Yepper, the sub is ready. Oil changed, tires rotated and new wiper blades installed. It does have a right turn signal out so be careful down there Dale, insurance on this thing is a killer.

Unless they change the forecast, or miss it drastically, I'd say we're gonna have a short weekend.

Jim and I set the property with a few traps today- I would hope we can get through until Sunday morning. It's tough to set the creek, KNOWING it's gonna flood. Sigh.

Had a good time. Never stayed outside long enough to get soaked. Lots of good information and trading. The community center made a good base camp.(warm and dry) Hope Jim got the blood washed out of those 4 coyote hides. Tenman made boat oar chili.

The 15" cable stakes I made pulled easily. Some of them I didn't even have to hammer much to sink them.

Even our "black dirt" has a lot of clay in it. I got questioning comments on my 8" cables. Then I proceeded to bend two of them in half when I pulled them out today, set in a dirt field. A really WET dirt field.
