Happy Thoughts

Right now we can’t get the local PBS station, so wife can’t watch Nature shows, but they put that stuff easily online (youtube, I think), so it’s easily watchable on our “smart” tv.

Happy wife = much less strife in my life

Hey, that’s sexist!

My son took me and a couple uwaterloo students duck hunting this morning. Had a good time, shot my first duck.

I called the students stormtroopers but I don’t think they got the reference.

My son has a decoy that is just a ducks butt that sticks out of the water and wiggles around like a feeding duck.

He calls it kim (As in, Kardashian).

My son finished in 38 minutes, which is 2 minutes faster than he ran it last year, and he didn’t stop to walk, so it was a good race.

My husband ran the 5k in 22:38. Not bad for a 44 year old who didn’t train for it. Came in 12th overall and 3rd in his age group.

First snow of the winter. Took our dog out to see how they’d do hunting. Poorly it turns out, but they had fun.

But the dog does have the basics. Hunting dogs are cool to watch. Our dog does the back and forth thing automatically, they run out about 50 yards, then back to me, then back out again, back and forth. Pointed a few times but who knows, I didnt see anything when they pointed.

pointed out that hey, all this snow is so fun and I love running in it!

My neighbor’s leaf people are sucking up the leaves into a truck. The leaves are all down. As soon as this is done, I expect to stop having to hear leaf blowers until next year. :slight_smile:

Mine aren’t blown, but I’ll try to be quiet enough that you don’t hear me.

Even if I had blown all that were on the ground, at least 25% are still on the trees.

Gonna make a big pot of butternut squash soup tonight!!! :yum:

Would be a happier thought if you had a way to share it with us. The real soup, not just a picture

If you were in the neighbourhood, I would save you a bowl!!!

I am in your neighbourhooud, depending on epsilon of course.

No need for the second “u”, but that was sweet of you to consider it! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Mine don’t usually fall of until January, then the new ones are mostly back in February.
