Did some work on my boat yesterday. *Made two BIG cleats to store two hanks

a new hardwood place on the gunnel to attach it. *Dried up some stuff I
didn't even know got wet, like the inside of one tackle box. *(Glad I caught
it before it fermented for a good while.) *Using this time to get some
fixups done. *Going to the boat store this afternoon with my gift

Been sunny here, in the low 50's today. *Plan to start fishing soon. *Going
to make a cover out of two of those brown tarps from HD, as I have an
upholstery sewing machine.

Enjoyable just putzing around. *The eagle is back to the cottonwood less

fidgety now, and doesn't fly off so quickly now. *Must have been an
