Pet Deer

"You want adventure. Every fiber of your being is screaming for it. Where do you find it? You find it in the voluntary adoption of responsibility." -- Jordan Peterson The deer in the neighborhood have become tame, quite tame. I think we are at the point where I can train them to eat from my hand. I dont feed them, but it is clear others in the neighborhood are feeding them. I am questioning whether it is right or wrong. It is not as simple as what you might initially think, running through loops of listening to the mezmoring voice David Attenborough anthropomorphising wildlife. Or what you learned as you slammed into a deer with your car. It's not that clear. The deer are not running out in front of cars in the neighborhood. They act more like the neighborhood geese, having full reign of the lawns, driveways and streets. We had a goose that demanded sovereignty of the garage. We called him "buddy".

I definitely have too many projects open. I am trying to focus on completing some so I can get back to the mundane ones of fixing tools and such. I made a rig to tow my canoe. The self-impossed rule is that I have to use stuff I already own, no trips to the store. It was good to get the MIG welder some use. Rev A worked fine. A few tweaks here are there and we will ride bikes (and canoe) over to the other neighborhood lake.

We are back from our trip up-north. The farm is good. We drove 2200 miles in 4.5 days. The trailer was loaded the whole time.
