Match 3 of the fall tennis season is here today

Day 29, "Every picture has a story"

Here are most of the staples of deer hunting!  I left the rifle out of the picture as some may not want/like to see that.  The candy, well you just have to have that and the tiny bars are the best as you can unwrap them and have only 2 bits at a time.  The sausage, well you can not cut that until you are ready to eat lunch at noon BUT watch for roaming deer as you cut the sausage and bun.  The apple one can eat it two different ways.  I prefer to cut it with the hunting knife and eat it in slices.  It is also OK to just eat it whole but I don't know why anyone would do that because it is so much fun to cut with the sharp knife as long as you are careful not to cut your finger.  The thermos of coffee is kind of a new thing as way way back in the 60s when we went out to the ND badlands there was no way you could lug a heavy thermos but now that I walk a bit and climb a stand coffee is a MUST.  Of course you need ammunition and it would be good if only TWO.  The knife needs to be sharpened the night before opening season and then it is best if used with a bit of dry blood on it!!!  This year, no dried blood.

We have our third tennis match today.  I, again, have put myself on court 2 but with a better partner this week.  We played together yesterday against a couple of ladies.  Before you wonder why(?) Karl has company and the lady is every bit as good as any player on my team.  Karl and I used the time to decide how to play together and communicate on the court.  Well we did win the matches as you always want to do that!  I think we used up ALL our bad shots yesterday and saved most of our good shots for today "for sure".  It looks to be 85 at court time and a 50% chance of rain.  Ugh, as rain outs are always hard to fit in so maybe it will not rain or hold off until our match is finished.  We start at 1:30 and usually are finished by 2:30/2:45.

I have decided to say NOTHING about the elections of yesterday.  I will say that I am most disappointed in one of the races in MN but will leave it at that.

Enough as I am going to bike over to the courts for a short time and then come back to do dishes.  I do need to finish my FP before I leave.
