Wednesday - September 3

Bob: Got up and went to help Karl with putting his firewood away. We were stacking the 'mill ends' he bought from the local lumber mill. Mill ends are the ends of boards the lumber company cut off and cannot use. We would stack pieces about 2 feet long and either 6 or 8 inches wide. Karl made a rack that would hold a stack 2 feet wide, 8 feet long and about 3 feet high. Once we stacked it then he would run his chain saw down the middle of each stack. He ended up with 8 stacks a foot wide. We did 3 loads and he did some before I got there. After we finished we went fishing, but didn't have much luck. I had 2 pike on, but they were little so I shook them off before landing them.
Got home about 4:45. We had to go to Elk Lake and get some milk to make biscuits. Milk is $3.97 for 4 liters in New Liskeard. In Elk Lake it is 6.95 for 4 liters! Biscuits were very good, especially after being made with such expensive milk.
Bonnie and I went fishing for walleye. I caught one on the first cast and we didn't get another one all night. Had a couple of bites but that was it. Fishing has really slowed down since August 10. The rain started on August 11th.
