Did some work on my boat yesterday. Made two BIG cleats to store two hanks
of 100' each anchor rope. Boy, does that stuff birdnest no matter what you
do. Cleaned up some wiring. Made a cradle for the troll motor, as well as
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
certificate for $50, plus another for $10 if I spend the fifty.

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
than 100 yards from my shop, and he keeps an eye on things. He's not as
fidgety now, and doesn't fly off so quickly now. Must have been an
inspector in another life.
