Today was the much anticipated homemade beef pot pie at the Shirk house. Diane has been cooking beef bones for 30 hours. She gather up all the other ingredients and headed to Lynn's about 2:30 to put everything together. I came back home cleaned up around the camper and recovering from the trip to Virginia. I hit my head hard on the edge of the slide out to the point I almost fell down. So if I act a little funny you will know why. I headed over at 5:30, Diane and Lynne declared it done around 6:30. Oh boy was that good. We all had seconds. We talked for a while Rick is counting down the days until he gets a new hip and were on our way home by 8pm.

Getting prepared for the trip to Cole's(Tioga county) tomorrow. Diane went to the grocery store, bank, Karen's and to Lynne's to pick up stuff we forgot last night. We broke down and got another storage unit to put stuff in. So this afternoon we took our first load out of the Moho. Wow it didn't take much to fill it up. We thought it would be big enough that we wouldn't have to stack it from floor to ceiling but I was wrong. We will have to redo it after hunting season is over.

A lovely day for a drive. Once again we tried to leave early but it was 11:00 until we left and the first stop was the storage unit (Giant for the Moho), it was 11:30 when we left Giant. But we were fueled up, just one stop on the way and we parked in Middlebury Center at 3pm. After hooking up the electric I headed over to Ben's to get my tree stand. I was back here before dark and Diane had almost everything else ready to go. We finished cell booster antenna, tv satellite dish, and were ready for burgers on the grill by 6:30 that included time for some wine.

Up at 4am for hunting. I rolled out the door by 5:30 and in my stand by 6 o'clock. Three hours later I came in for breakfast without seeing a deer. Sausage and eggs for breakfast(Diane cooked inside). Diane cleaned up and ran down to Peg Omar's for bologna and cheese while Rudy and I napped. The weather here has been wonderful on the verge of record setting high. Temp's in the 70's and lows in the 30's and herein lies the problem. I go out in the morning long johns, heavy coat, hat and gloves and I'm froze by 8am and wet sweated by the time I get to the truck. I headed back out at 2:30 didn't see a thing until 4:30 when two buck walked by. I was to be back at 5 so we could meet Dave and Julie for diner in Wellsboro. I came close it was 5:15 a quick shower and we were on our way. Diner at the Wellsboro House food was good and company was great. Diane had pan seared scallops and I had pan seared shrimp with a vegie medley both were good. We sat and talked for a while after diner and didn't get back until after 8:30.
