Trip Day 14 - Thursday
0610-61F/57F
0700-Bible study verse of the day: "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven."
(Mat 16:15-17)
0750-Finished my prayer and reading time. Started a new book "Disappointment With God" by Philip Yancy. I finished "The Crucifixion of Jesus" by Joseph Bergeron, M.D. yesterday.
Checked the weather for the next few days and it looks like I will end the trip in rain as it began! Today and tomorrow are fine but it begins to deteriorate late Saturday and of course is suppose to rain the day I pull the boat out. I will enjoy the remaining days of good weather.

0820-Went ashore and up the hill to fetch the remaining firewood and chair after feeding a tame looking mallard with some bread crumbs I had saved. Time for breakfast.

After cereal, toast, and O.J. I went ashore again to set up the drone to fly the area. Returned to the boat and set up for departure. Then I launched the drone to track me out of the anchorage.

1120-Arrived at Devil Mountain. Traveled 9.8 miles. It is a nice site last visited by me in 2019 on a Leisure Island rental houseboat. Haven't decided when to make the hike to the top of the mountain. Will catch up with a few chores first.

1250-Finished dishes and hauled firewood up to the fire ring. I will take up one more arm load then make a decision about the climb.
1530-Killed the afternoon transferring video and pics to the backup external hard drive. While downloading I split a few more pieces of wood.
Made a snack of baguette cheese crisps accompanied by white wine. As a result, I will hold off on dinner.

1700-Listened to my audio book, prepared the fire, then returned to the boat to get dinner ready.
1745-Grilled a burger to have with baked beans, chips, and a cold beer.

2125-Came in from the fire. A curious chipmunk harassed me as I watched the fire. A full moon is rising in a clear night sky in calm winds. An ideal night to stay up, stargaze, and soak it all in, but I need rest for the climb tomorrow. To bed!
