Whoops … an interesting Throwback Thursday #TBT flashback and mistake on my part … 
I received an order for MayFly Lures that I posted back in 2018 and sold a few and then sold my entire inventory in one lump in 2019. Unfortunately I forgot to remove the original blog post and so received a paid order earlier this week.
Thankfully I kept a couple back for my own personal Walleye fishing (if I ever go) and so decided to offer to the buyer before removing the post … now marked as PAID.

Received an email from a friend who said, “hey, there are no photo of you in your last week’s vacation post?” Hm, true .. and realized that this panorama is the nearest photo I have of me relaxing on the beach. 
But since our vacation is now in the rear view mirror, here are a few from our family to archive on the blog.
Granddaughters of course take precedent as they were out and about now that the weather is nice (although never really just stayed home?) Annalyn is growing into a “young girl” now and Ellerie is just happy to be waiting for her big sister (dance class) with mom in the car.
Taylor and Megan stopped by on Sunday after we returne
d home; in part to pick up the cedar headboard I made for Taylor in 2016 (we kept it on his bed in his room). They also brought Brenda a new rose plant as an early Mother’s Day gift and ended up taking some lilac clipping home. They look great on the turntable buffet … and the headboard looks great on the bed in Taylor’s apartment too.

How many building top water tanks can you count? (you could spend hours zoomed in on this photo … and if that is not enough, there is a naked man somewhere in this “Where is Wally or Waldo-like” photo).

PLACEHOLDER
It was a week of R and R for us with some sun and fun, so for Music Monday what better music than The Beach Boys and Fun, Fun, Fun from 1964.
Brian Wilson and Mike Love wrote the song based on a party inspired by the events of Dennis Wilson. It was originally song being worked on called “Run, Run, Run” but their then manager Murry Wilson was “dissatisfied with the song.”
Another comment was from KNAK Salt Lake City radio manager Bill “Daddy-O” Hesterman who promoted the Beach Boys said “the song was inspired by an incident involving Shirley Johnson, the station owner’s daughter. Johnson had borrowed her father’s 1963 Thunderbird, which had a University of Utah parking sticker, ostensibly to go study at the University library. Instead, she went to a drive-in theater. When the deception came to light, her driving privileges were revoked.” True or not, a “Fun, Fun, Fun” story.

Although I know much of the country has lived locked down for much of the year, Brenda and I have probably done a little more than most. She has worked in the pharmacy without much of a break and since the COVID19 vaccinations have started, has been very busy. We had planned a trip to Florida in March, but was asked to delay since Kroger Pharmacy was heavily involved in vaccination clinics. She complied and we moved our spring getaway vacation week to the end of April. So glad the weather was perfect for our vacation.
Nothing was on my schedule as far as condo or boat work since I was down in February and hauled since Encore needs new bottom paint, a new cutlass bearing and a new stuffing gland. If the weather would have turned lousy, I would have heading up to the boat since I need to get parts ordered … but the beach weather was too nice.

Either the Netgear Nighthawk R7000 router at our condo is glitchy, Xfinity is not giving my any upload speed or my Lenovo laptop is struggling to stay connected. No time to diagnosis, but I may end up chucking the router and switch to the cheaper mesh router sooner than I wanted. It is frustrating.
Half the time I ended up I ended up using my iPhone and Mint Mobile Hotspot.

On April 20th I streamed part of the the Apple event to see what was in the works for 2021. We already knew about the iPad Pro, but I was interested to know 
about the M1 iMac and Brenda uses the Apple TV for streaming (well I do to, but can comfortably jump to other devices).
According to Apple news leaker Jon Prosser, he named May 21 as the launch date for some of the products, and UK retailer John Lewis’ product page for the new iPad Pro carried copy saying, "Available 21 May 2021," as discovered by MacRumors and other Apple rumor sites. (link)
That is not to say I’m in the market to update our older devices, but as technology changes, we’ll all eventually be updating the things we use.
