My parents had a ginkgo tree next to their driveway. When they get mature enough to bear fruit it’s a freaking onslaught. I never parked in the driveway when it was dropping fruit.
Mine is always the same. Go every time I can. Even when I think I won't catch anything. Like a high muddy river. I kind of abandoned numbers for trophies years ago but it's still nice to have a catching day even if they're not trophies. I think this year I'll put down the big baits more and just try and catch more fish. I go long stretches without catching and sometimes that gets old.... That mentality makes it more of of a win or lose thing. Heck I had some trips this past year when I didn't even catch the target species but looking back they were really good days to be fishing. Lots of catching and action. I don't want to lose that.
My mother in law had a bird feeder at the farm right out the kitchen window. They were inundated with feral cats "dropped off" from town. As soon as a cat even looked sideways at a bird she would have it shot right away. The barn cats rarely came out and she left them alone. She said they were mousers (rats) and good to go. I'm sure they are hard on quail.
The girl next door has 3 cats she lets out to run free. I've seen them on my cameras trying to kill birds. One even jumped into the top of a shrub to get at a dove nest. I asked her if she had seen these cats around and she said they were hers. I said your cats bird eaters. She said WHAT!?. I said your cats are eating birds and I have them on video doing it. She wouldn't even look at the video and was in denial. I told her to at least put a bell on their collars so they don't keep getting the birds. She wasn't having any of it. It's a real shame...
Nope. My job reminds me 5 days a week what day it is. 2 days on the weekends isn’t long enough to get where you are 😂. Set an alert in your phone. Works great for grandma
Good luck!

I had a summer job that lasted a couple days once at a horse farm near our house IN THE BURBS. I was probably 10-11-12.
I was supposed rake stalls and clean up after those dung machines. Well I left a stall open and one of them got out and got spooked and chased me into another stall. It was all pissed off and rearing up and kicking at me so I swatted it in the nuts with the rake. It froze for a second then it cried out. I'm not kidding. Sounded like a kid screaming. Then it took off out of the barn and everyone was chasing after it. When they got it up back in the stall they came over and told me they didn't me to clean anything anymore. So there ya go. My cowboy days were over.
