I Was Supposed To Take Today Off

Really, I planned to take off and go do fun things today.  Well the house isn’t caught back up after the holiday, so I told myself, I’ll do a couple chores first, then I’ll go finish outfitting my boat for the coming (*) tournament season, and take the afternoon to go fishing.  I didn’t make it out of the house until after one.

When I walked in the shop I remembers I had a couple stock mold orders that were done machining.  They just needed cleanup, packing and shipping.  Okay, I’ll do that, and then I’ll just take the afternoon off to go fishing.  Maybe go throw some crankbaits in the canal out by Tacna.  I haven’t been out there in a long time.  I just finished sending the pickup request a minute ago for those orders.

Somewhere in there I chatted with the TD for YVRGC bass derbies for this season and offered to donate some CNC Molds N Stuff swag for them to give away.

As I look outside I see the light level dropping.  It’s 3 minutes past sunset.  If I jumped in the Jeep or truck right now I probably wouldn’t be able to get anywhere good before nearly dark.

I took today off, and somehow I still worked all day.

(*) I’m actually planning to fish a few tournaments this year.  Okay, derbies.  I’m going to go do some donating at the YVRGC derbies.
