Saturday, May 8

845am Terri and her mom head to Tulsa to get Meg, then over to Stillwell for the strawberry festival. Had a good trip except for getting lost a couple of times. Porta potties were full and no TP, crowd was huge and mostly Hispanics and Indians, food was not fresh, but strawberries were good. Bought a flat and split it. Gave some to Meg for them. Terri home and bought stuff to make freezer jam. YUM. I got home in time to help her. Mike and I to the lake. water was rough. I had set the minnows behind the seats and when we hit the rough waves, lost the bucket. I dived for it and got it but lost most of the minnows. My hat with my flip down magnifier went bye bye too. Never saw it. Waves were bad. Dropped a couple of brush piles and caught 21 crappie. Home around 230 to do some needed errands and yard work. Mike to do his and me home to mow the yard and fix the pool pump/filter hose. Got a truck radiator hose for $40. Couldn't believe it was so expensive. Not sure it will hold up but can't find reinforced hose at the pool places. oh well. we shall see. Mike texted he was ready when I was. Loaded up the minnows and headed over there. Back to the lake and the wind was pretty much gone. Waves were pretty calm. Very nice evening. Fished a couple of spots and pulled in some nice crappie. Got 5 more. Home and put the fish on ice. Mike will clean them in the morning. Home to help Terri make strawberry freezer jam. Mom and Terri had stopped by Bass Pro Shop in Tulsa and bought me a replacement magnifier. $22. Couldn't believe it was that expensive. Will take much better care to not lose this one..bummer. They ate at Los Cabos and brought left overs home. I ate Terri's and Mom told Terri Mike ate hers. Good day.
