We had a good turnout for "coffee and donuts" yesterday.  Both the women and men filled the tables.  I missed the last one so I passed on going fishing with the two Bobs.  I also wanted to rest up for our trip Monday.  We sat around for quite some time talking about different things and I enjoyed the company.  I got to know more of the men camping here.

The two Bobs went fishing and did well.  Both caught fish in the double digits (around a dozen each) and had a good time.  I'm really happy for Edgmon since he has to overcome his handicap of macular degeneration.  He can't see the fly but has adapted to watching the line and has an idea of where the fly is on the water.  To catch a dozen or so fish using a dry fly is really doing good for someone with his condition.  I'm rally happy for him.

I doubled down on soaking my old flies in hydrostop. I'm hoping they will float longer.  I ran out of of the liquid and need to buy some more so I can finish the job today.  I might even tie some flies today.  The "teterbaetis" is working so the supply needs to be increased.  I also need to repack a bag for tomorrow.  I've got way too much in it right now.  I want to clean it out and basically take only a rain coat, fly box and needed materials.

Health update.  Things haven't changed.  I'm still feeling good.  I've been able to fish for 2 to 3 hours standing without sitting to rest.  Each day is a blessing and I thank the Lord for the day.
