The weather forecast was correct. We had over two inches Wednesday night and Thursday morning. The trenches for the bulkhead tie-backs filled with sand and water. Today they came back and started over. This crew was primarily digging holes next to the bulkhead so they could drill holes through the wall for the rods.

Jerry, Otis and I went out when the rain quit yesterday. We found some trout near marker 16 but only one keeper. Today Jerry and I went out and found the trout right at sunset. I got two nice keepers using Gulp near the Goose Island protection wall. We took the trout to Crab N and they did nice things to those trout. Otis and his wife went back to Hog Island, but didn’t do any good. The water temperature was 58 degrees.

When Jerry and I got back, Chris told Jerry that today was Jerry’s last day. They are going to do the landscaping in house beginning next week. Jerry had raised his rate $500 a month and Chris said that was too much.

Pat Hartman gave us a bid for $500 for labor to tile our kitchen and entryway. He is going to start Tuesday.
