Friday - August 29

Bob: Out fishing this morning while Bonnie when to get a haircut. Got 1 pike in about 31/2 hours. Only had the one bite. Fishing is still slow. Only nice thing is the weather. Highs in the 60s, with sunshine and light breeze.
In the afternoon we went blueberry picking. Looking at the containers we used it looks like Bonnie out picked me 2 to 1. Glad I'm not picking berries for a living!
Bonnie and I went back out fishing after dinner. We went to Mountain Lake and trolled most of the way down the lake and about 3/4 of the way back up the lake and didn't get one bite. It started to sprinkle so we packed it in and headed back to camp. Cleaning blueberries now.
Once the logging company cuts all the trees out of an area the blueberries usually come back in 2 to 3 years. Pictures below show Bonnie picking and the area where we were.

Bonnie:  It's quite the job to wash and clean up the blueberries.  So far, we've got about 9 1/2 cups.  We have one more container to do and that will be done tomorrow.  I just looked up smoothie recipes and then realized we don't have a blender. Oh, well. There are lots of things I can do with them.  Just eating them plain is delicious.
Bob found out that most if not all of the perch will have worms right now.  I don't know why but we are told that it's the time of year for the perch to have them.  Some people cut them out and eat them anyway. Gross!

Bonnie looking for the perfect berry!
