It is Wednesday morning and I will be leaving tomorrow afternoon. I am ready to go, and everything at the house is finished, except for finishing the battery equalization. That is going a little slower than I thought, with the 15 hours of charging only getting it up to 1235 on cell one. Cell three is up to 1255, but I think I will need another 10 hours to reach 1270 on all of them. I will charge the batteries for a few hours tonight and then equalize them as best I can in the morning. I would like the batteries to last a long time since I am hoping to stay in the hollow for at least five more years.
I fished my favorite spot on Wolf Creek yesterday and worked hard to get 3 bass, one a smallmouth. The water was very low and I think the hot weather made the fish less active.
Defrosting the little refrigerator proved very easy as there was almost no ice buildup.

I had to resolve a couple of problems with my computer and the help desk at RU displayed their usual expertise. The battery on my new machine is supposed to last over eight hours, and that will be great on my summer trip out west. My old computer battery was down to about an hour.
I decided to head for my favorite spot on Wolf creek and it turned out to be a fine decision. I fished a couple of hundred yards and caught three rainbows and three redeye bass. It was a lovely evening.
I have been looking into going to Europe next summer and there is one 35 day cruise that starts and ends in Boston that sounds very appealing. If I do that then I won’t have to worry about any other travel arrangements and my stuff will be in one room the whole time. I love to plan so I will think some more on it.
