Victory Over Crabs!

The bad news is, no paying work again today or checks from our other movie endeavors.  The good news is, Mike had a very good interview today and another tomorrow.  Send all your good karma this way that I'll finally start with the job my temp agency claims to have for me and that Mike gets a good permanent gig!

So, since the water level dropped and today was a beautiful day we went fishing again.  This time there weren't too many people already taking up the good spots on the dock and we dropped our nets.  Lo and behold, we caught eight crabs!  Fish were all over the place, but they weren't biting.  Gumbo is on the menu for tonight and the next few days!  

Now that we know what to do, it's so easy a five year old could handle it.  Step one:  Find chicken leg.  Step two:  Tie chicken leg to bottom of net.  Step three:  Lower net into water and wait 10-15 minutes.  Step four:  Pull up delicious crab slowly and dump into five gallon bucket.  Step five:  Repeat steps one through four ad infinitum, or until you run out of crab.

Well, we didn't run out of crab, but we did run out of room in the bucket.  Since eight crab were way too many to eat on our own we invited James over to indulge and watch a movie.  I gave myself crabby butt by accidentally sitting on my bowl of gumbo.  One towel and a bunch of laughing later, we got down to munching and movies.  "13 Assassins" is "The Seven Samurai" on steroids, by the way.  Not much on plot, but some pretty cool fight scenes.  

Off to bed now, I'm crabbed out and ready to sleep.  Here for your enjoyment is today's crab adventure in glorious color.
