Take me off maybe status and put me down as a for sure. I have no idea what I'll bring in the way of food, but I have to admit my deer hunting days are over, so no backstrap from me.☹️
Today is a good day to remember the folks who put it all on the line for their country. Thank you to all who have or are serving in the greatest military in the world.
I saw a pretty funny item on FB the other day. The Pharma guys were all congratulating each other for creating a new disease and inventing the cure. I swear that's what I think of every time the drug ads show up on TV with the list of side effects.
You're still eating though, so that counts for something. And Thanksgiving will be a good time for you to reflect on that when you're around your family. Hang tough you old goat.
You're thinking the right way. I had an English Lab that was about 70 pounds. Quite a dog, he spent a fair amount of time with me at Schell (and a lot of other places) before there was such a thing as 4 Rivers. Trained him off the dock at Izaak Walton. I'll never forget Dexter. Words of caution: When you take on a dog it's 24/7/365.
Finley River has come up maybe a foot but it's still low and gin clear. NWS says standby for the downpour and the radar seems to support that forecast. 2 to 3 inches overnight is their forecast.
We've gotten a bit over 4" since this started. It's come so gently that the low water creek that runs along Smyrna Road is still dry. Springs are getting recharged though so it will probably run a little later on, unless the downpours come and give it a jump start.
We've had about 3 inches this week. So far, it's been coming down nicely instead of downpour. But downpours remain in the forecast. I did take the precaution of cleaning out several leaf and stick dams from our ditches. No need to see my gravel down on the county road.
Greys are native. The red fox are all English import descendants.
Once you hear and know the Grey Fox spring mating bark you will listen for it in February and March from now on.
That's about how long my nephew lasted after we built hives, got a spinner, the outfits, everything. Beekeeping is fun, but a lot of work and filled with pitfalls that can quickly take the fun (and most of the honey) out of it.
I think a collapsed bridge indicates it was poorly designed. We don't build bridges where there aren't roads these days either.... I'll take today thanks.
