Three Score and Ten [Now Thirteen

Three Score and Ten + Day 54

The fishing trip spoken of on Day 52, Let me say I have had better trips. My years must be showing. I drove one plus hour, when only then did I remember I did not have my fishing poles with me. Yikes, What to do Drive back an hour to get the poles OR As I remembered there is a Big Box store Close by. So I went there and bought another fish pole. I only have about 20 poles the wife most likely knows the exact count. So I decided that I will make the best of a bad situation and try to fish with an open face reel, It was cheap also helped with the decision. I never learned the art of an open face reel. I grew up using closed face reels and have used closed face my entire life. At any rate It was another bad choice. I fought with that reel all day. You reel-ey can not teach an old dog a new trick, Or how to use an open face reel. On the positive it was a very nice weather day, little wind with sun. I did manage between curses and laughs too get two small Walleyes and two small perch. I did not get skunked and I hope I learned a thing or two. I put the Kayak away for the season today.

And so on to day 53-54, The painter still has not showed. So I am painting. I have gotten one porch finished with one to go. It is the larger porch so I hope she shows up a day or two before the cold weather sets in. I am hoping to get the boat in the water once more Up North. We shall see. It is only about 3+ hours north too the house, but the weather is two climate zones different from here, and not too the warm side. We had a fire lite in the evening last time we were up there. Today we brought in the last of the peppers, tomatoes and egg Plant from the garden. I picked up all the walking planks. Next up roto till and plant Garlic, Hopefully planting Garlic on Monday. I hope all is well with You and Yours........... Fathertymme
