This doesn't show the addition on the back of the house which is 14' X 20' . I have been on the roof on the upper level in the back and figured if I fell off onto the addition roof it would be from 6' to 12' . On the edges , it's over 20' .

Thanks for the input . At 76 years of age I have kinda had it with the top roof . I have a 34' fiberglass ladder and that sucker is heave and a bit difficult to stand up . Years ago my wife thought it would be nice to plant some honey locust trees and some clump birch . Leaves galore ! I can clean and flush the lower gutters but the upper ones are no easy chore . I was able to flush the rear upper gutter a couple months ago but couldn't get the last 9' using a jet wash and a long pole as the downspout was clogged . I figured a way to get the heavy ladder stood up in front but again , the downspout was clogged . The groud slants away from the house so the ladder wants to tip . So , $140 and no broken bones and no hospital visit .

I saw an ad on Groupon for Gutter Cleaning for $79 . I called the company which is located in Rochester . Because of the distance we agreed to $100 even . They showed up today and started the work . The guy told me it would be an extra $40 because they had to snake out the two upper down spouts . I wasn't surprised that they needed it as they were not draining much water at all . Plus , I had them cut off a few gutter guards that needed it . So it cost me $140 and my ancient butt did not have to go up on a ladder to do the chore . I have approximately 180 - 190 feet of gutter . The down spouts that had to be snaked are each at least 20' long . Has anyone ever hired someone to do this ?

I remember taking the kids to Lolli Pop farm . You put money in a feed dispenser , turn the crank and the goats would all head toward toward the noise .They were conditioned to the sound and knew there would be feed there . I would imagine it would be quite similar with a feed dispenser for deer or other wildlife .

Try that while hunting with a bow during archery season .You set up in the food plot and I will setup at the bait pile and tell me they are equal or that there is no advantage .

Let's say you plant a half acre food plot . The deer could come in to feed anywhere and not always the same place . Most food plots are even bigger in size . You have to guess where to put your stand or blind . Now instead of a food plot you put out a corn pile or a pile of apples . The deer will come to the pile and there is no guessing as to where to have a stand or blind . They will come to a specific spot . If you shoot a deer in an apple orchard , no problem . If you take a pile of apples and place them in the woods , it's baiting . Hunting near an oak tree is okay but don't go out and pick up a bunch of acorns and place them by your stand . I don't have a food plot and I don't bait and I think anyone who says they are the same is full of crap !

Awesome looking buck .......

I was avoiding telling about my boring sit yesterday . I was in the double chair blind by 6:40 am and stayed there until 11 am . Nuttin ! Left and came back around 1 pm . Checked the trail cam out by the ditch . No deer pics on there in about 5 days . Stayed until sunset . I should have taken a book to read .

I should have stayed home and raked leaves. .... Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Glad I brought the empty Gaterade bottle. Been drinking a lot of water to keep the kidneys flushed . Next time I will bring a gallon jug . Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I heard a couple shots earlier. It could have been duck hunters . Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

It's cold and quiet in the woods . No ducks in the swamp either . Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Checked the Temps a few minutes ago and it is COLD . I will use the double chair blind to stay out of the wind .. Almost all of the deer pics have been at Zero Dark Thirty and have been few . C'mon Deer !!!!!!

If I say Yote , will I get a Participation Trophy ?

I am going to try my friend's property in Walworth tomorrow . It doesn't look very promising but it can't be any worse or more boring than what I have been accustomed to so far this season . It's a 10 mile drive vs 50 .

Grampy --- Glad you are doing well , Kid .....

I think they have been misspelling "MILO" ........

There is very little I need . I usually wait until after deer season and buy stuff that is on sale . The problem is I have bought stuff that I don't use . I just gave my wife the info on the Thermacell Heated Foot Warmers . Other than that , There is little that I need . I must be doing okay because I no longer get Cologne !

A $100 purse to carry $20 .......

My wife asked me what I would like for Christmas. This might be a good gift Thanks ... Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Since there are only a couple weeks left of deer hunting I was thinking of putting some "Flex Seal" on the boots and see if that helps . I bought a pint can to use on the Flashing on the roof around the base of the stove pipe and have plenty left over . It's worth a shot .

To some people , the small fine is a slap on the wrist . The punishment needs to fit the crime !

Do you Prune / Dump some old posts to make room for current items ?

Does anyone use the Thermacell foot warmers with the remote control ?
