Picking has been good.
Warm temps and rainy weather the last two nights, brought out the night crawlers. Odd for February. So I've "picked up" over 300 of them the last two mornings. ("picked up" meaning they were all stretched out laying on the ground) At $2.50 a doz. that's $62.50 for 3 hrs. of "squats and deep knee bends." Oh yea, you gotta count all the fun I'll have teaching them crawlers how to swim. Well worth my time.
You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.
