Met up with Navy Davy this morning for a trip to the flea market and coffee. ND had done it once again. He replaced a lost knob on my old Freedom 3!

I have run out of toes and fingers trying to count the number of times ND has fixed one of my old Garretts! Flea market was a bust save for a selection of fudge that I took home to the Hunny Bunny who was heading out with her sisters to a girl's Super Bowl party. I knew then that I'd have some peace and quiet to watch the Panthers dismantle the Broncos.
Had to go a digging solo has ND had a massive honey dew list to undertake. Started on the shore line with the Pro and netted a few pennies and fishing lures. Then it was off to a school yard to try my luck as I figured the ground would be soft enough having had a few days of rain and high temperatures. Out came the Freedom 3, new lesche tool and a new digging jacket that one could zipper up, didn't have holes in the pockets or a big rip in the sleeve. Oh joy. Anyway after the first 3/4 inch of frost it was a breeze to dig the plug. mind you my arms felt like lead pipes after the 5th hole but ended up 6 shy of quota. A nitro moment turned out to be a white metal heart....this time of the year I'll take it!
