I'd be happy to share just a little bitty piece of the heat...say ...maybe 10 degrees more. The faces on TV keep talking about a "warming trend" but I haven't seen it yet. I know I'm wimping out on chasing the big lake trout but it's just not fun any more standing in an open boat in 40F air and 42 degree water and dodging rain drops. It was fun trying to trick king salmon into biting orange spinners with snow falling and the boat bumping into ice...can you outgrow that spark of enthusiasm?????
Could be worse. You could have an unwanted visitor like my buddy in Alberta. And remember he’s only 100 miles away. 😊 This was at the cattle guard about 50’ from his front door. Never touched the Cattle in the field or the bee hives. But right at sunrise, just as I’d be going to the blind behind him in the field.

Hard to tell but they are always happy with sweet stuff.

Do you think that cute little bear can jump a cattle guard??
He crossed it on the video. I just took a snapshot before he went out of sight. The camera is on the post on the fence right at the cattle guard. He’s smart enough to know not to kill cattle. He didn’t look like it was starving. Haha
Probably going after the fawns.

Or calf. MT ranchers are losing spring calves to wolves and bears.
No calves. But the cattle are only 2 years old. It’s surprising that he didn’t try. Now that doesn’t mean he didn’t try one of his neighbors.
but he hadn’t heard anything.
I said as long as he’s not sitting in the house having breakfast when you get there. Haha. All good.
Maybe he’s just waiting for the hives to be full of honey.
Haha

That's what I always say when I want somethng...."hi honey".
On a serious note....has anyone done a selective diff on the rear of a 700? Last time I asked the answer was get a "1000".

Those are some of my best memories as a kid. Forearms all scratched and throwing bales up on the wagon. Then sitting on top of the hay coming down the hill with the horses trying to push back on the weight trying to run them over. Then making tunnels in the hay mound in the barn. Plus the smell of the fresh cut hay.

Same here except we didn't use horses. We called it bucking hay, We would buck hay onto the truck / trailer and then into the hay loft, usually a three man operation in the loft. When we got the electric conveyor we were in heaven! The good ole days, we hauled hay for .03 a bale and split it 3 ways. Farmer supplied truck & trailer. We were in tall cotton at those wages!

I grew too old I guess but we used a conveyor run by a canvas belt off the PTO. It was the same conveyor that my Grand Dad ran off his old Massey Furgie. I remember my Dad telling how I got buried under a bale with only my legs sticking out. I think my reward was being tasked with cranking the ice cream maker.

Cause you have one of those fancy 1K machines. Us poor folk with the puny 700 have locked rear ends. Yes I'm whining about it since I think Mother Honda should fix that design error.
My neighbor at my camp moved there in the 70’s from the US. That’s how they started doing everything when they first moved there. Churned their butter and stacked loose hay. It only lasted a few years.
too much work.
And the horses were only st my dad’s cousin, who was in his 80’s then. We went from farm to farm doing hay for weeks. Never got a dime, but was always fed really well. I went to a funeral a few years ago, Angus Beaton. He had 3 girls, all around my age. I wasn’t sure his wife would even remember us. Me and my brother. I caught her looking at us and waved us over. When she found out who we were, she said she has a picture of us working the hay in the field, still on her fridge.
working the hay and looking at the girls. 😂😂

Funny how the hay seems to slip away and the chicks remain...better that way I suppose!
