Thanksgiving

[Bibbyman]

Real nutso day!  Just got my pancakes eat when there was a knock on the door.  It was a guy that lives up the road that we'd sawn for before.  He wanted to know if I'd saw some logs for him.  Sure. Well,  he'd bring them Sunday and just drop off the trailer. Would that be Ok? Sure.  He leaves. The three granddaughters were pretty active and under foot so I decided I 'd take them up to my folk's house to visit for a while. Mary approved.  While visiting with them,  Mom got  a phone call.  It was a guy wanting a cedar mantelpiece sawn out.  We worked out the details and such.  He didn't even realize he had called the wrong place.  (Happens with some regularity.)   Got back down to the house and we all set down to a lovely Thanksgiving Dinner with all the trimmings.  Hardly got done and set down to watch the rest of The Alamo when the phone rang.  It was the guy that was there just after breakfast.  He had his logs loaded and wanted to bring them right now.  Ok. Fine.  Went out to meet him and got his trailer spitted and unhooked.  He and the two other guys were avid hunters so we had to talk about deer season.  Then they hadn't seen our mill we got last January so we looked that over.  We were standing there talking when one guy says "Look there – an eagle!"  Sure enough a big bald eagle flew directly over us not 100 feet above.  Sure wish I had my camera.

Guess I'm thankful I had a good breakfast,  business, Thanksgiving Dinner with all my immediate family AND got to see a bald eagle up close.

Good picture of that seagull....errr ...Eagle. When I was working out of Petersburg, AK the first time, I had never seen Eagles sitting on street lights, right down town in fact.  I was fishing at Eagles Roost park on the edge of town, if you wanted to keep any fish you had to hide them under a rock or the audience roosting in the trees would swoop down and grab your dinner.  They aren't a bit shy if you have fish, I've even had them do this while fishing in Oregon.

By the way Barbequed the bird yesterday...mmmmm good.

We see quite a few of them here in Missouri along the river bluffs in the fall and winter.  Kind of have a group of people that tour up and down the river drives looking for them.  This was the first time I'd seen a mature one fly right over us.  With the clear blue sky behind it, it was something special.

Ther are a couple of spots neer hear that a guy can see 8 or 10 at once neer all the time.   Down neer Skagway this time of year thay are so thick in spots thay brake huge branches from the trees, just thousands of them!

They are fairly common along the creeks here.  I've seen 5 or 6 at a time.  I still stop and watch every time I see one.

Eagle watching is fun over on the Mississippi River. Bunch of Bald Headed eagles and a few Golden eagles. Wabasha, Minnesota (Home of the movie Grumpy Old Men) has an "Eagle Watch" pier where they've installed spotting scopes for people. It makes for a nice afternoon. After watching eagles, we then drive over the bridge to the little town of Nelson, Wisconsin to buy some cheese at the Nelson Cheese Factory and get one of their ice cream cones. They sell the best creamiest ice cream!8)
