A picture taken in 2010. I constructed a deer stand at home and then set it up on the Binde farm that late summer. I put it near a slough north of their buildings. I arrived to hunt that November only to find that I had put it up too close to the soft soil and it had fallen down! Dale got his tractor out and we put it up again. In this picture Dale is standing in the stand after we put it up a second time. As of last year it still was up. I have seen a lot of deer from the stand but have not shot one from it. This coming weekend is the opening of deer season in Minnesota and I will not be there. I was up there last year and there were few deer to be seen on the farm. I certainly have memories of sunrises, turkey flocks in the distance and deer also but no shots!
Terry and I are hopeful that the "fix it up" is over for the winter. Yesterday the pool heater was fixed and today it should be warm again. The pool pump was fixed last summer and the AC unit was fixed last week so MAYBE things are a go for the rest of the season.
As I got up this morning I had to wonder what in the world did I do yesterday! I walked into the kitchen and half of my FP was still in the coffee pot. Then I looked around and there were dirty dishes all over the counter. I opened the dishwasher and it was full of clean dishes. I thought to myself that I must not have done anything Monday. Oh, then I realized that I had my head buried in a 750 page book much of the day. Well I did play tennis at 7:30 but I came home from that not all that exhausted. Regardless I need to up the work level and down the reading level today so that the place does not look like a mess tomorrow morning.
We have an away tennis match tomorrow and I am hopeful of winning 2 of the courts. MAYBE I should say again that the "win" column this fall is not that important. I am putting perhaps my best player on #1, he is only here for 3 matches this fall, but I am pairing him with a player that I feel is only a good #2 court player. BUT I do want players to play on all the courts and with different partners so we will see what happens tomorrow. One of my better players is on jury duty this week so will not be playing tomorrow.
No, my court time today is 10:30 at a time that the temp should be 88! That means drink a lot of water before I play. However that gives me time to clean up some messes from yesterday and perhaps also get in a few more pages of my book as I have only 150 pages left.
My FP is no more.
