I’ve been head down, nose to the grindstone this past week…<\/p>\n

because…<\/p>\n

ROAD TRIP is a week away!!<\/p>\n

As long as the sky does not fall nor too much snow (not in the forecast), Bear, Auggie and I are set to board Wild Thing and roll in a generally southerly direction to my folks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Loading has commenced.<\/p>\n

Both Wild Thing and Jeeper have had a multitude of maintenance and are ready to roll.<\/p>\n

I am also. <\/p>\n

The plan is to finish loading and go when ready next Friday. The first night is always a short hop of 110 miles and from there direction will be determined by weather.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve been wanting to get a game camera and with the excuse of keeping an eye on things while we’re gone, I bought one. <\/p>\n

I have it temporarily on the ladder so I can move it around and decide which tree and how high on the tree to get the best view.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is rather a cool thing. It has a motion sensor and you can set how long after motion is detected to either take photos or video and how many\/how long. At night, the infrared thing kicks in.<\/p>\n

Below is the first capture of wild life.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pretty wild, eh??? In case you are confused…Bear to the right (the 2 white dots are his eyes in infrared) and me on an after dinner down the driveway walk. Sunset is about 6:45 now, so it was full dark at 7:32.<\/p>\n

I didn’t know until I saw the photos that the temperature and moon phase are also recorded.<\/p>\n

I’m kind of happy with this thing.<\/p>\n

Onward with preparations: the week before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
