Going fishing today!  This has been a summer of not fishing.  Due to my condition in June and July I was not up to fishing.  Then my fishing buddies left for home and I didn't want to go alone.  Then my neighbor Jack said he'd go with me.  He doesn't fish but he carves walking sticks and actually gets more accomplished than I do.  I think he might be a jinx though because the first time he went I hooked five but didn't get any to the net.  The second time I got skunked.  Also Crystal Lake is finished for the summer.  The weeds are high and it isn't fishing well at all.

I'll be doing some fly fishing and using a spinning rod today.  I'm going with Ray in his boat and hopefully I'll catch a few.  The big ones seem to be biting right now so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Ray and I are quite a bit alike when it comes to fishing.  We both love the sport.  When either he or I hook a fish a smile comes on our faces.  I don't know but we can talk fishing or be fishing and it's like we read each others thoughts.  This has brought us close.  I know he prays for my recovery every day.  What a nice thing to do and I appreciate it.

We took our neighbors, Jack and Jacki, out to dinner last night.  We went to Grimos in Salida.  It's a very good Italian restaurant that we've only been to once this year.  I finally got my taste and appetite so this was the first opportunity to go.  We all enjoyed the meal and laughed a lot while we dined.  We made a Wal Mart run before we went to dinner as both Jack and I needed to pick up our medicines.  

I better get around as the time is catching up with me.  I'll let you know how the fishing went tomorrow.
