...stopped here...and so did the fawn...
...and a couple of raccoons...
...along with the usual assortment of birds, turkeys, rabbits and squirrels...it's been a regular menagerie lately...not exactly sure why...but we do enjoy it.
You may remember during this past summer I was able to briefly escape the drudgery of my forced labor by cleverly convincing Karen I was busy doing her bidding of mowing the lawn...
...when in fact I was instead summoning the dreaded tree creature from the arboreal nether regions...
...much to her terrified chagrin...well, since then it seems the local squirrel population have become accustomed to Mr. Tree Creature and now employ him as a convenient rest stop on their way to and from their treetop abode...
...here's a little closer view...
...it's not as easy to get pics of the little tree rats here as it was when we lived in the city of Wyoming.
There the squirrels were actually unionized with a heavy gang influence...they used to roam around in hordes terrorizing the peaceful city dwellers, demanding entrance to our homes and strong arming peanuts as payola in exchange for not gnawing on our ankles when we ventured outside...
...terrifying, they were...but out here they're much more skittish, preferring to keep their distance and simply pelt us with acorns from on high.
No, really. You think I'd lie about that?
Been a tough week for hickory golf...
...it's been raining for days now...here are a couple of pics of my rain dials, formerly sun dials...
...here in Michigan once we reach fall and then winter, we've realized we no longer need to see the sun so we've conveniently replaced all that annoying sunshine with rain and clouds...
Even so I did manage to walk 9 on Thursday after work and had an ok round...parred the short par 4 hole 6, but that was the highlight...everything else was a study in mediocrity.
In spite of my less than stellar performance it was an enjoyable round...some solitude, some exercise and a very pleasant stroll through the country on a beautiful fall day.
Ok, so I don't wear "plus 4s" nor the loud argyle socks...but in the fall I do wear sweaters and a leather ivy cap.
Making some progress on Papa's Model T: The Amateur...
...about 8,000 words in now, so approaching the half way mark...been slowed by some work related issues, including yet another Saturday upgrade...this routine is getting old, but hopefully what we did today will solve some nagging system problems.
And that is probably more than enough for this edition of the Atomic Monster Cafe...I hear Karen ringing her servant's bell, which is my cue to bring her coffee and a piece of apple pie...
later, mcm fans...
