We had a camper this past weekend. She has been indogs for a long time and she is owned by Springer Spanuals. She also knows Jean Hilbig. She had two dogs. a male ana female. Both were very good trackers. She learned a lot. WE did woods, areas that had moss, mowed grass. Her male needs a couple more tracks and he will be ready for TDX and with a bit work on hard surfaces, Vst is in his future. She asked lots of questions, which is always helpful. She has a TD on both dogs. I watched dog work and picked up flags. I managed that job very well. For an Old Man I thought I did qite well. We had great weather. When the sun came out, it was beautiful. When the clouds moved in and with the wind blowing it was very cool. So each day was a combination of great weather and cool weather. None of this bothered the dogs. You could see the work and track very well. It was a very good weekend and Susan Has lots of pictures to edit and theen sent them off to the student. We had a wonderful time.

Tomorrow begins the countdown to the replacement of my pacemaker.
Today was bloodwork at the hospital, covid test and then a call from the nurse about more of what I am alergic to and a few other things. I told her that I will have a catheter in me and that I wondered of they woiuld or might take it out, she said no. With my over active bladder and their not bringing me a urinal fast enough, I thought I might p*e the bed more than once and I didn't want to lay in my own urine. Now that will be no problem. I also have to remove my ni**le rings, they are nylon, but the Dr. wants them removed. No big deal.
I am sure they will make me lie in recovery for at least 3 hours, it will take two hours to get me ready. Susan will be a totally whipped puppy tomorrow night, so don't call her, I will be ok.
Tomorrow I have to shower after 8 PM and then again before I leave Wednesday morning. That is because I need to use this special soap that is supposed to reduce infection by cleaning the skin.
Then tomorrow I have to call to find out what time I have to be there for this whole procedure begins. So we won't know what time we have to leave the lake. Takes almost an hour to get there.
Once I am in recovery, I will post that I am fine. Susan will drive me home.
Then the recovery process will begin. I hope it is not as long and as involved as the first one. Everyone says it is not bad at all. They said that about the first one, that was awful.
So Wednesday I won't be here to post images, many of which I wish I had made, but there are many others who make great images.
So be well friends, God Bless and keep you and let his face shine upon you. Be of good cheer.

Surprise, we got Indian Pipes. I had thought they were a fungi, but my friend James B. Eblin told us they are a flower. Very unique. Susan found about 5 clumps of them. I saw 3 clumps of them and made some Images of them. Not great images, but you can see them. Susan made some with her camera which are much better. Susan will post her images later I believe.

At Lab Land and the fire is still burning . I was able to rekindle the fire with what hadn't burned up. Just a small fire today.

Today After lots of rain and such, the fire pit dried out enough to start a fire. It didn't take long to get a fire going. I had a huge fire. Some of the brush from the tree top that came down on the path, lots of other stuff all went up in flames. I had a great fire. I even had a number of logs that I put on the fire, would have been great to roast marshmellows over and eat them. No sticks for marshmellows and no marshmellows.

We had a light wind from the South, so it seemed, the wind kept moving around. It was hard to tell which way the wind was blowing at times. The smoke was traveling North most of the time, but now and then, no matter which side of the fire I was on, smoke got in your eyes.

Got most of the stuff burned, still lots of brush to get picked up, the trail is open to walk on and Holly walks it every day.Now the trail is ok, could be cleaned up more and that is the job for the future.

The chainsaw runs great. Takes a while to warm up and it cuts the trees very nice.

Now all I have to do is mow and mow. I got a ton of mowing to do. So it looks like I will be mowing a lot.

A couple of years ago I lost my "back sighting compass" I searched high and low, no compass. I bought another one, they are expensive, but I said I would find my compass one of these days. I also used it now and then at Lab Land when I plotted atrack.

Well today I found it. Susan had her tracking briefcase, a soft one, and I took it outside to blow off all the dog and cat hair. I went through it to see what she had. It was a big help. In one pocket was the compass. Also a timer/ clock and other assorted stuff a tracking judge would carry. Bland maps for a test, certification slips, and lots of odds and ends.

I knew I would find the compass. I did go buy another one, they are over $60. Thank God for free shipping, well we know it is not free, but in the end we all pay some for it.

I had thought that I may have loaned it to someone and they didn't give it back. Turns out it was always "All in the Family" the whole time. Susan said she had looked there a couple of years ago, but didn't find it. Also she has a great whistle. I blew it, wow, you can hear it a very long way away. I rarely use a whistle anymore. I got two of them that are very special to me.

I also got some mowing done at Lab Land. The rain sure makes the ferns grow like weeds. They were "taking over" the trails at Lab Land.

The Game Cam is set up at Lab Land. We got deer, a couple of fawns, 4 crows that are always there, a Coopers Hawk, and the ususal creatures you get in the woods. No bears yet.

I got gas today, so now I can mow more at Lab Land. I was out of fuel and so a trip to the gas station to get Rec Fuel. Rec Fuel is gas without ethanol and is 90 octane and you don't have to worry about not running your engines and the fuel pulling the mnoisture out of the air and making your motors hard to start and messing up yout carburators. So now I can mow away. There is a lot to mow.

So that is the report from Lab Land and slowley I am getting the place looking better. Lots of Black-eyed Susans growing and will be spreading their seeds.

Have fun y'all, enjoy your dogs, they are not with us long enough. God Bless y'all and be of good cheer.
