No shooters yesterday!

Got up in my favorite lock on @ 4:00. Doe feeding below me. Waiting on one of the shooters that I have on camera.

I was a SM for years and raised 3 Eagle Scouts. The troop was a high adventure troop and spent a lot time hiking Bankhead and Cheaha Mountain trails. Philmont when we got a slot and several crews did several treks on the AT.
Normal weekend we usually had a base camp for brand new boys, 10 miler for junior high age and 20 miler for older boys and if we had enough adults.
On the weekend trips my boys enjoyed grilling a ribeye and baking a potato for the big meal on Saturday over coals. We would prepare them and wrap in foil and freeze them.
Zatarain's Jambalaya, Dirty Rice with smoked sausage was always easy on a camp stove.
Lunch on the trails were tuna packs, crackers, jerky, peanut butter, and dried fruit.
Breakfast Sunday morning we would fry up some thick bacon and packed in some boiled eggs.
Basecamp would have a lunch made for those coming of the trail on Sunday. Chili, stew, Dutch Oven Cobbler, etc.
Waiting on my grandsons wanting to start camping!

Does late!

Ended up being 52! No movement this morning. Been more in the early afternoon. Will try again then!

I have been driving a 2014 Nissan Frontier. Bought it in 2015 with 11,000 or so miles on it. Last oil change it had 375,000 miles on it. Only brakes, and a sensor that went bad 5 years ago. While they were in the motor Nissan suggested to replace two others while inside. That is the only issue I have had with it. Rule of thumb is 400 miles per tank and averages 17-18 gals each fill up. That is 23-24 miles a gallon.
Wife (no pics) has an 2014 Armada with 255,000 miles on it. We were trying to replace a 2003 Suburban but could not find one at a reasonable price. New or used! Bought the Armada in 2015 also with 14,000 miles on it. Both are great vehicles and no plans to replace either at this time. My youngest daughter (no pics) goes to school out of state and we bought her a 2025 Nissan Kicks for safety and reliability. No issues so far! If we buy a replacement it will be for my wife and I will keep my truck for the farm. Planning on buying a Nissan Rouge or Pathfinder for her!

My dad was discharged from the Marine Corps after WWII. He had volunteered and went back to the BOE to get his diploma and due to volunteering had had finish his senior year to allow him to go to school on the GI Bill.
Graduated HS and was going to hitch hike to either Tulane or Howard College (now Samford). First car to stop was heading to Birmingham so it it was Howard College.
Dad joined a fraternity and there were several fraternity brothers standing outside the Freshman Girls dorm and when my mom walked up the steps and the first guy asked if she was married. The answer was no, and the next asked if she was engaged. It was no, and the next asked if she was pinned. It was no, and my dad asked if she would go on a date and she said yes! They were married next semester and they raised 4 kids and were married for 24 years before she died. Dad got his commission in the Army and retired after 20 years. Dad married 2 more times but when he died he requested to be married with my mom at Arlington National in 2008. I was able to make his wishes happen!

You are correct on the temperature!

Not me! Maybe the End Zone back in the day!

There is a velvet hunt the end of August and the regular bow season starts in September.

Back in April we lost our Rat Terrier of similar age! Still miss her!
