Crab Season 07. The Kickoff!

Today was our first crabbing trip of this year. They generally start earlier south of Wye Mills MD so we went out at Easton Point at the Tred Avon River. We crabbed from about 7:30 until 2:30 and ended up with about 1 and 2/3 bushels. Not bad for the first trip. A lot of the crabs were small compared to what Wye Mills produces. A lot of them just barely made the legal size of 5 inches. We threw a lot of smaller ones back in the water. Hopefully Wye Mills and Chester River will be hot with crabs soon!

Here are a few pictorial highlights:

Laptop Party!

My brother Ben came in for our festival. We were out at mom’s where she has DSL and a wireless router. The picture below shows all three of us having a Utube party. It was a hoot!

What Would I Ever Do Without Ebay?!

I have really hit it big with Ebay lately. I reckon if I would add up the money I save on Ebay over the course of a year it would easily pay for my broadband internet cost! At least that is the way I like to look at it. Let me list a few Ebay purchase examples here:
1. My wife’s diabetic test strips at half price.
2. I got (9) 16 feet long fiberglass street light poles for 83.00 each that retail for around 300.00 each.
3. I needed a transducer for the depth finder on my boat. The part lists for around 200.00. I picked it up new on Ebay for just $13.95!
4. There is a side cover on my old chain saw that is badly cracked. I have been checking Ebay for it off and on. Lo and behold somebody is parting out that particular model saw and you better believe I added that part to my Ebay watch list! The side cover looks to be in great shape.
This list could go on and on but you get the point. My Ebay feedback rating is 100% positive with a 108 transaction total next to my ID.
How about you. Got any great Ebay deals to share?
