This morning was gray, cool and wet. The temperature at 10:00 a.m. was 65 degrees, the sky was gray with intermittent rain falling, the wind was out of the NNE at 5-10 mph. Every now and then the low rumble of thunder could be heard.
As the day progressed, the wind picked up to 10-15 mph out of the north and at times gusted to more than 20 mph. Rain fell for most of the day, and at times quite hard. With the weather less than ideal to take Tim and Jackson out fishing, we elected to stay inside and play liar's dice and watch a movie on DVD.
Then at about 7:00 p.m. everyone fell asleep. Joe was in his room resting. Tim fell asleep on the couch at the house, while Sandy and the boys were next door at the cabin resting. I was the only one who didn't take an early evening siesta.
Eventually everyone woke up and they were all hungry, so we decided to grill some hamburgers. I also made some French fries. The burgers tasted great, even if we were eating them after 10:00 p.m. After we cleaned up we sat around the table and talked for several hours. The Coyles went back to the cabin around 1:00 a.m. and shortly there after I showered and went to bed myself.
We didn't get any fishing in today, but it was still a nice day at Leech Lake.
