Daughter and I went fishing today at Tingley Beach. I have a long history of not having any luck at fishing.
Then one person kept casting his line in a diagonal across our area. My line got caught on his and he acted irate. I stayed cool. Then my line got caught on someone else's. When it was untangled I threw my rod down in frustration. One man started to nicely correct me. I explained my frustration. Then he offered to teach my daughter some tricks. He had several fish he and his granddaughter had caught, so I said yes. He taught us both. Ten minutes later she had caught her first fish. Ten minutes after that she caught her second fish. The second was small but the first was huge! She wanted to let them both go. The man who taught us wanted the first one, so he kept it. The second I did let go. She likes catching them but doesn't want to seriously injure or kill them.
I felt bad. She asked if we could kill the first one quickly to stop it from suffering. He said no, wanted to keep it alive I think until he got home. That upset her, though she didn't make a big fuss about it.
She was much happier when we let the second one go. Someone asked to keep that one but I ignored them and let it go, any way.
After I dropped her off this evening, I went by Home Depot and Lowe's and picked up some supplies. Unfortunately I should have written numbers down. I still forgot a couple of bags of concrete. Oh, well. Need to go that way to get my hair cut this week so can stop along the way then. I did get mostly enough supplies for the first section of the fence and to get the cameras on the roof.
So, I have a pretty busy week or three ahead of me. Wiring, building fences, installing security cameras, turning the plastic barrel into a compost tumbler.
Actually, it's going to be a busy spring and summer. I have a ton of projects to work on. And most of the resources to do them. Though I have a lot of concrete and stone work ahead this year.
