    Am chicken pecking this with the clothes pin securely in place, having so far endured 4 skunking in a row. Beat up yesterday’s farthest hole off the NE corner of the boat ramp while several others tried the drainage tile buoy. Both gravel pits ere being fished as left, the guys fishing the closer 1 said in passing that they had marked several fish on its point but none were caught ( which made me feel a little better ). So has ANY ONE actually caught anything ?

    Fished the rental dock 2cnd slip outboard atop the pile of cement blocks there in a bio- hazard suit in 8- 10 foe, nada. The heave is now 4/5ths across the mouth of the Marina. A visiting guy from Gallipolis was kind enough to share that fishing the southern gravel pit he did pretty well night fishing it including a walleye and several keeper crappies. Had no idea that the point in it was quite so eroded but apparently his map showed the remains of the reef placed there. He added he caught several big bluegills and a perch on the basin between the pit and main boat ramp. Wished him well. Tomorrow am resorting to the Mark 6 300lb WW2 depth charge with a delayed hydrostatic detonator safely offshore of course…

    No apparent luck with the depth charge, man, the fishing is really tough right now…

    Spent the day scouting, time spent in recon is is seldom wasted. To the intrepid soul fishing the southern gravel pit, likely in a puddle of not so warm water enjoying the 15mph SW wind with gusts upto 20, you have my respect and admiration ! Wish you success…

    Stopped to gaze upon the marina and gravel bar as well as the main boat ramp. Several gulls diving repeatedly in the draft off the NE corner there but too brisk to seriously attempt to give it a cast, although casting with the breeze should’ve gotten some extra distance…

    Now am tasked with completely gutting our bathroom and the shower to bare studs and sub siding. Have committed to the Sanctuary of the commode which shall not be unavailable despite the rest of the room closely resembling an active war zone or natural disaster site. And YES ! It IS possible even if ungodly expensive to Roman engineer a residential bathroom ! Am seriously thinking of cement boarding the whole @#$& thing just for the enjoyment of doing so. Her jaw literally fell open in disbelief at the cost of an imported Italian basin, she wasn’t buying it, literally. It’s the little things that make a temple…

    Have sincere respect and admiration for the not inconsiderable time and effort required to properly and safely install said outdoor play station, have the utmost confidence in your abilities to do so but on the good side you won’t be constrained with keeping a fully functioning and on demand toilet up and running during your effort ! Am almost willing to trade projects…

    While not completely finished with the former bathroom, having only completely gutted, rewired ( 2 new GFI plug ins, 2 new lighted switches, a new high volume shower fan/ light ), removing a previously leaking and beautifully fully self frosting over ( winter time only, thankfully ) exterior window and successfully boarding its hole up as well as completely insulating that wall, leveling the old tub she insisted on keeping, as well as installing individual shut off valves for said tub/ shower and a new hot/ cold 2 knob valve body, securing the previously loose shower pipe and then hanging green/ blue board rather than the cement board would have rather used next to the tub, the muddying the whole thing, every @#$& seam apparently she got tired of having to do dainty things in the still unfinished and still wreckage strewn area closely resembling the Stalingrad battleground. She has decided my muddying and sanding efforts closely resemble those of a ten thousand strong herd of bison running at full gallop across a marshy area to put it politely. When politely challenged she did indeed do a fairly decent corner but the tape ( personally insisted on mesh, but hey, what do I know, right?) wasn’t having it and alas didn’t docilely adhere and stick, instead reading up a considerable distance on the 1 side. So, she’s hiring the rest out… i yield to her decision
