PONDERING CORE ESSENCE
NUMENON |
Somehow, I overlooked the tenth anniversary of this endeavor. But I recently realized I've been at this now for 11 years! Here's the proof: numenon.blogspot.com/2012/05/welcometo-my-new-blog-numenon.html. This is just a simple recognition of this, if only for continuity of effort! I am not really sure why this started, and I'm not really sure why I continue, other than it seems to be an appropriate and uplifting activity for me. I certainly appreciate the quiet time involved, and I do get to experience good things multiple times as I continue to Anticipate! Participate! and Elaborate! My recent donation of Numenon has completed a circle of sorts for me, and I'm ready for another revolution. I hope for an improved version of this last cycle, but I'll take whatever I get. Meanwhile, there's too much "I" in my writing, and "I" am not all that interesting. There's work to be done! Pondering the questions of core essence and finding meaning in unexpected ways

All good things come to an end, and I recently said farewell to Numenon. Two homes, two jobs, two boats, too much! The last few years of lack of use and outdoor storage have been tough on her, and with no real prospect of getting her back into shape, on the road and fishing the way I want her to fish, I simply donated her to a charitable cause. It was a quiet end to an important aspect of my life, but there should be good things to move on to when I am ready. Meanwhile, amybaby22 (perhaps the second best purchase of my life) is fishy, agile and doing it for 2023! I'd like to thank all the family, friends and acquaintances that joined me on adventures over the years. From familiar, small bass ponds to the wondrous, open expanses of the Great Lakes and Lake St. Clair, we had a lot of fun and shared some beautiful experiences. I grew as an angler, but more importantly, I think I grew as a companion, and Numenon was a common thread that held us together. Pondering the questions of core essence and finding meaning in unexpected ways It was quite a day-trip from Maine, and I put a lot of miles on the skiff, too, but I recently targeted, chased and caught my first striped bass of 2023. Upper Narragansett Bay treated me well enough, and I saw a lot of Rhode Island like I'd never seen it before. I encountered no real issues, and even caught some drag pullers! And these were my first-ever self-guided Rhode Island striped bass! When I didn't find what I expected (open water bass busting on big baits), I went to back to basics, and relied on moving water to concentrate any present bass. This worked in multiple locations and validated my approaches on some new water. The skiff was awesome! I covered a record number of miles in a day while staying comfortable and dry, and when I chose my location, I used the new trolling motor's "Spot-Lock" feature to effectively and efficiently hold me in place. The season has started auspiciously, and I know there are plenty of good things ahead. Let's go find out! Pondering the questions of core essence and finding meaning in unexpected ways |
