 Saturday - very early

No work this weekend, apparently, I didn't call them to find out, just let it slide and see what happens.  I don't want to work weekends so if I have them off, who am I to call?  If the plant is going to be down 15 days, that means it's going to go into this coming week as well. 

I'd be find not getting up for work Monday considering we are losing an hour to Daylight Savings time.

Oh, why am I up so early? The cranky old man at the park wants to go hunting this morning.  I said fine, let's go try to bag a deer. He put up deer feeders on either wide of the rear 15 acres and the deer are feeding at both of them.  I'll be on one side, he'll be on the other. 

It'll be real easy to tell if he gets one, lol, just listen for the gunshot.  I forgot to ask him about the hunting camera.  Supposedly he put mine up back there, so why didn't he look at that to see when they're coming? Could be the middle of the night, could be evening, could be early morning? We're hunting on guess work here.  But whatever, if it yields nothing I won't be doing it again until we get the times they show up to feed. 

My guess from seeing them out in the past? It could either be evening around 8 or 9 pm or it could be early morning. Or it could be both. They found the feeders, they are going to keep coming. But today marks the first day of hunting season and rest assured, we aren't going to be the only people in that area looking to bag a few deer.  Our county specifies a bag limit for the season at 4, 2 bucks and 2 does.  

Don't worry, I'm not going to be shooting Bambi.  

Well, the day has been thrust into overdrive with the boy waking up much earlier than I expected. I didn't expect him to wake up without having to go in there and do it. Instead, he came walking into my bedroom and now is dressed and read to go. 

So, with that, we are off to the property to go freeze our butts off and maybe bag a deer. Maybe not, but it will be an adventure regardless.
