The grill and dishes cleaned and put away, the Old Timer and Troutman headed to the front porch of the cabin to watch the sunset. Tomorrow was opening day for designated trout ponds and the two had plans to be on the water one hour before sunrise.

In years past, they would share a bowl of tobacco and a whiskey on the rocks as they slowly moved the rocking chairs on the porch. But since the Old Timer’s heart attack, tobacco and whiskey were forbidden.
