Gosh - what a beautiful night.
Finally got a break in the weather - for a while there, I thought I
was living in Seattle what with all rain and cloudy weather. Got out the Celestron and did a little star gazing for a while. Nice and peaceful, spotted some sats - general looking around. Really nice night - even started seeing some lightning bugs which is a first for this year. |

I can think of a couple things but they can't be right. Oh, by the way, it's 76*/95% humidity here in central Fl, just like it is every night this time of year. I wouldn't trade it for snow though. |

I took the boat out on San Francisco Bay this morning. Got up early and launched at the crack of 10 am. Trolled for halibut and stripped Bass. No joy, so went over to San Bruno Shoals. A high spot between Oakland Airport and San Fran airport. in the middle of the bay. Anchor fishing, landed a couple small Mud Marlins (Bat Rays) and a few Smooth Hound sharks. Was fun. Another boat at the ramp lost a 7' 7 gill shark at the boat. They are a good tasting shark. Afternoon winds came up, and with the offshore fog bank, cooled down to maybe 65. Went in, clean boat, and headed off to welding class. Life is good. Was maybe 80 and 20% humidity at home. |

The corn field is really late this year - by now it's usually hip high, barely touches my knees. But the hay - oh my gosh am I getting a second cut - you wouldn't believe the quality of the alfalfa/timothy mix the leasing farmer planted last year - it's amazing. I'll bet we're going to get 1,000 - maybe 1,200 bales this year on second cut, with some heat I'll get a third and probably a fourth cut off the fields. |

We're having quite the debate back East about sharking. There's some alarming evidence that the normal numbers of dogfish are decreasing along with some other species we see off the islands this time of year. Apparently doggies are popular in Britian for use in fish 'n chips - who knew. There's been some suggestion that the makos, blues and sand sharks normally visiting the environs by this time just aren't there and it's been getting worse every year since about 2004. |

The guy who leases my fields generally gets three, but the second cut is almost three weeks early this year. Good quality too, but then it's a second year plant - no weeds either. With the corn, he did a no-till plant this year - might not have been the smartest thing he could have done given what happened this Spring, but it's a time saver and much more efficient. |

This is from Wikipedia: "The American cockroach (Periplaneta americana), also known as the Palmetto Bug or Waterbug,[1] particularly in the southern United States, is the largest species of common cockroach, and often considered a pest." Note that they're 'often considered a pest'. That would imply that they're often *not* considered a pest. I guess that's 'cause some folks down there use them for watchdogs. -- John H "HONK - if I'm paying your mortgage!" |

The corn field is really late this year - by now it's usually hip high, barely touches my knees. But the hay - oh my gosh am I getting a second cut - you wouldn't believe the quality of the alfalfa/timothy mix the leasing farmer planted last year - it's amazing. I'll bet we're going to get 1,000 - maybe 1,200 bales this year on second cut, with some heat I'll get a third and probably a fourth cut off the fields. Call up Mrs. E. She will reverse any 401K losses. |

Another boat at the ramp lost a 7' 7 gill shark at the boat. They are a good tasting shark. We're having quite the debate back East about sharking. There's some alarming evidence that the normal numbers of dogfish are decreasing along with some other species we see off the islands this time of year. Apparently doggies are popular in Britian for use in fish 'n chips - who knew. There's been some suggestion that the makos, blues and sand sharks normally visiting the environs by this time just aren't there and it's been getting worse every year since about 2004. We can send you some Blues. The most overfished are the Threshers. Most off our coast are juniors. So the teenagers are wiped out a lot. The Smoothhounds are about 2-3' and not edible as far as I know. The 7 gills and the Leopard sharks are very edible. Leopards have to be 36", so that keeps a large population reproducing. Must are C&Red. Fun to catch a 20-80# bat ray. |
