Went to Pillar Point Harbor for a weekend get together. Normally the crab opener, but delayed this year. Went fishing Saturday, wind came up, and drift was 1.7 mph, so hard that get the lure down to the bottom fish. Kept one nice Black cod. Boat ran great. Was going out Sunday Morning, but as I was finishing up my breakfast burrito, started raining. Heavy, soaking mist, so,closed up the camper, and put cover on but at and came home. We need the rain! Raining heavy today with some lighting. The party was great. Everybody contributes. I made smoked Yellowfin tuna collars in a cream cheese spread and a nice rum cake the wife made. Someone had lamb chops. So Posole soup, lamb chops and a nice Bordeaux wine. |

It was supposed to rain today but it cleared off and we declared a mutiny. We took our Wednesday boat ride today. We may go tomorrow too. Beautiful evening and I spent a while in the pool. Busy day tomorrow. I am putting in a little extra capacity in my septic field. I found a guy (school teacher) with a mini excavator who will dig the hole for $250-300. A local trucker is dropping off 5 yards of gravel about noon (half in the hole and half for my trailer parking spot) and I will start spreading it to see how that goes. I may declare another mutiny and get the guy up the street to send me some labor. After that it is set the chambers, pipe and backfill the hole. |
