Friday chores accomplished

Important things I accomplished today:
I took the catfish out of the iced cooler and got them all filleted and placed in a freezer bag.

I've been having some issues with my trailer lights so I decided to tackle that problem. I checked the main ground wire and removed it from the trailer, sanded the contact edges and reinstalled. Same problem was still occurring so I needed to investigate further. With the left turn signal on, both taillights were flashing the turn signal. ??? Guess it's up to the person behind me to guess which way I'm turning. I traced the ground wire through the wiring harness to an old splice I had made and discovered a loose connection. Repaired that and now all is well and my trailer lights are nice and bright and now you don't have to guess which way I plan on turning . Brake lights,running lights,and turn signals are now working.

The side plate on my newest reel was loose. Probably from all those huge fish I've been catching recently. I got out my specialty screwdriver kit and tightened the screws and that is another problem solved.

I then decided to re-spool the reel that the line broke on while reeling in a fish yesterday. I got out my handy dandy line removal gizmo that rapidly removes the old line from the spool. Hey, it's a toy I own so I decided to use it. I then tied a perfect Albright knot to connect the backer line I left on the reel to the new 17 Lb Trilene I was using to re-spool. Oops, I somehow forgot to get the line under the bail so I had to cut the knot and try again. Success this time.

Now it's time to go to Krogers and purchase 35 gallons of gas with my 60 cent/gallon discount. I've got four of my 5 gallon cans in the bed of the truck and with the F-150 at half a tank that should top out at my 35 gallon limit on the discount.

I'll probably stop at the Adult Beverage Store and get a bottle for the Mrs. and one for myself. Since she mixes her bourbon with coke she doesn't get the good stuff.

So, how was your day?
