Continuing Keto....

     We had another fantastic week at Birch Bay. Steve got his big boat prepared early in the week to fish in Canadian Waters for the first time. He was a little nervous about it because he had no idea how far he would take his boat out before being vulnerable regarding fuel. The boat did exceptionally well. He traveled out to Point Roberts from the Blaine boat launch, trolled for several hours for salmon, and returned to the bay in front of our little house, where it is moored. He did all this using less than half a gas tank, so now he feels he can go further out.  He's very excited about continuing to fish in Canada because he can catch more salmon and lingcod, which we both love! He only caught one small lingcod on Sunday but will try for more next week. His brother returned Saturday to fish with him, and I'm happy he did. I don't want Steve to go out alone, and I'm not a good fishing partner. Steve found somebody to go out with him next week and I'm pleased about that. Our Stevie is going to come and visit at the end of the week, so Steve and he are going to be able to go out fishing together. I'm sure they'll have lots of fun. We're so anxious to see Steve again! In the meantime, Steve's still bringing in crab daily. The crab pots remain in the bay, and he brings the crab in the evening and then rebaits them to return the next day. He loves his life here, and I hope he can spend many more years fishing and crabbing with the boats he managed to make seaworthy. He's such a competent guy.  I've started working on my biographies of some of the people who decided to engage themselves in the January 6th insurrection. Their cases are very sad, and most understand that they shouldn't have participated. However, a few remain committed to the idea that they were doing the right thing even when faced with prison! How can people be so ignorant? I cannot imagine anyone thinking they had the right to do this! I'm still in awe of the ignorance that manifested on January 6th and continues to this day despite their convictions.  Many of the sentencing trials are yet to come! It's amazing! I'm very excited because my granddaughter Kayla and her little family are coming to visit in October. It'll probably be rainy and cool, but I hope we'll have a few nice days while they're here.  Kayla has visited here before, but not as an adult.  It will be great to spend time with her little family!  We're still having lovely, 100% keto-friendly meals. I'm harvesting tons of tomatoes, and we're using our green chili, the occasional squash, and the crab. I'm still not gaining any weight, but I'm also not losing any, so I'll see how things go over the next two weeks.  I know I am healthy, but I still want to reach my goal.  Hopefully, with the doctor's help, I'll figure it out.
