Now that is what I call making lemonade out of lemons.
You go uncle!!!
Wow! That's a lot of water!!! Looks like he lives in a gorgeous area though. Hang in there Uncle Cy!!!
Awesome!!
Even with the flooding, what a beautiful spot to drop a pole. :)
Uncle Cy had the right idea! and He didn't have to walk far to fish !! He looks great for his age!
Now Mom, are you surprised that he was out there doing that? I'd be more surprised if he wasn't fishing!
he looks great for 90!! Lots of water though!! Hoping he will remain safe and his house won't be flooded!
betty

Go Cyrus!!! (Excellent picture!) I bet the only one on his block that doesn't complain about the flooding will be him...
Awesome idea! LOL!
Glad he's still going strong! :)
That's a great shot of your uncle, but wow...look at all of that water! I hope he and his neighbors stay safe. Will be thinking and praying for all of them.
Wow, I guess at the ripe old age of 90 ya learn to seize the moment! I do pray that he and his home will remain safe.
God bless and have a wonderful Mother's day weekend sweetie!
Thats a roth iron fence that just baraly showing in the water, meaning he must be standing on a shed of someother roof. hey if you can get around i say go for it.Age shouldn't matter. we all hope to live a long and healthy life. You go for it Uncle Cy. ( be carefull and dont fall in ) ( i wished he would wear a life jacket) Y.O.P Junyah
I LOVE IT!!!! It really doesn't surprise me at all that he is doing that though. I would be even more shocked if he wasn't doing that!!! He is one heck of a man!!! I love him dearly and miss him so but it is nice to see him liveing life to it's fullest!!
Great picture! Good for him!
wow..to do that at 55 would be a Godsend to me! Hopefully the mighty river will stay out of his house!
That photo belongs in the dictionary next to "awesomeness".
That's great to be 90 and to be active like this, I wish your uncle good health. The photo will become an interesting reminiscence of both the high water and your uncle's attitude.
