Hello from the heart of cotton and catfish, Greenwood, Mississippi. Diverted here yesterday after we noticed that our alternator was overcharging. Nice town with very helpful people but couldn´t talk to the mechanic until today. Problem is the starter relay. We are also installing another artificial horizon, since the one I have shows that we are flying upside down. (Now I just need to talk to the Mexican FBO that sold me this one 3 months ago.) All parts should arrive tomorrow, not sure about the time for installation and weather is not promising.
Did put our time here to good use as we went out to see them harvesting catfish this morning. We waited at the fish plant until a truck was leaving then followed it to the pond being harvested. The process is called seining. They drag a net across the pond and corral them into a smaller net, then use a crane to scoop out the fish and transport them to the plant. Harvesting is based on fish size and whether the samples are on flavour or not. It was neat to see and of course we really enjoyed the catfish at supper tonight.

Hi Barb, Josh & Raul;
Nice to see fishing pictures, we still have full ice and snow where our fish are - no need to hurry hurry, unless you played in the Briar last week.
