Went up to my SIL camp Sunday to check out the bear bait site. It was cleaned out. Trail camera showed lots of Raccoons and one small bear. Mosquitoes were out in force along with the ticks. I picked 2 of the little baztids off me.

Stopped by one of the neighbors to chat. He lost some of his shingles to the wind this past week.

Saw a larger bear out in a farm field on the way home.

Bluegills are starting to bite. They're still in 8 feet of water.
Wanted to go out today, but the wind is howling again.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Except for bears. Bears kill you.
