4th of July - Camping, Deer Babies, Wake Boarding

We have had a new resident. Actually there several new residents. A deer decided to have her kids in the back yard. They are here often. I can see them from my Zoom Room, so I apologize if I seem a little distracted sometimes when I am on a video call. We went canoeing and camping in South Carolina.

When I rode my motorcycle through the area in the early 80's, I vowed I would come back. And I have come back-- again. I ate my traditional moon pie there as well. The Tesla is a great camper.

I bought a new jeep to replace the old jeep. It is a 1998 Grand Cherokee with only 160k Miles. The 1987 model I have has just short of 300k miles. Some of the parts will be compatible. I still have to figure out the future of parts the 87. Otherwise, it will be going to scrap $$. I put the new jeep on the trailer and towed it back from Rochester. My light duty truck did ok. I will be moving the ag tires to the new jeep this week. Deer season opens this weekend. Greg and Dennis are coming down. They are all excited.
