As I drove home I noticed some bug bites, even though I hardly saw a mosquito. The next day my arms and ankles were covered with itchy welts. Black flies! I remember the swarm I went through but thought I was spared. I wasn’t but it took 24 hours for them to really show up.

Driving the round trip was 824 miles and I got 30.2 MPG in my ’93 Toyota Corolla.

I need to restock and update my first aid kit before the next trip. Mostly the items are just old.

I could use some new Crocks for camp shoes. The pair I have are wearing pretty thin.

I need to wax (or something) the zipper on my PFD. I had a heck of a time getting it to zip the last time I put it on. Maybe it is just dirty.

I need to fix my yoke. One pad is loose. I may just need to crank it tight with a wrench or I may need a bit longer bolt. I duct taped the pad in place mostly so I wouldn’t lose the nut.

I never fished at all. Never assembled my two-piece rod. I don’t mind fishing but I view it as a means of supplementing the food supply. The couple of times I considered it, I decided I didn’t want to clean a fish. I generally don’t fish for sport.
