This evening/morning I spent my night off painting my new mailbox. As the old plastic one’s door came off and has been annoying the postman sense last winter.

I’m not any great artist, and I’m sure it looks tacky and the paint will ware away eventually, I’m excited to put it out.

Luckily I was about 20ft off shore and dragged my thouroughly soaked self to shore alone with my half sunk boat. And wile I lost my cheep Walmart Knick off crocks, and my very cheep pole.

Now I just have to finish mowing the lawn, and plant the herbs I’ve been neglecting to transplant into the garden.

I hope your day is filled with less misfortune and plenty of fresh caught fish.
