Good work Hank!

Gonna have to get down there for coffee and pie and hear the story in person! Or, coffee and chicken fried steak in Quemado. Choices, choices!

Congrats Hank! A good feeling having a full freezer for the winter.

Dotti likes tenderloin.
Imagine that.

Bam-Whop was heard by Jeff 400 yards away.
She turned as I shot and I got both tenders.
Bullet full petal recovered. Looks like no weight loss.

Jeff is on his way back to WI loaded with meat.
He shoved $500 bucks in my hand as I shook his, gave me a big bear hug and said "It's for the elk habitat project".
We're standing on the front porch talking and there's chirping calves down below, a bull standing next door and a half dozen cows feeding. Truck running and Dotti cruizing around.

I have a freezer of elk and walleye,salmon,halibut,garden corn,greenbeans,brusselsprouts and half a dozen meals from his wife. A bunch of WI cheese.
Need to condense when the beef burger comes from my road guy.

I'll take part of the day off. Tired.
But still kicking.

Great spirit Hank! Freezer variety filled and set! Grats! I'd be spent as well.
Thanks for letting us follow along.

Thanks Ken. Added to my smile this morning.

22 and heading for near 70.
I'll finish the weed eating today I think.
Water manana.
High fire danger. Winds have died.

Dotti out on patrol.
Elk ate the top of an apple in front with low wire. She has been after them with stern barking from the porch. Add that higher fence to the list.

The ex called to see how I'm doing. I mentioned my age and she replied don't mention age. Had a laugh over the post to talk to someone old and see how they are doing.
She is weaving again. May need a trip to the weavers in NM later this year. Cool.
She asked about the Pie. Still not as good as hers I said.

I'm trying to stay healthy before my Dr chat in a week. Feel like jumping into work and reality. Take it easy.
Calls today for eye check and a road trip next week. More plants & seed for elk project and the house.
Order the new windows.

Dotti at the door.
Time for apple and string cheese.
She can catch most treats out of the air.
Catching mice ,rats & chipmunks. She stopped eating them after half a rabbit... Just mangles them now.

Doing OK in Pie Town.
