Enjoyed an evening around the fire pit at the Hole In the Wall this evening. Daddy Bear and the Raven Clan were in camp for the night. Had a great visit and some good coffee while sitting around the pit. Little Raven and Little Moose had the sand hill to themselves without the interference from those of the female specie. The two boys had a great time playing.
Consensus around the fire pit was similar to my earlier observation, the yard beautification project at the Moose Camp was very nice and although the flowers are growing rapidly at the Wolf Den, additional work is needed to bring it up to the quality level of the Moose landscaping project.
The electrical monitor also discovered where the noise was coming from that has been disrupting the pristine quietness of the Hole In the Wall. It may also be the cause for the fire that erupted that I described in an earlier posting. Seems as if some fan was left on in the one wheeled recreational vehicle that was parked next to the fire pit. Since Memorial Day, this little fan has been running 24 / 7 which also accounts for the fact that the battery was not fully charged. Don't worry about it, the Golden Granny will not get the electrical bill for another week, then you need to worry!
Had the Kid's Derby today so I spent sometime at the AA, even worked the counter for a short time, it reinforced my concept of retirement! A 25.2 pound King Salmon won the Derby. Daddy Moose and Daddy Bear fished together this morning, don't tell anyone but several very young fishermen on the river out fished the two of them together! I guess, I should take the time to once again take them fishing and see if I can introduced the concept of fishing to them, like catching a fish! The new smokehouse is almost done, so it is time that I return to my fishing. I figure that I can smoke 23 King Salmon or 51 Silver Salmon at a time. By the way, whatever happened to all that King Salmon that was smoke during the Memorial Day trip? Did anybody get a sampling of it?
