Well I got the call at 1:30 am sunday morning that Tonia was going to have the baby 2 weeks early in newport, Where she was on a weekend trip with her mom and cousins.

So I packed a bag for Daphne, the dog and myself in a complete panic, dropped off Daphne at my brother in laws, the dog at Big Jims, filled the tank and headed to Newport.

That was the longest 2 in a half hour drive ever! I made it to the hospital at 4:30 and my son Wayland was borne at 4:52. had I drove any less than 85 the hole way I don’t think I would have made it.

Wayland Wright Thomas weighed 5 lbs 10 ounces and was 18.5 inches long. just a little guy, but I don’t think that is going to stop him from being over six feet tall. Pictures will come soon.

Spicey Summer Steel Salad (Yes Salad!)

July 24th, 2008

OK I know a salad!!!!  Well to much time sitting in the boat drinking barely pop hasn’t done much for the midsection…

So with much protest here is the tummy shrinker. Fire up the grill and pop a lite beer! While she is gettin hot(the grill not the mama your cooking for cuz chics love a guy that cooks for them) start quarting up these ingredients for the salsa.

1 sweet onion

1 jalepeno

1 peach

1 red bell pepper

1 yellow bell pepper

2 tomatoes (roma works good)

1 mango

1 mixed green bag salad store bought and what other heathly stuff you want to chop and add

You will also need some cilantro,salt and lime juice to stir into the salsa. Grill the first six on the list till a little charred and cut them up in a bowl to resemble salsa. Add the lime juice,salt,and cilantro. Sometimes i add honey to make it like a sweet and sour salsa also. Now grill the fillets(skinless) making sure to not overcook. While they are grilling grab a bowl to make the citrus dressing! In the bowl combine;

juice of a lime

1/8 cup white wine vinegar

1/2 cup olive oil

1 tsp dijon mustard(holds it all together)

pinch of salt and a splash of tabasco(optional salsa is spicey already)

1/4 cup fine chopped cilantro

1 small clove of crushed garlic

The fillet is done so put it on the salad pour on the dressing (grab another beer) and serve!!!! If done correctly she will provide the dessert…….<”))))))))><

Sweet Summer Steel Columbia Style!!!!

July 21st, 2008

A great sunday morning on the Cr with Jeff and steel was present. We anchored up in my sweet spot alongside my good budy Gary Plautz.

It didn’t take long before we tossed the hook and “BONKED” a nice little summer run. We only fished the morning but we were 1-3 and Gary was 2-3.

Our fish were mostly interested in the “Pink Floyd” custom summer killin’ spinner. Hit me up if you want to see what it is!!!!!

Sal & Kenny Mack

I’m well aware of the fact that Mr. McDonald aka…and my newly coined ‘Kenny Mac’….may very well not like being handled as such. In this case….I guess we’ll take a poll. Sal, what do you think Ken’s name should be?
