THE POLARIS WE USE FOR CHECKING OUT TRAILS OR JUST FOR FUN!
THE ELECTRIC GATE WE LIVE BEHIND, WE HAVE A CODE TO GET IN!
Had a unique experience yesterday! I was telling a ranger that I haven't seen any wild hogs yet, he says "jump in my truck, if you don't mind riding along I just got a call there are 3 wild hogs down the road and I have to shot them", I said "hell yes, let's go"!! I stayed by the truck while he and another guy went out in the swamp looking for them, I heard three shots, I guess they got 2, they dragged one out for me to check out, it was a sow and she was huge, the other one was a boar and one got away! Wild hogs are so distructive here, causing thousands of dollars worth of damage, they have to constantly keep them under control because they breed like rabbits! But I couldn't wait to tell Craig, he was out cutting grass most of the day, which he enjoys on a big Z-mower!
Got sick of waiting on the camera charger to come so I drove to a Best Buy in Vero Beach to day and bought a battery charger! Been taking pictures of nature all day as you can see! But most of all I got to take over 200 pictures of my e-bay merchandise so I can list my Christmas items! I bet now that I have this charger mine will show up tomorrow!!
Craig took Brooks the other volunteer out to shut the main gate and make sure everyone is out for the night! He is a sweet guy, I think he is lonely because his wife wouldn't be here for a couple of weeks yet! I told him we'll have a bonfire this weekend after we finish at the visitor center, we'll see if Pat and Jerry want to join us too!
Getting use to this place now and loving it, I feel like I am living on a farm but instead of cows and chickens we have deer, manatees, and wild hogs! Craig loves it, he never has been the social butterfly I am, lol! Can't wait until the other couple show up in December, I guess they are quite the characters, they sit around a bonfire about every night, this is like the 2nd or 3rd time they have been here and have a few good stories to tell! I still miss my kids and grandkids, can't get away from that, my sons are going thru some rough times right now but are tough and know what they gotta do, my daughter's son and my Grandson has been very ill with Menegitis in Arizona, she is in Virginia and worried sick but he is doing well now, thank God! They have always put one foot in front of the other and kept on going, always making me proud!
Well, tomorrow when we all wake up we will find out if we have a new president or the same guy! We voted absentee ballot before we left Michigan! So you all get out there and vote!!!! Until then next time, God Bless!
