Hit my first fawn with the haybine today. Not a fan. Tore it up pretty good, and had to put it down. My neighbor was showing his grandkids some big hay bales and a fawn leg was sticking out of it.

Those events will sour your day. About 15 years ago, I had a mid-day accident with a doe that came sprinting out of thick woods and I center punched it with my vehicle. $10,000 damage to my vehicle. She was about to give birth to twin fawns. Nobody made it. Sick feeling. It all happens.

Weird morning. Was pulling some weeds out of the landscaping near the mailbox when two fawns approach me on the road. Seeing them out of the corner of my eye startled me to stand up, and they ran back across the roads to the strip of woods and swamp on the other side of the road. Feeling I'm about to get my ass kicked by momma doe I look around for her and see two does standing 100 yards up the highway to the north. I retreated inside the house to watch the twins reunite with mom from my front porch. Not too long and a doe walks out of the woods with the two fawns behind it heading to my neighbor's mulberry tree and bird feeder to the south. They get across the road and here comes the real Mom! Big doe! She must have gotten separated from her twins and she was coming in hot! Much bigger than the other doe. The two does rear up and fight for about a half a second before the smaller doe nopes out of there and Momma goes to her twins. Twins and Momma then retreat to the woods on the other side of the road with the twins very eager to see Mom.

We have a prepper guy that lives by us in Mn. Always keeps to himself, until yesterday. He stopped by to tell us he is selling out and moving to Idaho. And that he is having a one day private sale to sell all his extra guns, ammo and prepper crap he can’t take with. I don’t really need anymore guns or ammo, or any suspicious guns and ammo for that matter, but I am going to go look anyways. lol

We took a short little vacation up north. Washburn & Ashland area. NSP has a power plant in Ashland. They burn wood in the boilers. One hell of a pile already shredded. ![](https://i.ibb.co/wB97g8B/20240801-102743.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/FhLkW0j/20240801-102735.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/HTM28LW/20240801-102754.jpg) I noticed that earlier this spring.

That little stone building is about the cutest thing on your place Art. What was it originally built for? Summer kitchen?

A fairly large box elder tree fell across the highway just two doors down from my house this afternoon. Sorry, no pics. Some traffic was getting by going onto my neighbors yard, and was likely backed up a mile each direction. In the light rain I start walking over with the chainsaw in hand only to see the police pulling up. Figure they got it, and I go home. Get a call from the neighbor a few minutes later who is directly in front of the fallen tree, "They're looking for an axe! Can you help?" My pleasure. Fresh chain on the saw. Easy cutting wood. Cool temps. Must have been a sight to see longhair wearing shorts and man-sandles in a t-shirt (with goggles and ear muffs) working the orange Husquvarna while officers in uniform and then fully fitted fire fighters pulled the limbs away. I made damn sure not to get the saw pinched, and got it done in record time.
