Thursday's Action....Fun,Fun, Fun

Yesterday we got up and at em and got our jobs done early morning. We had lunch and then ran a bunch of errands before the big weekend kicks off. While we were running around ...Jan had three or four stores she wanted to check and I had at least three places tostop....but anyway a man helps Jan out tothe car with some gifts she had bought for back home. He is just talking away with her and is the nicest guy. Jan introduces me to him as a former D 3 football player and he is telling about all the placeshe played at while in school. He says D 3 is where footbal is at anyway for the guys are playing for the love of the game. Anyway he gives me his business card and says if we ever have any trouble around Demopolis just call him. Well I think that is a little unusual so I look at his card.....He is the mayor of Demopolis. So the woman who owns the shop is his wife and he was just stopping by the shop to check on things and gets involved in conversation with Jan and his wife...neat. So we are going to look for him on the Fourth at the parade or at the fireworks. After that we went on a boat ride on our boat with Mark and his two daughters Sarah and Nicole. Sarah is a college softball pitcher and Nicole goes to college this Fall to study to be a vet. The boat had problems because the Impeller that I had put in that leaked on the last boat ride now burnt up and was not pumping water. So on a hot day in the river with Jan driving on one engine Mark and I changed the impeller for a new one. Then things were fine. We camebackto the slip cleaned up and sat on the back deck fishing for an hor and I gave up and went to bed . We were supposed togo over to Mark's and run the trout line with him but we were too tired. The older couple that were his neighbors had taken a 30 lb cat off the line that morning.....can you say catfish sandwich....Thanx for reading along Tom
