5 minute freewrite 2850 prompt not an economist
This is my post for #freewriters 2850 prompt not an economist hosted by @mariannewest
Back at the beginning of trout season, I found a good deal on squid, which we use in our pigfish traps in place of crabs, but it is pricey, so we usually use crabs that we catch.
I bought 3 fifty pound boxes of it for .99 cents a box.
I bought so much because my sister and I were going to fish together, and my husband would use it. As it turned out, there was not enough trout locally for my sister and me to make any money, so we quit. My husband was catching between 50 and 70 pounds when he trailered his boat to another town.
This is the last month to fish for trout, then the season closes for us until next May. Now we have a freezer full of squid and no room for sand fleas, which we need to catch, blanch, and freeze for pompano season that will start in October.
My husband wants me to try to sell 100 pounds of the squid. He has been taking a couple of packages fishing with him each time he goes and has been dumping the squid in the river.
Today I had my sister take me to the bait store in town. I asked the man behind the counter if he would be interested in buying any of it. He is not an economist, he can not buy anything. He told me the owner is on vacation for 2 weeks, so I needed to come back then.
When she brought me home, the man who we let pick palmetto berries had locked his keys in his car. It took him 4 hours to get the car opened and when he tried to start his car, the battery was dead. My sister tried to get her truck next to it so she could give him a jump, but her truck would not fit and when she backed up, she backed into a tree.
We took the battery out of my boat, but the car cables would not reach the posts, no matter which way it was turned. We set it on the ground and put jumper cables on it to his car battery, but it would not start. We had tried to have him put the car in neutral so we could push it to a place so she could jump it. He said that with the battery dead, it will not go into neutral. But the little bit of juice from my battery to his was enough for him to take it out of park and we were able to push it and get it running for him.
My husband was not here, he was finally getting his dentures, he had been 8 months without any teeth. He does not like them. I hope he hangs in there until he gets used to them, but knowing him, he won't. He already said he was taking them out to eat tonight. He has been grinding all of his food to mush. I would be excited to try to eat if I were him.

Wow! Great catch, never have I ever caught a fish that big!
!ALIVE !PIZZA I had to look up Pompano, looks friendly!
The berry man car key fiasco sounds like quite the hassle.
Give the Tree a hug for me, poor fella didn't know what hit it.
I will be be getting my top dentures in, as soon as I pull the 6 remaining on the top. I am not in a hurry, but I am certain the denturist would like to be paid soon. My condolences to your husband, I have been making soup over the past year to practice. I've got beef barley down pat, and my first chicken & rice turned out pretty good the other night! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and adventures with us, stay safe and have fun!
Thank you for commenting. That was not a very big fish for our area, about average for a trout. Pompano are good eating, they do not have a fishy taste.
This is me, these two trout are as big as we are allowed to keep.

These were caught in the ocean, they are called amberjacks

Good luck with your dentures, they are something you have to get used to wearing. I am afraid my husband will not have the patience for them.

That sounds a lot like my husband and his hearing aids. He says they make his ears itch, and voices sound hollow like people are talking down a tube. So he takes them out, and then he doesn't hear me and doesn't know what is going on.
My sister came by and was telling him he needs to make another appointment, she thinks the dentures need more adjusting. He said the top one hits the back of his mouth and the bottom one has already made a sore.
Maybe your husband's doctor needs to adjust your hubby's hearing aid.
Yes, that's what he needs. He just had it done in July, and it was great for 2 or 3 weeks. Then he began to complain again. It's difficult to get in for an appointment, but we have one later this month.
