Finally back to working on the shelter project and the pond dam project. This week I will install an overflow pipe at the dam. So all the logs that were left at the dam had to be removed. Annette and I had time yesterday to move most of the large ones. Only a couple small piles remain.

Why do racoons lick the post on my porch? Every night for a week .... just weird. We started seeing foot prints on the post so we set up a trail camera.

It's the raccoon version of being a window licker. He's special, leave him alone.

Was going to take a canoe ride but.....Holy buckets of snakes!!!

After a year of working on the pond the project is just about to the end. Fish and wildlife folks came out and shot a level line for me today. We have a mini excavator on reserve for next week. Next week the drain will go in and the dam will be leveled with dirt. This year's work consisted of removing 50 or so trees, a repair to the breach in the dam, digging an emergency over flow and of course the building of the road to the pond. Wow it has been a hard year.
