I haven't drank bud light since my college days. Can't do it anymore but toss some Coors Lights in there and I will be there with you.  :tup: I gave up all fluids but water for lent and have had beer staring at me every time I open the fridge. Only a few more days!

Good luck clamming. Fun times!

It is tough for sure. Sucks to sit down to a nice venison tenderloin, green salad, taters and water. A nice cold beer would wash it down much better but denied. Soon though!

Where ya digging?

Good luck. Lots of good memories growing up of big family outings. We used to go over to Iron Springs and there would be 20+ people. We would all get our limits and then do an assembly line of cleaning them. What a process but lasting memories for sure.

cleaning does suck but with just the wife and I going it won't be bad.  And the times for digging are great, plenty of time to drink beer and cleaning after noon.

Very windy and rainy for the first hour of digging, then it mellowed out a bit.  30 clams in 30 minutes. Cleaning and beer drinking time !!!
