Man what a great day I’ve had! I got up before five am in order to beat the sun up on the lake. We got close. Before heading out I made another microwave biscuit and guestimate it at 7 PPS with a nice hot cup of coffee (I remembered to nuke it to make it hot and stay warm longer). I also made a really really nice tortilla roll to have out on the boat: spinach & herb tortilla, honey roasted turkey breast (sliced), vine ripened tomatoes, & left over roasted bell peppers. I also packed more carrots.
I braved fishing with two poles today. The second pole was a great big PITA!!! It had a special tougher stronger line. This is better to catch catfish, but it’s a heavier weighted line. This means that the liver wasn’t heavy enough to get a good cast so I had to do this crazy pull the line out past my arms, swing the line, and release the pulled out as the bait flings forward. I know reading this doesn’t make any sort of sense, but there’s really no way to better explaining. If I knew how to work the darn video camera dad got us for Christmas last year I could post a video!
Speaking of camera we saw a coon’ out on the 23rd and he LOVED the chocolate covered donuts Wal Mart! Dad tossed him three and he was just too freakin’ cute!
Back to the fishing…. I also learned (really relearned b/c I was taught last year) how to put a hook on the line. I hope I remember next year. It’s nice to know how to re-hook it myself so I don’t have to wait on the guys to be available. We caught 16 today. And I caught a large brim fish. I was undecided as to whether I wanted to keep it or not but while Aaron was removing the hook he caused it to bleed out, which means it was technically dead, so we kept it. I contributed more today, I caught four! I didn’t catch the first, most, or biggest :’(.
Once we got back home dad looked over my retirement paperwork and helped me choose how to distribute my funds.
On the way home Aaron and I fantasized about his restaurant plans. He actually started to take notes! I really wish we had more income or other ways to gain financial funds to do a start up. It’s a GREAT idea.
At home I found my b-day present from Ross: Bambi the new limited edition.
I also tried the new shower today. Aaron and I showered together, nothing kinky, just made more sense: we both needed to shower, it saves the water pressure to do it in one, and I didn’t want to wait on him to shower, nor did I want to wait on him on me. The shower head was nicer than I thought it would be. I’ll admit it was okay, but definitely strange since there isn’t a door. It also wasn’t that great if you had to stand out of the water, towards the back, while your partner does their business in the water.
For dinner I at a bowl of lettuce greens topped with carrots, bell peppers, sprouts, and our left over mango avocado pico with a lime dressing. DH had a pizza. Now we are watching our new show. That’s it.
High today: catching more fish today than yesterday.
Thanks for listening again…
