I'm currently chewing one of my CBD caramels for my back pain. Zero THC just CBD. I save the THC ones for the evening as they help me sleep.

The trades have always been a great opportunity. You can apprentice and make money while learning your trade. My buddies son graduated high school last year and is now in an apprenticeship to become a licensed line man. He will make a crap load of $$$$ in the trade. While the is schooling with apprenticeship it's nothing like going to college as its just part time and usually employer paid. For too long they have been pushing university degrees and the trades are short on people because of it. There are tons of great jobs to be had in all of the trades.

When I need to use my TM I just drop it into the water and chill with the remote hanging around my neck. ? If had one of those fancy new auto deploy jobs I wouldn't even have to get it up off my butt!!!! ?

Got the West side fascia and the SAT dishes installed. Even had time for a little fishing after dinner. It was a nice night so of course the fishing was slow. Went 3 for 5 with a couple of knockoffs. Had more hits last night when it was blowin' and rocking out there. ?

Yesterday was a resupply day so no work. Did get out fishing for a bit after dinner though. Fish were super aggressive. Lost more than I landed but it was fun. Today was a rain day so I slept in and did inside work. Roughed in the closet in my bedroom. Got the ceiling light wired in. It's a recessed housing that runs a low voltage mr16 bulb. I bypass the 110 to 12 volt transformer and go direct and hook to 12 volt DC system. It's currently running off one of my flasher batteries. I also got the lighting in the closet temporarily hooked up. They run of 5 volts DC through a DC to DC converter off the 12 volt system. Right now they are running off the battery that came in the packaging to demonstrate the light. There was a little push button on the package. Outdoor work tomorrow.

I do but when I find a good concentration of them. Last night would have been a good night for jigging but I took my jig rods out of the boat as I have been doing well downrigging. Last night they were super active and aggressive. They were coming up 30 or more to hit my spoon. Had 3 smack the cannon ball.

I'll take him out anyway. As long as he doesn't mind down rigging for lakers. As long as our schedules match up.

There's one or two in town. When you going to be up here?

Got the West end soffit completed on the main part of the roof today. Now I can put the fascia on and install my SAT dishes. Then finish the siding and trim work before disassembling all that scaffolding and moving it again.

Got a bunch of stuff done over the last week. First section of insulation in the ceiling done. Got the first bunch of soffit boards on the West side installed. And a bunch more ready to go. Got the grout done on my hearth finally. And the stove in place. Need to finish with the West side exterior before I can get the chimney installed though. Master bedroom wiring and insulation is done. Lower section of the front wall electrical and insulation done. Did I mention wiring?

You can buy hitch extensions. They are most often used on pickups with campers in the bed. I have seen them as long as 4'. I built one for my buddy and it works mint. Etrailer has a ton listed. There's a 4' bare metal one for building your own for less than $80 US.

Leafs picked up another right handed D man. https://www.nhl.com/mapleleafs/news/maple-leafs-acquire-schmaltz-from-blues/c-308351578

My dad used to have one of those land yacht station wagons in the 7 0 's.

I brought a 12 foot tinny home on the roof of my Honda Pilot. I was even able to load and unload by myself.

Didn't get much done today. Way to hot for this guy. Way too smoky as well. Pulled some more wire and put a bit more insulation in. Don't like installing it in hot weather, way more itchier when you are sweating.

I have to be Shag. I only have 32 more days of vacation!!!!! ????

Got some work done!!! ? Working on finally getting the ceiling joists all finished up. Lots still to go but it can wait. Lots of electrical rough in and insulation work. Kitchen wall. Even started the plumbing rough in. Did I mention electrical? ?

Been at the cabin since Saturday and don't have to go back to work until August 19th. For the first time in three summers I've actually gone fishing!!! Felt good and I managed to go 2 for 4 on Saturday and 6 for 7 yesterday after dinner. No big ones, just nice eating sized lakers. So here's a sunset pic!!! ??

If I remember correctly that was Blue Thunder's slip. I mated on 4 of the boats that docked there back in the day.

I ended up trading mine in at Shortwave for an LMS-350A. Got a decent deal on it with the trade in. I was the first guy in my circle with GPS.

My first good finder was an X-16 paper graph.

Sorry, no I don't know.

I have an old Rapala 50# rated digital scale that still works great and is still on the original battery. We did scale testing at the lodge one year and it was accurate to 70#s against a certified Chatillion scale.

And most importantly CAP SPACE!!!!
