Sweet corn harvest in the garden

today has been interesting to say the least...

Well, not much going on during the lazy hazy days of summer, but I decided I would try to shake up things some... so I went to Jake's and got the Mower, brought it back to the front of the barn and hooked up the sprayer. I added chemical and found out that the two I wanted to use will not work after adding the chemical and seeing it harden before my eyes... so yelp, started all over.. filled up the tank, went out on the road side and promptly turned over the sprayer, breaking the wand off of the hose... and getting it all over me leg... and shoes... but not to fear, I got it up right, walked about a half mile, found a piece of wire that would let me bend the hose and shut off the wand so I could finish spraying... and I went about a half mile and had a flat on the back of the tractor, since it was at Jake's I forgot to air up the back tire.. so it went flat or was flat when I started out, but I get off and on the tractor on the other side so I did not notice... it was low... so 60.00 dollars later, with a plug in it, i brought it to the house, unhooked the sprayer, put them in the barn and cleaned up washing off the chemical after about 4 hours wearing it... anyway... what a morning... and I am sure it will only get better this afternoon.. haha..

all things considered, not heart attack yet.. haha... My neighbor Bob Britton had his second attack last Tuesday and had another stint put in with 99% blockage to the one that was repaired... his first was in 2005 - same year as mine..

anyway.. Ann is home today so I need to keep busy to 'fool' the boss.. haha...

later... s

Lost Art of Fishing -
I'll be honest. I didn't have clue what noodling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noodling) was until I read about it online - and after about a dozen co-workers told me I had no business doing it if I ever wanted to use all ten fingers again. Last week I finally went noodling, barehanded fishing that is, at Lake Thunderbird.
We watched our noodling guides go at it first. Out came a 25 pound flathead catfish. That was followed by a smaller bluefish. They may be smaller, but I quickly learned they carry a much more powerful punch, and bite. Only the flatheads are keepers during noodling, but you really don't know what your pulling out from underneath that flat rock in shallow waters until you get your hand on it; or it gets it's teeth into you.
Case in point, after a failing to capture a flathead which I had my hand on at one point, we moved to the next rock of choice, cornered the fish in it's once sacred little home. As instructed, I put my entire arm inside the fish-formed tunnel. Before I could see or feel anything, IT decided to reach out to me instead. Bluefish hate arms being stuck inside their houses without an invitation. They let you know that by biting down as hard as they can. I didn't lose any digits, but I did lose a little skin off my right hand and some nerve to boot.
But how awesome is it that, even though the fishing pole was invented during the ancient times in Egypt, China, Greece and Rome, that the art of noodling is stll around? Too bad everyone's fingers aren't because of it.
