We were welcomed by the news that my brother, RWH, was finally coming down for a weekend visit at II, and also a visit to III. Now, he finally knows what we have been writing about. RW and a friend came to II on Friday, and stayed until sometime Sunday, while herself and I stayed at III. Saturday afternoon, RWH and his friend came to visit us at III. They immediately hit the pond with their fishing equipment, hoping to have the same luck as previous fishermen have had catching the big "cats".
HOWEVER, the only fish that seemed to be biting were small ones, and I mean very small. But, RWH seemed to be having some uncanny ability to catch stick fish, or, maybe they were "fish sticks". And, I might add, was very consistant at it. Cast after cast would bring in sticks and more sticks. As the picture indicates, he finally pulled in the "big" one. I never did see him catch anything that was alive. Anyway, it was fun having visitors and hope they will come down again sometime. I do want RWH to know that one of my first thoughts when we were first looking at this property was all the times we roamed the timber around Prescott, shooting at squirrels and anything else that moved.
We didn't do to much this weekend. I mowed as usual, herself started her new project of planning a cedar post bed. I worked on removing more stumps with the chain saw. I think I am finally down to maybe 25 more that I have to remove before I can mow and not have to worry about hitting one, as I did this weekend. I bent the deck enough so that it stopped the blade from turning, but managed to get it repaired, changed the blades, did a little maintenance, and basically took it easy for a change.
We went back to II on Sunday afternoon to mow there as we knew it would be another 2 weeks before coming back, and with the 1 and 1/2 inches of rain we got Sat. nite, it would have been a jungle. Anyway, I got half way down with the push mowing, and the engine quit. So, have to install a coil the next time down. The mower is 27 years old, but keeps on a runnin. Just needs a little coaxin sometimes.
All for this time
