While I definitely got some good beach time in today 🏊 it’s been quite busy with work, having spent more than half of the day working and that doesn’t include the unbilled time this evening sending emails to clients 📧 for sign off. But it’s been nice.

Set up the hammock tonight and the colored lights at camp 🔥 and had a small fire for a while. But it’s pretty dry. I was going to go fishing 🎣 this evening at Mason Lake but there was some thunder ⚡ and lots of little work things to do.

Tomorrow I want to take down camp relatively early and get out on Mason Lake to do some fishing 🎣 and then maybe Lewey Lake. I will also need to get ice. Then assuming that I can get the campsite I want with the good cellphone reception 📶 I’ll set up there for the next three nights. Then on Wednesday night I might go up to Horseshoe Lake although not set in stone. I remember having good reception up there years ago.
