Packer game

My weekend was interrupted in a good way in that I was again invited to attend a Packer football game with a friend from work. Nice to know someone with season tickets that is willing to share once in a while. What a great game to see in that the Packers beat the Cowboys 45-7.


Running:
Running wise for last week it was déjà-vu from the previous week. I ran five days at work 5 miles each day over the same course again. The only difference from last week is that all my runs were less than 40 minutes. I took Saturday off. Sunday morning I ran 8.5 miles in 1:06:19.   This gave me again 33.5 miles for the week just like the previous one. So totals through 11/7.
WTD 33.5
MTD 33.5
YTD 1907
ODO 27073

Hunting:
Only got out hunting a little on Saturday. In the morning I hunted the stand where I got the 2 bucks already this year. I could see the scrape I hunt over was still being worked by another buck so I knew there was at least one around still. I didn’t see anything though. I didn't see anything and only hunted until 9:00 and then decided to go on a short scouting trip. I found a few hunting spots on the conservancy land that I can easily get to from the land I have permission to bow hunt on. I’ll need to approach the landowner to see if she has any issue with my using this route to gun hunt this spot later this month and in December. I can get to it from the parking spot on the conservancy, but it is a real long walk coming from that way. Saturday evening I decided real late to just go hunt out in the back yard. I wasn’t there more than 20 minutes when two does came in to feed on my food plot. I could have shot either one of them at some point, but chose to just watch. They were kind of nervous and only hung around for about 15 minutes before walking back in the direction they came from. I haven’t seen the buck yet that has been scraping up trees in my yard. This next weekend I will be heading up north to get my gun stands ready and also do a little bow hunting up in Bayfield.

Gardening:
Amazing how warm it turned again. We’ve had 4 or 5 days in a row over 60 degrees which is crazy for this time of year. I cleaned the pond real good over the weekend so hopefully other than cleaning an occasional filter and fishing out a few leaves there won’t be much to do until spring. I got all the gutters cleaned once more too. However with the way the leaves are falling so slowly this year I will likely have to perform this task one more time before winter. I got the lawn mowed one more time, so I think now this will be the last other than maybe to bag some more leaves using the mower. Only a few things remain in the garden to harvest. We’ve had a few real good freezes so the only things to make it are the root crops like beets and carrots, the Brussel sprouts, and some lettuce that I had covered with a tarp.
