  1. I will get it when I can for the same reason I wear a seat belt and a helmet and those who don't should do it for the same reason. Because I feel it is the right choice for me. Not because of Andrew Cuomo's opinion, Donald Trump's opinion, my bosses opinion or random internet-people's opinions. If your choice is different than mine then good for you. If you feel that makes me a sheep then good for you too. I won't get all butt-hurt over it because internet people aren't real. :)

    If you don't wear your seatbelts and go through the windshield it's no skin off my ass, if you choose not to get any vaccine, whatever your reasons, and get sick, it's no skin off my ass. I might think it was a poor decision but I'm not going to ride you about it because, well, see above.

     

    My wife doesn't want it now because she feels it it too new but is willing in the future if it proves to be safe.  I would take a vaccine for athletes foot if someone came up with one.

  2. Yep. And it will eventually fill in everything if you don't stay on top of it. I have a piece of old pasture about 6 acres that was left alone for about 5 years and it filled completely in with honeysuckle and buck brush. Took me two winters of solid work to get it cleaned out to where we can use it again.

  3. Got all my debt paid off except the mortgage (never going down that road to nowhere again!); not only did I stay working but we are still getting a $3/hour bonus for working during the Chinaids. 

    I took a new position at work where I make more money and only work 3 and a half days a week instead of 6.  Consequently I have more money coming in and less going out and tons of extra time so I've been able to take care of a bunch of stuff that's been falling behind over the years.  I am also happier due to the reduced stress of the work I'm doing now compared to what I was doing. 

    We had some trouble with a few things (had to replace washing machine and POS Buderus boiler) but since we don't have a bunch of loans and credit cards it was more of an inconvenience than an emergency.

    I don't travel much, don't like parties or crowds or being out around people generally; "social distancing" for everyone else is normal for me; so in that respect, other than the damned masks, my day to day hasn't changed much at all.

    I didn't get a deer but I saw some, only got out goose hunting a couple times and didn't get any, but I'll have next year. With the new department I moved up on the vacation seniority list from #6 to #2 so I'm already planning for next fall.

  4. I know someone who uses a set of the clamp on forks on a loader to move logs onto the landing for his sawmill. They seem to handle that well. As long as the bucket is good and square; otherwise by the time you get 4' out to the end of the forks there can be quite a difference between them.

  5. A few small groups here and there but nothing close or heading my way. Mostly 4 to 9, one small flock of 20 or so.

    This field we've been seeing most of them go over after 9 so I'm not too discouraged yet.

  6. First time out this season. Just me and my 2 dozen decoys. 12 dive  bomb socks, 12 old outlaw silos I got at a garage sale and my old rattle-can camo mossy 500. Don't know if I'll do much, but I'm out, and sometimes that's enough!
