It looks super! But it always looks super. Your place on a bad day looks better than mine on it's best day. Remember, nobody is coming to do a property inspection. We just want a yard to sit in and enjoy each other's company and conversation, meet knew folks, and reunite with old friends.
 I had 2 family reunions at our place and each time I spent 2 years prepping the place and making improvements I thought were needed. In the end, it turned out all anybody wanted was a comfortable place to sit and talk and a safe place for the kids to play.
 We will have a great time even if your septic system is halfway through being dug up and replaced. ffcheesy ffcheesy

Well, yesterday was a body mandated day of rest, although I ended up feeling way better than I should have. Today other stuff awaIts. Might as well. I lost a hard to change brake line last weekend and I know my limitations. Truck has been at the shop in line since Monday morning, best guess, first of next week. My U.P. style has been seriously cramped!!

Could it be a fisher?

I'm hoping not, but betting Muskrat, but it could be anything suggested. I may need to become a trapper.

I've got just a snippet of video of it I can try and post.

Mink, looking to snatch a fish from the pond. Hard to tell the scale, but wouldn't be surprised. They were always snatching a brook trout from my pond. Was fishing one time in the deep woods on a lake, one practically tried to get at my trout on my creel. Did some snarling.
