Sunny Day!(Found a Lifejacket)

     Yesterday, I had a day off, because it was Sunday, and I forgot to Blog. Yesterday, I just sat around, but I did go kayaking with Uncle Art on the lake next to the house. It was fun, they are really easy to push across the water. For dinner, yesterday, I had 2 hotdogs, then we played "Right Left Center" which is played with 3 dice. It was fun, we each got 3 quarters, and we would rool dice to see if we had to put the quarters we had to the left, right, center, or we got to keep it.

     Yesterday, Aunt Pennie got me a soft Pretzel for me to eat with my new mustard. It was very good! Here is a picture.

     Today, I didn't have a day off, I think Uncle Art will have the Boat get worked on Wednesday, so I can have a day off that day. Today, I got up at 4:30 AM, like usual. I made a sandwich, packed some pretzels, cherries, and 2 waters in my lunchbox. I also brought sunscreen because I have a huge sunburn on the back right of my neck. I didn't have breakfast, I wasn't that hungry. We drove down to the Wharf. We loaded 10 new traps onto the boat, then we were off.

     It was sunny the whole day, with no clouds, so I used a lot of sunscreen. It was SPF 70 so it was going to work good. We hauled about 100 traps today. It was all easy, single traps, close to the islands, not in the middle of no-where. We had no Herring, so we used all Rock Fish for bait. Herring is really expensive now, so we just used Rock Fish. 

     While we were hauling traps, Uncle Art found a Life Jacket that came up with one of the traps that we hauled. It was red, and not that bad of condition. Here is a picture.

     We finished all of the traps at about 11:30 AM. It was pretty early. We had to wait in line to go park the boat and unload the lobster, but there was only one boat ahead of us. We were done and I went to wait in the truck. We drove home and I took a shower, and by the time I got out of the shower, it was 1 PM.

     Tonight, we might order Dominoes pizza to the Kaeg store.
