The wild turkeys were out in force with the puffed up males trying in vain to entice a female to have some “fun”.
The ritual consists of the male creeping around pretending to mind his own business, then sidling up behind his intended mate. The female has other ideas, all she wants is to peck at the ground, and with her peripheral vision she see old puffy coming up from the rear, and scoots off in the opposite direction.
Kelli went off thrifting with Cameron giving me some time on my own. I could indulge in lots of old git music, nice and loud, as well as making plenty of noise myself.
The one disaster today was my router decided to seize up mid way through a job. Fortunately I had a spare that I had bought off eBay a couple of years ago, so I just had the inconvenience of fitting the replacement to the table and resetting the cutter.
Having done that it, was back to making noise.
The guy across the street was doing something to his smoker that he has at the back of his driveway.
I didn’t see exactly what or why he did it, but I heard the bang. I went to see what was happening and saw the smoker engulfed in flames, a little way away I saw a petrol can, so I guess he wanted to give it a good clean.
I hope it was that and not he wanted his meat to smell like four star.
The benches were picked up today, after a last minute rush to touch up any parts that were missed.
