Well friends and readers....Murphy is really really getting on my nerves!
It is day 4 of being in Alaska and Murphy's Law of what can go will go wrong
has struck again this morning.
I tooks hundreds of photo's of our putting new poppets on the trailer,
the trip down to Homer, of our fishing trip, the big ass fish Rick caught,
the pod of 60 or so otters out at sea...
Went to transfer the photo's this morning to update the blog
and my laptop would not read the card.
After fiddling around trying to figure out what was wrong...
I had reviewed the photo's on the camera periodocically while on the
water fishing so I knew the card was good.
Looking at the card in the little card reader I realized the card was sitting
crooked ...soooo...
removed the card and reinserted it...no go...
Then I took the card out and looked at the pins on the card reader
Crapweasel...one pin was bent, looking at the 8GB card the
pin hole was damaged by it so....all of my photos cannot be
retrieved.
thankfully I did not reinsert it into my camera and do damage to the pins in the camera!
I do have a second card and card reader with me so I am in luck that way but....
Lesson learned ...my card readers are now in a hard plastic carrying case
as somehow something got into the card reader just enough to bend the pin.
First time for everything!
So the news is....
Rick caught the big fish, 48lb Halibut...I caught 2 20lb'ers ...Barret (a child) caught the
first fish of the day! We had our limit withing hours after
going out 17 miles to fish.
Faith (Freezengirl) came to the camp area on Homer Spit and picked me up last night
and will be giving me a ride up to Nikiski at some point here in the next day or so to
retrieve my car and deal with stuff up there at our land.
The original loose plan was for me to be dropped off in Nikiski
and retrienve my car, deal with the land and things but...
When one is dependant upon others for transportation and things get Fubar'd
ya go with the flow.
The guys were already a day late for the fishing trip so I did not feel it was
right to ask them to now go a total of 65 or so miles out of
their way to drop me in Nikiski.
I'm glad I didn't ask them to do this
as it was we arrived at the camp ground at 9 pm so dropping me in Nikisk.
Plus I wanted to go fishing too...
That's about it for this post....an one final thing
damn it...Murphy take a flip'n hike.
