Another crystal clear morning with 45ºF as the low temperature. It’s been a beautiful day here. I think the temperature maxed out at 76ºF this PM. I discovered this morning that my Mr. Filter® fuel-water separating filter will remove water from old 2 cycle fuel. My string/bushwhacker trimmer started right up for the first time this Season and I ran tankful of cutting around the stonework around here. The garden area is now ready for tilling tomorrow. I usually get a decent rock crop each Spring. It looks like I need a new battery for the rider mower; apparently it did not overwinter well.

:embarrassed: I left it outside over the Winter, but disconnected. I think it was 3 or 4 years old.
Ted- I like your redneck method for moving gravel.
Bruce- It’s almost a NWS automatic alert when there is low humidity, warm temperatures, and higher winds predicted post Winter. Most of my wet areas are finally starting to dry out.
RonJH- Thanks for the colt picture.

That oversized minnow was taking me wherever it wanted. It was far stronger than my pedal powered catamaran fishing kayak. 100’s of shovelhead sharks were schooling underneath the surface as I was merrily towed along

. Finally it was heading back into the bayou when the tippet snapped. I actually had my filet knife out to cut the line. My only consolation was that I hand tied the fly myself. It was some kind of shrimp lure. I have 3 Hunter ceiling fans. I did not know that they are no longer made

.
RNG- Good luck with the clay. I may switch to a cloth mask the next time I go to the supermarket/pharmacy. I have the weekend to decide.
Billy- I still have all my fishing and fly tying gear. My sense of balance is pretty poor nowadays, making for challenging wading, and for potential amusement for bystanders. I forget how much a MA fishing costs. I remember that they were expensive even years ago.
I hope that everyone is having a manageable day.
My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers. With some extra +’s for Drew.
