- Took Boo fishing for the first time this morning.
- He was so excited to get his Spiderman fishing pole into use he couldn’t sit still.
- He was absolutely entranced by the process of baiting the hook. Not a squeamish bone in that boy’s body.
- No luck, but we did get some nibbles. He’s already asking when we can go back.
- Maybe someday I’ll be able to bring my own pole.
- Some of the ponds we fished have trout stocked in them. I’ll have to get that extra tag on my license.
- Even though the rain hit us hard this afternoon, I got some work done.
- Sitting under the awning of the garage, prepping fence pickets, and drinking beer are good activities to do during a driving rain storm.
- Note to self – Next time the wood pile starts to tumble down onto you, your wife, and your tools, just get the wife out of the way.
- I am, however, proud, that neither Irish Woman nor I were hurt in any fashion. Heck, I even saved the beer I was drinking while I was holding stuff back from smashing it and my radio.
- Irish Woman processed and froze 10 quarts of fresh strawberries tonight.
- She estimates that that’s enough to make 64 pints of jam.
- I think I’m going to make a few quarts of strawberry-rhubarb jam once our rhubarb ripens.
- The strawberry patch is still packed, but they should be done in the next couple of weeks at most.
- Irish Woman did ask if it would be possible to mix fresh strawberries, fresh lime, and grain alcohol to make our own infused moonshine. I knew I loved her for some good reason.
- Irish Woman surprised me with a Thai sweet chili plant that she found at the store today.
- I think I’m going to go from three to five chilis in each jar of pickles this year.
- Girlie Bear came home today absolutely giddy because she aced her computers final.
- This brings her grade up a bit in that class, and keeps me off her butt.
- Can’t fault her for effort, though. She’s put in at least a couple of hours a night studying for this class. It just didn’t click with her.
- I must admit, being asked to explain what ‘standard deviation’ and ‘statistical mean’ meant so that she could do them in Excel was a challenge. This class seriously needed a couple of pre-reqs instead of being a freshman computer class.
