Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

After shutting down the camper this morning, I started the not so long journey up to Traverse City.  I stopped to fish awhile on the Ausable...and then on the Manistee, driving 15 miles or so on a logging road in my rented Fusion (it did great!)...and then on the Boardman when it was still a small river, and again where it joins Boardman Lake.

Fishing was great, catching not so much so.  I don't know any of these rivers well and was fishing from public access (canoe landing) sites, and there was a lot of canoe and kayak and tubing traffic on the rivers.  The Boardman River at Boardman Lake is nasty...public park full of geese and ducks, lots of algae.  The other locations were clear, cold water.  I saw plenty of brook trout in the Ausable.

There's a creek right next to the hotel here.  I'm tempted to go see what's in it.

Ok todays story . Every cloud has a silver lining . Apparently that includes rats .  I have picked up two new egg customers . It's because of the rats . The way this came about is I was at autozone one day and this little Jack Russell  Terrier was smelling my boots and I was talking to the dog asking it if it smelled the rats I had stomped . The dogs owner asked where I had been to be stomping rats .  I told him about all my chickens and how his dog 's breed was known for being a good rat and mouse dog . He now buys four dozen eggs every other week and today got me another customer who bought four dozen eggs . Who would guess stomping rats would lead to egg sales .

I'm thinking I wouldn't mind being led to a winning lottery  ticket . Until then selling eggs is good . And I've made a new friend . They trust me  leave the door unlocked and the money and empty cartons on the desk . I leave the eggs and take the money and Ben likes the ride to town and the stop at KFC .  I just might end up showing a profit a year sooner than expected

Love you too, K... wish you were closer and could bring your rat cannon with ya...

Stupid b****y neighbor that complained about the ducks stepping foot across the property line just threw a ginormous fit over our short temp fence we put up 2 or 3 feet on our side... screamed and yelled that we can't do that because SHE doesn't want it there... then accused our birds of infesting her adult son with poultry mites/lice...
