What's everybody doing today?

I HOPE it was dead....

Yes, it's face was gone and it was dead. So I wrapped it in a towel, and buried it. Poor cat. Just checked the porch area and nothing looks new (thankfully) this morning.
Little granddaughter's mom is coming out for a visit with her this afternoon, she hasn't asked to see her since the start of summer. Hoping to get some cupboards painted, but husband was up alot last night, so we'll see what today brings.

getting started on animals soon, was waiting for light outside to get up . Looks like we might get some more rain today , yuck. I think I want the draught back at this point
We are also picking up straw today from the festival IF we can get the trailer down our road. Son fixed our part good enough but the really steep section at the neighbors is not fixed yet.

Back in 70's and 80's i had several eagle claw rods and reels. Especially they had a signature series for Tom Mann...who was a famous fisherman....they were fantastic reels.

this kit i am assembling is my doing not eagle claws per say...its going to have this pack it rod/reel combo in it is all. its only the rod i was working on for my pack last night. the micro tackle box will go in my front or back pocket even....more to come and show.....testing in field first. no fishing for awhile though with all this flooding....i wouldnt get close to a river bank now for fear of collapsing in places.

There should be a fishing thread.

There should be a fishing thread.

Yes! Good idea. Do you know how to start one?

Sitting out back with a glass of juice just watching the start of a new day. Birds are in the feeders, Bob dog is out chewing on something, the chickens and ducks are doing chicken and duck things. From here everything looks right in the world.

A good morning getting chores done outside, and husband did a bit of strimming of heavy duty growth, stocked up on firewood nearer the house for the week in case I need it, then spent a while in the kitchen. I'd picked zucchini, green tomatoes, cabbage and sorted some potatoes I had lifted and just left covered. Made green tomato chutney, then dinner and now making a list of paperwork I have to do for next week - husband bought a new van, so insurance and all has to be sorted.

Got up, went down to the pool and swam a bit, came back and took a shower, made some coffee, watched a little television and now I am obviously here helping to keep the forum alive and active. At some point these sleepy ladies will start to wake up and I will make some pancakes, sausage links and berries. I already threw out all the fake maple high fructose corn syrup and replaced it with real maple syrup.

Cruel to keep us in suspense: when you call him what?
Also glad the fire extinguisher didn’t cause any damage!

My friend's grandkids named him Bucky. I'll go with Buck or Bud... or Sir Lion of Pastureborough!

Have a plan for the day... serious lack of motivation this morning, no energy. But I got the calf watered and fed. Turned him out on good grass. Sitting and thinking of the best way to go about...

Decided that since I can't get either of my pumps running and get water from my cousin's pond. And, I'm having to connect a hose to my kitchen faucet and run a couple buckets of water for the calf 2x a day.... Might as well put a 250g tank on a trailer and fill it up from my kitchen. Park it by the corral and set up a siphon hose for filling the calf's water tub. This will give me time to get the pumps working.

And since I have to disconnect the bushhog to hook to the trailer. Afterwards I'll lift the bushhog w/front loader and cut the barbwire out of it. Then I can finish cutting the lower pasture.. That's the plan anyway...

Went out to feed the shoe stealing mutt this morning and saw where that dang fox took a dump on the front porch again. That fox is a jerk, thinks he's real funny. We'll see just how funny he thinks it is when I set a #2 Victor for him.
