bad diet day all the way around today...there was a lot of junk food at the meeting today and I ate all of it ....2 danish pastries, a brownie and some chips. Then we got home and son asked for cookies, so I made a deal, he helps his dad with the animals, I bake cookies. Oatmeal raising, they are good!
and now I am having a beer ....

hey elk were you a ray of sunshine today? boyhowdy was i....i not only was a ray i was full blown powered by nuke reactor....my pores were shooting out sunshine even !!

after everything was done i headed out at 10a.m. on a trip to a friends general store i not been to since c-19 thing...i think...possibly once but its been awhile....the professor went with me.....we went the slow route to china and crossed the forest..i stopped and showed him a short cut to get into some wilderness area.....done what we went to do and headed back home...it was 115 mile trip...my leg done very well no cramps or tremors from driving so much...it was a good day i tell ya....we seen all kinds of cool stuff...the best was 1 coopers hawk,4 redtails...2 were sitting on branch together so i guess they are pairing up already to mate and 1 kestrel. ..coming back we got to point where the pair were at and a redtail was flying along with us making a big racket squawking real loud....lol

got home about 4.30pm and unloaded stuff and grabbed my gear and hit the road and went hiked my regular hike...my but was dragging though by time i got back to truck...oh..i was fasting all day and that made me feel so much better too..no wildlife on hike though...but i did see a heard of 10 deer laying in a field a short ways from trail.

stopped in middle of forest to see old hunter i know who has lost his wife years ago..but lost his son my age and daughter a bit older than me 2 years ago just months apart....he will be or is 86...i could see he been out cutting and clearing up some of his land...tough old hound hunter.

thank you lord for a great day...i peddled my ass off and it was great !
Love seeing hawks!

week 39 day 1

thai chicken curry and wonton soup today

no time to hike yesterday, first we got the puppy and talked to the nice couple that brought him, then talked to daughter on the phone for a while, then it was time to put up the animals. Otto got ignored yesterday, poor boy
I will try to take him today
weather is warming up a little

I can't resist petting dogs LOL, even those I don't know. But they generally like me so far not a problem. I just don't try to pet little yappy ones that snap at you
 
week 39 day 2

chinese food today, making sechuan beef, rice, chinese omlettes and stir fry vegetables
no soup, that's enough stuff

no hiking today either, it's very windy and we have a wind warning for tonight, plus Otto looks tired after playing with Ozzy. I will just let them play again this afternoon.
 
Where is Elkhound today?!

I made the Sichuan beef today and omg, that was the spiciest thing I have ever made!! We almost couldn't eat it and we love spicy food. I bought authentic Sichuan pepper corns ( which are really some sort of tree seeds) at the asian store and ground them up. Recipe called for 1 tsp which I put in and it made your mouth numb it was so spicy but not like chili peppers , it was a weird spicy. I have had sichuan beef lots of times at chinese restaurants and I don't think they put any of that stuff in.
So I looked it up, and it was actually illegal until 2005 to import to the US. So when you order that in a restaurants you are most likely not getting what you order and if you did you might send it back....

LOL that was more than anyone wants to know probably
