Good Morning

[Buppies 1953]

52 this morning high in mid 70s dog is outside doing her business

Sorry about key BEF

Morning all

turns out the original lock is 751, so good thing i'm changing them. the luggage doors are getting rotten, might make new doors or will have to buy new ones. If I make new ones, will use the newer lock style.

Don't throw away your 751 key. Keep it with you at the campground to use in good faith. A frantic young couple approached us a few years ago with their 2year old locked in their camper with the keys. Because someone in our group had one, they were able to get to their daughter without breaking a window.

my 751 is only the compartment key, door key is different. But good point, will keep them just in case..

Got new locks on the baggage door of camper, but need new doors as two are getting soft. Camper are a maintenance headache. New door lock also came, so got the camper all secure again with all new locks. Almost did a boo boo, the new lock was locked when I first tested the door, good thing I had put the keys in my pocket and not left them lying on the camper floor.

That's one of the reasons we only use the dead bolt lock on our latch, and not locking the handle. Second reason is the ears on the handle develop stress fractures from pulling the handle while locked. Using just the lower key lock alleviates that slam/lock worry. I also key a spare stashed outside. Belt/suspender/staple kind of thing.

Good Morning everyone.
Had a morning breakfast meeting. Beautiful day outside,60 deg. Did hit 37deg this morning. Not sure what to get into this afternoon.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Afternoon all.
Did get the camper winterized, tanks drained, lines blew out, antifreeze added. Also brought the pressure washer into the basement from the barn, so it won't freeze. forgot to do that once years ago with a small electric one, and the connectors froze and cracked.

Good morning. 32° frost on the pumpkins.
my cell game camera at the farm took over 100 pictures last night, using up my months allotment. Only got a few deer pics.

32° here, too.
Had 9 deer in the back yard at daybreak. They're foraging the acorns and drinking from the Koi pond. Drives the dog crazy...

Around 29° this morning and more than 40 elk around the property. It's been a good year for fawns and calves and there are more elk calves than I've seen in the last 12 years here. I'm also seeing at least six spike bulls.

More deer this year too with three sets of twins and even one set of triplets. Something is working in their favor this year.

We had fawn triplets in the yard this fall too, quite the sight.
I think the weather and lots of food has helped their population.
I see far more of them, all over the place, when driving around.
I love the fact that our kids don't make any noise when the deer, elk, moose show up.

I still get a big laugh at places that have to make deer plots, to get the deer to come in.
Here we have to put up deer blocking to keep them out of gardens, orchards, and anything else you don't want mowed down.
I drove into the yard the other day and 5 of them just looked at me like "how dare you interrupt our dinner time", they didn't even move they just went back to snacking after I drove by.

Maybe I already posted this one from a few nights ago at the farm. Good hard frost again last night. At my house, which isn't at the farm, I have to put up deer fencing to keep them out of the garden.

Deer fencing around the garden here, but they've destroyed the flower beds around the house.
Had about 80 Hostas this Spring. There are maybe a dozen (or parts of them) left. Tulips were wiped out almost as soon as they emerged.
