Mary MacADNski: It was the first sunny day in a couple of weeks so everyone was happy.

Mary MacADNski: They're laughing at my jokes, Richard. I've got a few good ones.

Mary MacADNski: I had just told them a couple of jokes.

Mary MacADNski: Earl and I had each dropped by to watch Scott work. I told a few good jokes.

Mary MacADNski: The Skiffle Sessions is one of my favorite albums. I have 644 songs that I can choose from and add two more to that number each day. I have many many thousand in my music files and listen to music all the time if I am not sleeping. Then I dream of music.

The season starts on May 1st so no dinner yet.

Mary MacADNski: Yes, it has been declining in this area for several years and with the large increase in fuel costs, it will be tough. Usually a couple fishers per year give up and it may be more this year if the catches don't improve.

Mary MacADNski: This is very true, Astrid. Scott's boss was in the building behind us and probably thought Scott was goofing off but his hands never stopped working.

Mary MacADNski: He is. he's the local trapper - the go to guy if you have squirrels or raccoons. We've been friends for years. I have him in for tea and we talk about wildlife and fishing. He brings me fish.

Mary MacADNski: A blond pushes a BMW into a gas station and tells the mechanic it died. After working on it for a few minutes, it is idling smoothly.

"What's the story," the brunette asks.

The mechanic replies, "Just crap in the carburetor."

"How often do I have to do that?"

Mary MacADNski: Thanks, John. I've known both of these men for over twenty years and yes, they're characters.

Mary MacADNski: Earl drops off fish to me. He retired his lobster business - his son has it. Scott works for someone.

Mary MacADNski: Lets hope the traps and crates fill this year. We've had poor catches here on the southeast.
