OK, I'll say it again. Sucks to be you!

You're making this easy.

Nah, I’m still an optimist.  When I was pulling into the golf course to check on it “Black Betty” came on the radio.  I had high hopes.

This was about a little less than a quarter inch long and was seen on some steps. I have no idea what it is, but it caught my eye.

Yep you’ve mentioned it.  You sometimes fish with your Trump lovin’ neighbor. 

 

 

Big time Trump loving neighbor. He does not like that I will never talk politics, but we went out the other night for the firt time this year and he wore a Hillary Killed My Friends t-shirt.

Top of the mornin’ to ya’s.

 

Yah, that pile on the ground is my responsibility.  Does it just “rain” anymore?

Nope, it can't just rain anymore. We came home last night after spending most of the month up there and I was thrilled to be back in the city. 

 

Just last week alone we had a night with 80 mph winds, a morning with 4 " of rain, a night with 75 mph winds, two days of non stop 25-30 mph winds pounding the shoreline and the I woke up in the middle of the night to fireworks coming out the power lines they had put back up the day before. Trucks and saws were the sounds of the week.

at least no one was hurt...

We have been saying the same thing multiple times a summer for decades. The pocket book usually takes the biggest hurt.

It just might be God trying to tell you sometime!

Think a critter got into this snapper nest. Found it at the cabin last weekend in front of the big shed.

Raccoons.  Been seeing a lot of that this year.

I have seen foxes digging up turtle eggs along the Burntside river bridge a few times.

I chased a coon off a nest in our driveway and checked another dug up nest that had a coon deuce in the middle of it.

 

I think when you start seeing the egg shells outside the hole and tracks around the nest it’s a safe guess.

I'll have to keep an eye on the turtle nest out in the yard.  There have been two raccoons in the hood.  The neighbors trapped one because they got tired of their bird feeders getting trashed.

 

I asked the dude what he did with it.  He said released.  I asked him where.  He says "Edina, I figure they rich people have good garbage for him to eat".

my brother lives out in Wisconsin on the sconny river.  when he sees a snapping turtle laying eggs he puts up a fence to keep critters out. when they hatch he safely guides them to the water. they take 9-14 weeks depending on temps to hatch!!!!!
