The week before
I’ve been head down, nose to the grindstone this past week…
because…
ROAD TRIP is a week away!!
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.
Loading has commenced.
Both Wild Thing and Jeeper have had a multitude of maintenance and are ready to roll.
I am also.
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.
Meanwhile…
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.
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.
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.
Below is the first capture of wild life.
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.
I didn’t know until I saw the photos that the temperature and moon phase are also recorded.
I’m kind of happy with this thing.
Onward with preparations: the week before.
