a dangerous place for unskilled fishermen. The currents are too quiet and strong. The big fish are in the middle of the river at about four to five meters deep. I have to be at skill fly fishing to be able to catch the big fish!
Some villagers went fishing in their long boats in the afternoon. These fish do fetch high prices!
Any larger river can be dangerous. Currents and undertows can take lives of even experienced swimmers.
I use to watch a show called River Monsters. I learned from that show that Thailand had large freshwater stingrays in some of its rivers. I think I saw Mekong and red tail catfish there as well. All fish I would love to fish for and catch.
Oh the ice cream got hit yesterday. It's about half gone, come on over and have the rest, hehe
I think that ice cream has gone by now.
Two months ago, a local fisherman disappeared from the river with his long boat. He’s very experienced fisherman. He phoned his son to get him some gas as the engine was low on gas. By the time his son arrived at the river, his father’s boat was gone.
The boat was found over 100 kilometers away by some villagers. He was drown in the river. The news came as a shock to the village. The currents were too powerful that day.
Nope still some left, I've been busy enough and it has slipped my mind, haha.
Oh yes many happenings of drowning in the river near me as well. Flowing rivers can be dangerous and caution should always be on one minds!

That ice cream is also the favourite one of a friend of mine! Yummy! Take care, and try to go easy on the busy schedules, if it is anyhow possible 😇
Thank you. Hoping to remember to take the ice cream home today, haha.
Hopefully things will slow down starting December 😃
Happy Birthday... Oh, that sign is so funny. And the food... Yummy 🤤
Que cumplas muchos más, Amigo.
Thank you Amiga. Despite being busy it was still a favorable day. Perhaps many more if I'm half way through life 🤪
Life is often hectic, but you have to take it easy. Take care ;)
Stars align on your favor, coz it's your birthday😌. I would like to have that cinnamon rolls and even the fresh fish. I cook them myself.😌😌
A simple birthday but good 😃 That fish was tasty over rice and had just a hint of spice. Everything she makes has chili, hehe.
Waiting to hear about your day. Is there a draft or should I just ask 🤣?
There's a draft that takes forever to finish😌. I went out with my boss and she gave me a treat.😁
I thought there might be one, hehe. I'll wait to see what the treat is 😃
Hehehe. Don't know when to publish it😬🙂↔️.
Now??? 🤪 😆 🤣
Haven't finish🤣
Hey I missed your birthday. I was a bit busy.
I'll just with you the first for the coming years to come 😊
