Got up and am drinking coffee by 5am. Run the dog briefly before work to get her a little exercise. Go to work. Phone took a crap last night and doesn't work at all. Probably should go to Verizon after work but I think I'm just going to enjoy the phone-less weekend and hopefully nobody needs to get ahold of me.

Bat job, beaver job, check woodchuck job, possibly pick up venison kielbasa and hotdogs at butcher if it's ready. Mess around with my walk-in cooler AC, I broke the temp sensor.

I gotta work rooms today instead of being in the office cause one of the kids called off. So I’ll have an extra backache like Vinke.

Taking 70 JH kids on a Field Trip.?!

Work til 3, then help the neighbor chop sileage til dark.

Work

Picking 35 crabs for some "freezer meat" for a start...

Gonna cast and blast. Pike and doves

I get to go to dialysis and sit for 4 hours getting my blood cleaned, what a blast. Afterward thogh I plan on doing a bit of fishing before heading home. Two hour drive each way, but at least it's through the hills and over a pass,

Moving wood to the boiler for the winter months I will split some good stuff and bury it in the piles so I get to it midwinter when it’s more efficient. If I hit hornets again some of it might have to wait them suckers hurt. LOL I’ve been breaking out in hives after getting all those chigger bites I’m thinking hornets stinging me won’t help any.

Make some green tea, work on building more shelfs for daughters mouse building and move them from the barn to the mouse shed. Run a check list with the boys for their hunting stuff for the weekend. Then off to work at 5 for 12 or 16 hr shift.

Edit. Firar thing was take trash up the boys missed for trash truck, then trip to feed store for rabbit chicken feed and a boot dryer. Now off to work on the rest.

Caught a wood chuck that had burrowed under the house foundation this morning. Still cutting buckthorn in the woods.

Finnish my brothers funeral arrangements,
Military burial at Custer National Cemetery .
Had to wait on a time slot.
Local VFW gathering after.
Having never been in the military I was very impressed with the VFW services supplied for the fallen service members.
They have just become very high on my donation list.
Right up there with the local Community Centers.
My sister and I have decided to donate any money we might receive from the funeral donations.

I feel they really are a good organization.

This morning I went and collected heartnuts and a single black walnut. I came back home and ate pulled pork barbecue on a pretzel bun, Diane made.

I'll go out and feed and water rabbits next and look for new kits. I have 6 first time bred, white New Zealand does that should be kindling. They were a little young, so they might not take.

Then I'll move some elderberry bushes and Haskaps/honey berries in pots.

Then I'll collect black walnuts on my farm.

This evening I will load my trucks with plants and nuts to sell tomorrow and the gear I use.

Then I'll feed and water the birds in my front barn, two dogs and collect quail eggs.

Tomorrow, my partner and I are selling at a chili cook off.
