Welcome To November...

I am proud to announce that all my outdoor work is done for the fall. I have no more leaves to pick up, no more wood to cut and no "stuff" laying around outside. I would say the only thing I have left is to move my weather station. I am going to mount it onto the garage...I believe the location that it currently resides results in poor wind readings. So my job for the day is to get that moved. I also heard rumblings that I might be working on a computer for somebody...but I have not heard anything yet.

So I am starting to run some snowmobile video ideas through my head...nothing real impressive yet. I know one of my goals is to do more than still shot YouTube videos. I want some action! Unfortunately, there really is not room for that around here. I am hoping that some of the logging they completed over the summer will leave me with a few nice trails and open areas to explore...without other people knowing about them. For once I would love to be the one to break some powder...I love trail riding but that just does not make for good video. :P Especially on a hybrid sled!

I am continuing my tradition of keeping the deer away from hunters...the apple tree dropped its fruit for the year and I placed it at the back of our yard. It should take the deer a few days to find it...and then hopefully will keep them happy until hunting season is over. I am curious about the baiting rules this year...I have not heard of any bans but I could be wrong. I suppose in my case I am not baiting but just disposing of yard waste. The deer are here anyway...I am not trying to get them to come here. :P A couple years ago we did the same thing...we have a LOT of pictures of them. One in particular has its tongue curled out...which reminds of the commercial on TV for those Fruit Rollup stickers or whatever they are called. The commercial with the deer and some other animal sticking their tongue out to lick the kids face. That is great! I would post a link to it but it appears that YouTube is having trouble.

I did just think of another thing I have to do before winter! I need to get the OutdoorsMI cam back up. I have a network card for the computer that will run it...and I believe the camera should work for the meantime. That will be my second or third project today. It is almost winter...time to stop being so darn lazy! :P

Enough for now...I will try to post something tonight if I get the cam up. :)
