" what is the story with the moose "urine pits" ? My knowledge of them comes from watching Bullwinkle on tv -maybe that was in an episode I missed."
Only happens during mating season..the rut..bulls will paw the ground than urine to leave there scent for females also warn other bulls,and sometime bulls will roll in urine pit than do for walk which spread scent.
Mature whitetail will urine as he walks to spread the scent during rut season,and if your lucky enough to get close you can smell him.

Drew, hope the move goes well today. How good does it feel to have a home again ?

Eric, I wish...move isn't for another two weeks, October 9th.
Then it will feel frankly amazing to be "home" again...

Ron, great stream picture
Fresh apple cider and apple pie, sounds like heaven

Never heard of a turkey being a pet. Always thought they were raised to eat. That would be one tough Tom...glad the memories are good.

rain has stopped, time to go for a walk

Good news indeed on Coco.
Wow, Roy looking at orange, even if it is the other one.
Am at MIL, will try to play in a dirt pile today with a BX. Light sprinkles of rain last night on way down, but most of the rain stayed south of here.
Every fall I mean to clean up the cider mill to make some homemade cider..

My neighbor just bought a Kioti Cab tractor....maybe a month back. It's a bit less HP, as he didn't want the hassles of the emissions BS. Nice machine though...but the dealer support sucked. His work lights didn't work and the dealer didn't provide much help...but a more local Kioti dealer did help him.
The one I'm going to look at is, as I wrote, a 2011 model...about 1200 hours on it. If I could find a cab Deere (with about the same PTO HP as the Kioti (about 40 PTO HP)) for $25K, I'd prefer that since I have all those John Deere hats!
I'll have to do some homework to see about any issues with the DK50's

Rich sorry about the loss of Bo unique pet for sure

I looked at koiti and the white bobcat version before buying my L3940HSTC. Nice tractor, people on TBN like them. I didn’t like the way the backhoe came off. I love my cab.

Good morning! 59˚F heading to the mid 80s lots of sunshine, no wind, foggy. Yard day, it really grew after the Beta 2.5" rain. Tomorrow I'll start pulling out the summer garden (beans/tomatoes and okra) and turn off the irrigation and let the garden dry out for a tilling next week with my little Honda. There will be a lot of severed root ends to discard also from the large elm tree 20' away. My Fall transplants, beets/broccoli/kale are growing nicely in their little Dixie cups on the back porch.

Two park sessions and one FireWise session were called off last week so I did not miss any because of the birthday and funeral. But after the Limb and brush removal at Mom's I felt like I did not miss anything.

Our neighborhood fitness center is continuing to ease restrictions. Now no reservations are necessary, they will just limit the number of people and shut down every 90 minutes for cleaning/disinfecting.

Drew, will your long term goal be to continue renting or will you be looking to buy?

Just because Bo disliked me didn稚 mean it wasn稚 entertaining. We had 3 toms. We just had miserable luck with hens staying alive and staying around. We had one hen run off with a wild flock.

We have 2 younger turkeys. Tecumseh who is likely Bo痴 son and Whitey which I am not sure where he came from.

Whitey is our junk yard Turkey. He is always dirty and has no personality. For some time, he has sort of been in charge since he is the youngest.

Tecumseh likes people. He is friendly, will eat treats out of your fingers, and is pleasant to be around. When Bo was being aggressive because he didn稚 want me near my wife, the chase was on. Saw a lot of entertaining chases since Tecumseh had this attitude of 鍍he enemy of my enemy is my friend? Tecumseh would get between us and drive Bo off. And he would come back and expect a treat. He had it figured out.

Going to be interesting to see how the other 2 act now that Bo is gone
