Going fishing.  Be back later.  How about a lot later as in tomorrow.

My medical update once again is boring but today we talk to the doctor.  I should find out what she (they) have planned for me in the future.  I'll let you know tomorrow how it went.

I got back from fishing around a quarter to 12 yesterday.  I ate lunch and went immediately after that to my bed and slept for a couple of hours.  

I spent a little too long fishing.  I put in three hours of fishing which is overdoing it.  My fishing techniques from a sitting position need to be worked on. My setting the hook and retrieval of a hooked fish caused me to get skunked yesterday.  I figured out that my rod is too low to get a good hook set and when I start bringing them in I should be standing so my rod is higher.  Doesn't that sound good.  The score card for yesterday:  two fish broke off as I set the hook.  Three fish spit the hook while I was attempting to get to them to the net.  Not a good resume for my skills.  I'll know what I think I need to do next time and it will be a good test for my analyzing skills.  I had fun and Jack enjoyed being by the lake and he got quite a bit of carving done.  We'll be back to Crystal soon.  Beware you trout.
