Been a busy few days off. Yesterday I decided to attack Satan’s Putting Green for the first time this year. I let it go so that the bees would have some fine cuisine until the major flowers started blooming. Well, that might have been an error, no matter how well intentioned. Anyone with Army experience would know the term “significant vegetation”. This refers to an amount of vegetation in which you could provide concealment to troops. That described my yard until yesterday. I attacked it with my industrial strength weed whacker and beat it into submission. Now it no longer looks like a pasture gone wild and sort of resembles a lawn that has been ravaged by a demented greenskeeper. All this allowed me to set out today on an activation at Little Buffalo State Park. Propagation was not the best but we logged 12 contacts including some park-to-parks and had an enjoyable time. We got slow drive bys from the park ranger and had some curious looks from fisher folks but no one approached us. As always, we left no trace of our prescience. All in all a good time was had by all. A father with 2 sons parked next to us did ask me what we were doing as we were packing up. I told him and his son proudly showed me the 2 trout he had caught. I am attaching some pics of our set up along with some cat pics because my cats have positive ions. All cations are positive. Namaste, kidlets.
