Sunday - late
Apparently haven't updated the blog early yesterday morning.
Well, the 8 year old went with us, the tenant went to one side where one feeder is, I went to the other. We sat there for 3 hours. People were firing off guns all around us, we didn't see a thing. I grabbed my camera off the tree he had placed, took it home and - nothing. It hadn't flashed a single picture.
After that, I went home and took a nap, then went back to the park, got the trailer and went and got a cord of wood with the same-said tenant. He bought half a cord, I bought a half, took it back to the park, put his half on his lot and my half in front of the shed. Shortly after I left there, a tenant helped themselves to probably 25 pieces. Yes, I need to put up a sign, that wood isn't free. $7.00 for 10 pieces or $.75 cents per piece.
Sounds expensive? Go to Krogers, Home Depot - anywhere really - mine is the best deal in town. This is a convenience thing, you want a fire? Come buy some wood. The stack of wood is in view of the outside camera. I'm let that guy get away with it since I had no sign posted, tomorrow morning I'll be over there hunting again and I will post a sign.
We went again this morning. This time, we heard what sounded like deer scratching their horns on trees but we didn't see them. It wasn't long before a pack of dogs came barking somewhere close by, that pretty much ended that. Home from that, nap, church, Applebee's and then home. The tenant - Mark - went out this afternoon. He called and said he had one in his sights, but he had dropped his glasses and couldn't see the tip at the end of the rifle for aiming and missed the deer. He was able to get two shots off, but without being able to see, well, that nixed that.
At least they're coming to the property, but we already knew that from the deer tracks.
That is basically the weekend as of early yesterday morning. I have been home since after Applebee's doing much of nothing. It's Sunday, it's what I like to do on Sundays.
More grass has come up over there, it looks - somewhat - nice. It needs a lot more to have the appearance of a full look. I'm going to wait a bit longer before getting more seed, it looks like there's more that might be able to come up. I'm not looking to spend money just to spend money, but I do figure another 200 pounds on a second round of seeding. The evidence of the rain washing some of the seed away is the fact there is a lot of grass growing behind the trailers now - areas I did not seed.
Someone alerted me to the fact that my website isn't working. Sure enough. Due to lack of payment for the hosting service. Yeah, I get too many emails on that account, time to switch the important stuff to an account where I will definitely see it. It's only been down since this morning, I think, at least according to the email. It was instantly brought back online as soon as I paid the bill - an annual fee.
I haven't watched any news today and only perused a few news sites and decided I didn't want to watch any of that. Israel is at war, some people that the media is hyping hate Israel - etc. There was even a sermon about the timeline of the Jews and Christ's return relating to this war at church today. Non-political, it was relating to where we are at, at least in his opinion/view, of the rapture timeline.
It is interesting the varying views of the tribulation and the rapture. Pre-mid and post tribulation, depending on who you talk to.
There is a family/couple not sure which coming tonight. Yes, it's already almost 9:00 pm, they said they were coming late and would see me then. Uhh, no, I replied in email, I won't be there. Pull up to the shed, make the U turn and go to the only spot available, a pull through at lot 5. I have no need to be there excepting the idea that someone might trash another pedestal. If they come in the correct way - as the signs show- that won't happen.
I dunno what else. I'm not getting up early for hunting tomorrow. I'm getting up around 7:00 am-ish and just go and sit there for a couple hours and see if anything comes my way. I can check the camera as well and see if anything came since this afternoon. Mark said I should go to the other side tomorrow where he was hunting - makes sense but I don't have the camera over there. I can try both i guess.
The problem? Well, I have never gutted a deer. I only know to hang the thing up by it's rear legs, cut it's throat and drain the blood out. After that, I would have to remove the hide, remove the guts, use a chain saw to cut the legs off. After that? I have no idea. I guess that's what Youtube is for. I would just have Mark come do it but he'll be at work.
I have stuff to do over there tomorrow as well. Plus, who knows when I'm going back to work? Lol. 15 days would be over - Wednesday.
Enough of this. I got up so early this morning that I am going to hit the sack early tonight.
