Supporting your DNR. My family up north got 3 deer between 2 of them. Still hunting expecting more. They spent most of this last weekend butchering. Nice to see deer returning to the north woods.

All righty then; I'm as ready as I'll ever be for that snow that is supposed to be coming. After finishing a pot of coffee, went out and split enough wood to keep a fire going all day. By the time I did that (the old fashioned way, with a maul and wedges) and stacked it on the back porch I was plenty warm but I went ahead and got a fire going anyway.


As soon as the fire was going I was ready to sit down with a good book but decided after all that work I deserved a hearty breakfast (or is it brunch?).


And if you're wondering, yes, I did fry both the eggs and hash browns in the bacon grease. Heart attack at 11.

I should probably go for a three mile run to burn off some of those calories. Oh, too bad, it's started to rain; guess I'll take a nap with the cat instead.

Disclaimer: While I do go for 30 or 40 minute walks several times a week just to keep the joints lubricated, it would be a toss-up which exploded first, my knees or my heart, if I tried running very far.

 

Headin back to camp tonite. weve had a good year so far. finally some nice ones have hit the ground. this is camp.

 

for bacon grease

 

no fire needed when its 80 degrees.

 

this is for mike. Not sure how old or where he came from but hes mine. been in family forever.

 

I had a bowl of healthy high fiber cereal for breakfast, it sucked. Kept thinking about BACON,I NEED BACON.

 

Well heck, come on over, I've got more!

 

one more camp pic, sorry

 

Camp is nicer than most houses.

 

And so it begins...


The latest forecast calls for only about an inch here. Looking at the radar I would be surprised if we get more than a dusting.

Still feels good to warm my bones beside the fire.

 

we are very lucky. a guy owns it that lives up the road and we rent it for Oct.-Dec. 100$ per person for 3 months ant bad and we dont have the upkeep of owning it but have talked about buying it..

 

I donated $150 to the State of South Dakota this year also. Didn't think I would be able to go but there was a chance and had to get it months ago. And will be giving them another $150 soon also. I know the feeling well.

Love Tom Clancy books. Many years ago was at the Exchange in Little Creek Amphibian Base and headed upstairs to the uniform shop to pickup some things for an inspection coming up. Tom was sitting at a table signing books no one was in line, it was right before lunch. And it was long enough ago he was chain smoking and his ashtry was already close to overflowing. I said hi to him as I walked by.

After got my stuff for my uniform ran and grabbed one of his books to have him sign it. Went back to the table and the line was out the door it was now lunch time. Ended up just going back to the ship.

Stayed up way too late last night watch Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime. Started with first and ended up watching all 8 of them. Good but different from the original line, especially Vice Admiral James Greer.

Bacon this morning also. Have only used the griddle on the Jenn Air couple of times since I lived here. Now remember why, what a mess. Think it is time to do redo the kitchen. Griddle offers no advantage over my cast iron pans and is a PITA to clean. But bacon...

 

Home safe and sound,,,, Almost bit it, when came around a bend and a car was dead stopped in the road no flashers, lights, nothing

 

That’s a big surprise..
No breakdown training....

 

Good job avoiding knuckleheads Susan

Afternoon

Love the shade from my trees, but hate the leaves will fall from now until the new ones come out in the spring....
