OSUT 258: Better late than never....Summer Days are Near

[Hardscrable]

Evening fellas. Glad I mowed last evening, had nice breeze and was partly cloudy and bit cooler than tonite. Hope it cools a bit before next time.

Was leaving Syracuse today and I swear there was a single quail in the middle of the road in factory and RR track area. I haven’t seen or heard one in 35, 40 years. But don’t know what else it could have been.

 

[Hardscrable]

In the early 1900s Wawasee, Syracuse, and our lake were dredged for marl and it was shipped by rail to Syracuse cement plant. A barge sunk on our lake, stories vary as to exact cause. Anyway yesterday Camp Mack had a drone up taking pics. This is of the barge. Totally different perspective than just passing by the buoys marking it in a boat.

Evenin' Hardscrable. When we went to visit Susan's friend down near Salem, we heard at least one. It had been a long time since I'd heard "Bob White".

How deep is it there?

Tomorrow is a Knozone action day, but I don't think there are any restrictions on mowing for Juneteenth.

Hey, if people get the day off from work than I get the day off from mowing.

In my area several winters ending with blizzard of ‘78 wiped most of them out. Then a winter ‘83 finished rest. Plus most all of their habitat disappeared.

Was at a customers house 2 years ago I believe and heard one or 2... haven't heard any since.

I went ahead and mowed mine today, the clover has been growing

I noticed the rabbits are chomping on the little white tops. Lots of rabbits, lots of clover.
Critters are doing me a favor.

How deep is it there?

Towards shore is basically next to nothing. Opposite side with green water is 25’+/-. Each end is shallow. Water level right now is probable still slightly above “normal.”

Just cleaned up my scrap pile from.... when ever.


Now only if my place in Franklin was open to give me $$

How much scrap, can you haul at a time?

When I was probably 14 or 15, I was hunting rabbits with my dad somewhere up near Lebanon. We were walking along a railroad track and flushed a covey of quail. I didn't even get my shotgun all the way up to my shoulder and fired into the middle of them and managed to hit one. Mom cooked it for me when we got home and that is still one of the most delicious meats I've ever eaten.

Yah quail is pretty darn good.

Good evening people

I only had it once after that. I took some girl from Lafayette down to Indy to go out to dinner at a fancy restaurant and I had "stuffed baby quail". Still wasn't as good as the one I shot.
