Not necessarily in that order..... Theresa, Amanda and Amanda's friend Lisa shanghaied me today... and it was Fun. They insisted that we go down to the Lakewood inlet of Brantley so they could swim and I could fish. The reason they call it "Fishing" and not "Catching" is obvious. I had nary a nibble, take or even a swirl, but, I go wet, (yes, I tested gravity while wading), but found out I could still cast and just practiced a bit. Was good to wet a line, even if the fish were not interested. Next weekend they want to go to Bottomless Lakes so we can do the same. I am looking forward to it. Will report when we are back. Now for the cooking part. A friend shared his recipe for grilled burgers with me. I am accustom to adding oatmeal to cheep ground meat, but, he uses instant potato flacks, 3/4 cup to the pound. Works great, extends the meat and helps them to hold together. Have about 8 of them on the grill tonight for dinner. Maybe soon we can have a fish dinner.... Or not. Hand is getting looked at at the VA surgical unit May 9th, so we will see what they say about it and when we may expect to be able to use it for something other than a paper weight. Jimi
