- Weekend of the Cornroast at Montcalms. Eric brought his boom truck and upstaged my potatoe gun demonstration. Emma was afraid to go up for a ride, but she screamed and jumped as she watched everyone else going. She also watched a calf being born and didn't like it very much.
- Built a new potato gun because Richard got a bin full of taters.
- Worked on the backhoe. Leveled and reinforced the washout on the north-west corner of the property. I've been filling it in with rocks, but it needed work on the retaining wall, so I piled up some boulders and that did the trick.
- Began cleaning the debris from along the ditch behind the chicken house.
- The big bull got his head stuck in the page wire and mangled part of the fence. Therefore I ran a strand of electric along the west and south side of the small pasture.
- Went for a 4 wheeler tour with my girls. We sampled fruit from our three apple trees and decided to prune them this fall. Two are good for eating and one produces good cooking apples.
- Took a break and went fishing for a bit on Monday. I was just about to give up when I caught a 4 pound small-mouth on a top water weedless frog. He was lurking under the overhanging branches of a tree and exploded through the surface to grab the frog. He gnawed up the lure pretty good. I feel pretty lucky to be able to fish in my backyard.
