    deer at the craftroom door Trail Cam Friday from Sandpoint, Idaho

    I love Trail Cam Fridays. Going through 2000 pictures and videos is a little daunting. But watching these animals is fun. I have to wonder what the deer are thinking when they look in the craftroom door? Are they reincarnated crafters curious about what I am making? Or are they just nosy? Are they looking for other deer? Are they wishing they could be inside, sleeping away on Miss Bear’s bed? Look at my NEMISIS The Squirrel trying to the Heapets bird feeder! Grrrrrrrrrr On To The Heapet Bird Feeder Videos Ohhhh yes, we must start with my nemesis Mr. Squirrel. This little )#(&$)(^T couldn’t get up the pole because…

  • Diary of a Snow Shoveler

    I thought my friends back east would appreciate this! Oh and I’m way too lazy to go in and update the dates to make it for the coming week. Diary of a Snow Shoveler December 8: 6:00 PM   It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses Print. So romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow! December 9:  We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic…

  • Trail Cam Friday January 23, 2026

    Well, SOMEONE (Let’s not point fingers here!) hit reset instead of FORMAT on the trail cam last week, so the date is wrong on a few of these video/pictures. Good thing I checked the camera earlier in the week. My Turkey’s ARE BACK!! These Guys Are Like Midnight Craft Room Auditors. There is no sneaking down to the craftroom without that feeling …………. you know…. the one that says; I wasn’t alone. Deer. Multiple. I’m beginning to think these guys think they are woodland HOA representatives conducting a surprise inspection. What were they looking for? Snacks? Possible. I do keep emergency chocolate nearby, and deer seem like the type to…

    slots Online casino

    Let’s get this out of the way first: liking games or betting on Playamo doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you. Many intelligent and curious individuals are drawn to it. Strategy, numbers, emotions, competition — it all makes sense. The issue isn’t the hobby. The issue is when it slowly takes over everything else. So yeah, let’s talk about how to keep your life together without killing the things you enjoy. First Rule: It’s a Hobby, Not Your Whole Personality You can care about it. You can take it seriously. You can follow every match and overthink every decision. Totally fine.But here’s the line: if gaming or betting replaces sleep, food,…
