For those of you who have not taken the day off, are you going to get an early start on the weekend? Most of my pals are already headed for elk country, but here I am, working!
I flew home yesterday and will be working from home today; it's still better than being away from the family over the weekend!
Hope you all get an early start to the weekend and your weekend plans, whatever that may be. I'll raise one in your honor later this evening.

I worked 11 hours yesterday, so yes, I might knock off an hour or so early today. Got a lot to get done before that happens though.
Doesn't really matter anyway - weather screwed our plans to go camping, so it'll just be a 3 day weekend working around the house.

IN an hour I'll have already put in my 12 for the day. Then I get to go to town (50+ miles) for a doctor's appt and hope to get back by noon for a few hours sleep before another 12 hr night. No weekend for me, but when I'm done with this week I get a week off for archery deer season.
Hope you all enjoy your holiday weekend.

Weather here in ID is beautiful. Warm down here, but the mountains are cooling nicely with lows cool enough to see your breath; yes, fall is in the air, you just have to be at the right elevation! I was lucky to squeeze in a trip of a lifetime to Africa a few weeks ago and will hunt Bison in Utah in December. So, just happy to be able to be with family over the weekend.

Didn't mean to sound like a downer. It's actually not a bad thing. 3 days puttering around the place and working on things like my shooting range and my reloading room, weather permitting. If the weather keeps me indoors it'll give me a guilt free reason to do nothing but hang out with my kiddos watching movies and playing with Legos.  Hope you and every one else has a pleasant and safe holiday weekend. BTW, that Africa hunt and the bison hunt sound great. Someday I've got to expand my hunting horizons and go after something besides the local white tails and the occasional black bear. On the fall weather - yep, it's starting to get a bit colorful around here. Yesterday morning I was greeted with temps in the upper 30's when I stepped out the door to head to work. I hate what follows fall, but love this time of year.

Sort of. Plans were to do morning chores, cut hay and do evening chores. Raining now, rain tomorrow and the next day and the next day.
Tractor and discbine will stay in the shed for awhile.

I might be there all day, but I won't be working.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...
