Deer Season and Christmas Shopping, oh my.

 Thursday 26 November 2020   Happy Thanksgiving

   We spent Thanksgiving at the Country Cupboard in Lewisburg with Shane, Morgan, Chris, Tom and the kids.  Only 8 of this year with COVID and all, but we had a good time.  You had to have reservations this year which meant no wait in line.  We all had the buffet it  was as good as ever.  Seems I was the only one who didn't plan ahead and wear stretchy pants,  I won't make that mistake again.  It was a nice day for the drive we even spent a little time walking through the shops.  We made it back just after 5pm flopped down in our chairs and called it a day.

   I was up getting ready to head to the cabin when the phone rings.  Lorin has a water leak in the house so we couldn't leave until that was fixed.  I headed to his place around 8:30, him and Logan were waiting on me.  We packed the truck and hit road around 9am.  First stop 9:15 McDonalds for breakfast, next was Williamsport for gas then Wellsboro for lunch and finally made it to the cabin about 2pm.  Unpacked, turned on the heater and started getting ready for the first day of buck hunting, this year you could hunt Saturday and Sunday.....oh my.  Meanwhile back at the camper Diane was Christmas shopping which included a stop at McCurdy's tree farm.

Saturday 28 November 2020

   We were all up at 3AM, we had breakfast and off to the mountain.  Parked a little after 5am and walked a hour and a half to our spot.  We hunted all day, all three of us and I saw one(1) deer, a not legal spike.  It was a nice day, but come on.....one deer.  We drug our butts back to camp after being stopped by the game warden for a spot check, we passed.  After dinner we were extremely tired I caved first and went to bed around 8:30. Mean while Diane was Small Business shopping with Mel.  

Sunday 29 November 2020 2nd day of buck

   We got up at 4:30 and had eggs and sausages for breakfast and parked at 7am.  Just a little off yesterdays pace.  Logan is not even hunting but he is along to scout for bear which comes back in Monday.  Hunted almost all day and didn't see a deer.  Hardly anyone hunting which means the deer aren't moving around. Back to the cabin better days ahead.  Oh yea, today Diane shopped with Lynne.

Monday 30 November 2020 3rd day buck and bear is back in.

   Lorin was up at 5am just as rain started.  I was up at 6 and Logan at 7am.  The rain was steady and suppose to last all day.   Sooooo we packed and came home.  I  walked in the moho after lunch Diane is wrapping gifts with the whole sofa covered with already wrapped one.  At least one of us was productive this weekend.

Tuesday 1 December 2020

   I can't believe it is December already.  But no time to lolly gag there is a lot to due.  Diane made a Rite aid run while I dumped tanks and worked around the camper.  We still don't have anyone here to check the slide out.  One guys is supposed to "come take look" next Tuesday.  Mean time I've called another guy waiting to hear back.  As you guys know we have a tendency to look at auctions.  Today was one of those days.  Diane found three cast iron vehicles (car, John Deer tractor and wagon) she had to have and I found a brand new cross bow.  We spent a few hours researching the thing, called the manufacture and came up with a good price $1100.  All went well until we hit a $1000 when the screen just showed our bid as pending.  Franticly we called the auctioneer he was looking into as the minutes past our bid came up as "not approved"  To make the long story even longer when the auctioneer called back he said it did appear we bid first but not approved first and blah, blah, blah he was really sorry.  We were so upset even Rudy wanted some wine.  Anyway we will survive I'm sure.  Another glass of wine and off to bed without our new cross bow.

Wednesday 2 December 2020

   Another crazy day.  Diane is going to Wellsboro today, spending the night so she can go to her dentist appointment tomorrow at 8:30(getting permanent crown).  She will also be shopping her way up and back I'm sure.  Of course we ran out of propane last night(3am) so I was off to get propane this morning, first place was closed and second was busy but I persevered.  She was waiting at the door when I returned.  I walked in she walked out and was off.  I got busy with phone calls, researching parts for the Moho, arranging times to pick up our winnings, plus I had to figure out how to take pictures and email them from my phone and lastly I had to set IP address for the printer(that was tuff).  Now I'm about brain dead when the phone rings and my doctor wants to see me next week for my checkup before refilling my prescriptions.
