I found this location last year and made a first check catch. Wish I had a hundred more locations like this. Old fallen in building in a brush patch. On a ridge top above a bunch of rim rock. Same thing this year. First check catch. And found a nice old canning jar.

Also got a skunk in a 160 cat cubby. Had him suitcased behind the head and over the hips but was still alive. It’s an older but strong Northwoods 160.

BAck when, a lot of one story farm houses were heated by a wood stove or warm morning gas stove. It would sit in a central room.......and you left doors open to allow heat to filter in. Those warm morning gas stoves would run you out of a small room.

Brings back memories of the coal/wood stove in kitchen, wood stove in living room and basement. We would all huddle around the coal stove in the am and eat breakfast before school.

I can control the cracking pain by putting on a bandage and a smear of Neosporin to keep the skin pliable I wrap that in some medical tape and just keep working. It’s more annoying than anything just distracting and slows me down a bit. Neosporin works well for many things skin wise.
