🎶 Havin' a heat wave.... a tropical heat wave..... 🎶

Yep, with the high heat last week until today I mostly just got some projects taken care of. I had to align my headlights and replace my seat covers in the car. I put a onboard a noco genius battery maintainer on the truck that mounts under the hood to try and extend the life of my battery.... (I've been through 2 already.) And then for the big project that didn't turn out to be a big project, I replaced the taillights on my decoy trailer. 

The reason I said the "big project" is I didn't know how to change out the taillights so I watched a YouTube and he went in from the back of the light. Which meant taking out 7 screws that didn't want to come out. Then bending back the aluminum to expose the back of the light and pulling it and putting the new one in.... 

I put this project off for 2 years. My neighbor Bill came over to see what I was up to and told me all I have to do is pull the old seal and the old light will come out. Damn if that didn't work, we had both of them changed out in around 10 minutes. 

So now that I had that "big project" done I went for a ride with my buddy while he was discing a field. It was pretty fun but after and hour my ass got pretty sore from the little jump seat in the tractor. Anyway he invited my out this morning to sit in his blind with him. He was itching to put his new doe decoy to use and see what he could call in. We only had a fawn and a buck respond but he hung out for at least 15 minutes.

 If he would've been a year or 2 older he would've been given a ride in the back of my truck...

With wind hitting the low 30mph and rain moving in we only stayed until 9:30ish which was fine with me.

We really only went out to use the decoy and because it is Halloween, which has usually been the start of the rut around here.

So with that being said I will probably be deer hunting next week and on and off until gun season when I'll hit it hard again.
