Day 57 - 308 Days to go
3 Days until March 1
Base Camp Coffee of the Day: Highlander Grogg (butterscotch rum)
Today is another of those days where the resort adventure will take a back seat to the "House Selling Adventure". With 60's in the forecast, we are heading up to the house to make a few last minute repairs to satisfy the inspection report. But so far so good. We will miss the place. We lived there for 26 years and raised three kids there. It was our home but it felt like a resort cabin. I suppose the influence of our taste in rustic lodge décor touches everything in our lives to one degree or another. The house was no different. So a few little fixes and it should be done.
We are finally at the place where the first order of the year can be placed for fishing tackle and bait. The fishing never stops down here but the tackle shop business certainly does slow down during November through February. Last weekend was the indicator that people are ready to get back at it seriously though as I couldn't seem to break away from the tackle shop for more than a few minutes at a time without someone needing something. That feels good to have that rolling again.

The Last Resort Project:
I kind of hate giving up a beautiful day of working on The Last Resort project. I am really ready to get some things done there. Especially since we are in for a cold snap this weekend and potentially rain before that. But it is what it is. I let Ray (from yesterday's post) in on our plans for the property and I'm afraid I may have started something that will be difficult to slow down. He thrives on that kind of stuff and is ready to jump ahead of me at almost every level. HOWEVER. I know that crappies will be biting around the docks pretty soon and that will be the only place I'll be able to find him for a while.
