However, this year the Ranger had another major issue. My mechanic took a stab at fixing the problem. He got the truck working properly for a while. However, when the problem recurred, he c...

I think we endured more ninety-degree days this summer than I can ever remember. During these heat waves, I spent the bulk of my time in the air-conditioned “great indoors,” reading current thrillers or re-reading favorite fly-fishing books. Donna was hooked on the Olympics, but I watched very little of the televised coverage. Truth be told, I was just putting in my time till the weather finally moderated. When it did, I was able to resume trout fishing. However, I was extremely careful that I did not fish in streams where the water tem...
