Where did the OFM find elevation maps for the USA? It was at
this web site http://www.maps.com/maps.aspx?nav=RM&cid=680,692,693,1047
. Yes you have to work at it a little but the information is there waiting for
your efforts.
Bright and early this morning they were hard at it. It being
the yard work. It being a great reason to live in an RV. This was taken through
the screen and window glass in the kitchen.
The OFM really likes having yard work a thing of the past in his life.
Different little chores were done and finally later in the
afternoon the Teams headed on down to the water for some fishing. The new
header is one of the places we fished.
We have some moderately high boots that are getting a try
out to see if they will be sufficient for our needs. The hip waders we have go
all the way to our crotch. However by the time the water gets a bit over the
OFM’s knees his balance is too iffy to be safe using them. We were hoping these
new boots would work out well. Here is the OFM ready to do battle with large fish.
Since deeper water is out of the question due to his
balance, these will let us get out past the long shallow sections of area along
the shoreline. As you can see in the pictures there is a lot of shallow water
in some areas.
Yep the OFM did find a soft spot and get some water over the
top of the new boots. However the main purpose is not to stay dry but to keep
the hydroids
and jelly fish from damaging the OFM legs.
Here is the area where the Team caught six ladyfish. They were
all about 15 inches long and as usual for the species very athletic. Lots of
jumping, tail walking and racing around is their style. They hit a large silver
spoon with a short wire leader. We have not figured out how to take a picture
while handling a fish in wading depth water. Another set of hands would be very
good.
It was nice to see the large schools of mullet roaming
around the area. With lots of food fish for the table fish to eat, we should
have a great catching season this year.
Not having yard work to do is a great way of trying to have
tooooo much fun. TheOFM.
