Wednesday, August 18

Long day yesterday but a good day. Not quite as warm as it has been plus we got over 2 inches of rain. Did not cover the boat so everything is soaked. sigh. Terri called me when she was home for lunch and the trolling motor is running. hmm. Had Dad come over and disconnect the power lead from the battery until I could get home from Tulsa. I reconnected the charger and plugged that in, then got to thinking on the way to work that the switch for on always may have gotten turned on. Checked it when I got home and it was on, so don't know what the deal was, but anyway it is working properly now. Been having to jump the engine battery from the trolling motor batteries, so need to get a charger for that. Took Terri to Braums for a burger for supper. Then called Dad to see if he wanted to fishing with me. We went to city lake Hudson. Boat ran ok. Ran it up and down the lake a couple of times but still had to jump it when we were ready to head back in. Need to really run it on a big lake to get it charged good, but will get a trickle charger anyway. no fish. Rain must have changed their attitude. While waiting on dad to back the trailer in, the finder was pinging fish all over the place in 29' of water at a depth of 5' - 12'. Go figure. I bit the bullet yesterday and called Dr's to setup appointments for my eye, knee and to schedule my shoulder surgery. Will fit that in between Tulsa projects. Just got to getrdone.
