Back of the house

  I decided to dig out some garbage and the old 4x4 trailer out of the junk pile.  This "white devil" appeared and I ran like a little girl. Mr possum was living in the old nail barrel I assume.  Removed the trailer and put the tarp over the pile.  See you in the spring  fellow.

Another "free" project.  The "fire escape" was removed and I took it apart, ground off the concrete bolts, hauled it up the path on the golf cart and am using it for a storage platform.  The idea of an escape route was good but even I have fallen off the rear of this and slid into the house. I often wondered who would do the same during a fire.  The construction was solid and totally pops.

Appleton day trip Oct 2011

Left at 7am, started fishing @ 10am, left for home @ 5:30 pm, arrived home @ 8pm.  Kept 4 walleyes, largest 17 inches and 3 northerns and one duck decoy that washed up.  So 6 hours driving, 5 fishing and 1/2 cleaning.  Now comes the eating. Good times.

The road to one of my "honey holes" has been blocked off for a couple years.  People still fish there but I bike in and out.  The extra hassle does help keep the riff-raff out plus there is the fact that people across the river have to watch me put em on the stringer, most of the time.

Awaiting a long winter

Just a few photos.  Not too much to say.  Hoping next year brings a very different scenario. The last 10 months was more about discovery and severe belt tightening.

Ryder visits with Mom and Dad

Cuteness blew into town this last week, stayed with Chase and Taylor for a couple nights, visited the Harvey family and was certified "a perfect baby" by all.  Thanx go out to his mom and dad for sharing their families time with us all.  Looking forward to seeing them all again soon.

Backyard at Chase and Taylor's.  Chase grilled up some great food to end a perfect, but all too short visit.
