I’ve been back in town all week, but I’ve been keeping up on what’s going on. First off, the septic tank is in the ground and they are moving along getting the trenches for the leach lines dug. Back at the Grudge, the siding is nearly on and they’ll soon do the roof. The concrete grudge floor will be poured today.

Moose, Angus, and the Mooselette joined me over the weekend for the annual Yute Hunt. Mooselette and I went out together to Hollywood Saturday morning and saw nothing. Saturday afternoon, we went to S-10. About a half dozen doe came out and stayed until after sunset, but never got within … Continue reading →
The Grudge project showed lots of progress over the week. However, nothing as grand as the week before. The exterior received all the necessary additions to make it ready for siding and roofing next week. The metal is ordered. The windows and door are framed in. Late in the week, … Continue reading →
The roof trusses were delivered on Monday and Rodger and the guys got them boosted into place. They spent the rest of the week with bracing, purlins, facia and soffets. By Friday, the grudge was nearly ready for siding and roofing. Down below, Juni has been running the dozer and … Continue reading →
Things are getting cranked up at the farm. Here is what we have done. First off, the curing shed had to come down. Juni was helping me move a flower bed with his backhoe next to the shed in preparation to deconstruct it. Things got a little out of hand … Continue reading →
If you all haven’t noticed, my output on this weblog has trailed off a bit lately. I’ve been fine. The family is fine. We have just been busy. As you may remember, Mom died just a year ago. She left me with a complicated estate. I have been dealing with … Continue reading →
I went back down to Turkey Camp yesterday. I had several projects that needed work, and I wanted to get out and listen to the turkeys. First off, let me describe yesterday morning’s scouting trip. Starting at 20 minutes before sunrise, a large flock started going off near the Honey … Continue reading →
This is the earliest I’ve tried to return to camp in 20-some seasons. A good deal of it is because I’m retired now. In the past, I had to wait until the weekends. Last year, I was still feeling the chemo and had to wait until someone else could go … Continue reading →
After a once-a-decade event of eating tag soup, the question comes up about what to do? Angus and I have already had this talk. My advice was to wait. I’ve been through this before, and it usually works itself out by the next season. This year is appearing more and … Continue reading →
I was preparing to write a report on this past weekend, and I looked up in the left corner and saw this post from last year. It’s not like that’s exactly what happened. Some of it, like the sighting-in of deer rifles, happened last weekend. We are planning to put … Continue reading →
I have not felt much like writing for the past few weeks. There has been so much to do. However, I did finally manage to get back out to the farm and get some stuff done. I started off by building some shelves in the bedroom to take my hunting … Continue reading →
Now that I’m retired, I’ve been looking for something to keep me occupied. When Remnar was out a few summers ago, he brought along a drone and shot some really nice video of the farm. That idea stuck with me, so when I was asked what I wanted for my … Continue reading →
Back in the spring, I had just come from the appointment with the oncologist where I had scheduled my Chemo treatments. I drove out to the farm and went turkey hunting the next day. I bagged a nice gob and then. . . well, I spent a good long time … Continue reading →
