That looks like a Horton STOL kit on the bird...I had one and they are great addition to low speed flying.
31F and dark.
Looks like we'll be getting Ricks cold air in a few days.

Cool. Yeah we had a lot around the camp in Cape Breton, but the natives can hunt them 365, so there isn’t any moose when they drive through. Damn shame. It was always nice seeing them or even their tracks.

I’ll be glad to get the cold weather around at night. It’s 40 degrees here, at 1:45 am, bedroom window open and just a sheet and blanket, and I had to get up I was so hot.
No heat on upstairs at all.
So Tuesday night should be cool.

Cow moose with calves scare me more than bears...don't trust em...the cows always have that look like they're ready to stomp me.
Maybe 9 or 10 years ago at our other house North of Sandpoint we had a 2 year old calf after mom dumped her at the house. For a year she hung around and loved the flowers in the yard and Birch tree sprouts and branches... I found her up the mountain killed by wolves...not eaten just killed. I always have a wolf tag and hear them but never see them. Elk have moved off too and mule deer are seldom seen now in that area.
28 and still dark.

A few years ago in Southern Alberta, I was walking with my buddy around his ranch picking up cameras, and a giant black wolf took off running and ran right towards his house. It was like he knew what was coming. Ed has a Browning semi 270. He opened up and the bullets were hitting just behind his feet as he was zig zagging. He ran past the house and kept going. Man he was big. He said they can get to 175lbs.
Our friend was coming late, he said he saw this black wolf run across in front of him at full tilt. And didn’t stop.
Another ranch we hunt I walked up on a moose kill. The wolves had the skin pulled up over the back, and everything was gone except everything inside. I was definitely on High alert. I had a wolf tag too.
A guy we didn’t know, who was hunting on the ranch too, had a Chev 1/2 ton and had something in the back. I asked if I could come look. It was a white with black spots wolf. He was on the tailgate and got pushed into the back. It’s ass was bent on one side and head bent on the other. And about 18” thick. Or more. I never thought a wolf could get that big. But he’d be able to take down a moose with a friend or two.

30 and rising along with the sun. Must be lunch time in NS by now.
We have some black bears down here and big cats but mostly coyotes but my .17 HMR works great on them...no exit wound like the 22 mag makes.

Haha, my friend in Alberta has a 17
He has a nice scope and uses it for the gophers. He said in the spring it’s not hard to shoot over 50. Then the hawks and golden eagles that nest around his field have easy food.

i use a pellet gun with a little drop of diesel behind the pellet to "discourage" the crows and canada geese from crapping everywhere. the crows get it quick and steer clear.

Hmmm we have that problem with turkeys...I've appointed our 100 lb red Lab to solve that problem...pellet gun would be cheaper to feed.
Stay safe brother. Get in and get out, with maybe a good meal in there.
Fingers crossed on the Windy City weather.
Is C going with you ?
Take care.

Hahaha, probably right, but wouldn’t be as much fun as watching someone else work. 😊
My brother has. Chocolate Lab, not a year yet. It’s like she’s on a spring. I have a Nova Scotia Duck Toller and he had lots of energy as a pup, but she is constant.
