Wildfire threat at the cat ranch is now over. 4-5 inches of snow.

Tried to hunt but the -15 wind chills kept each adventure to around 20 minutes.

I don't know why there are two ponds here, but I got the impression it was intentional. ???

Before excavators became popular it was easier just to build a new pond than cut and clean out an old one.  Also didn't have to source new water while old one dried out before cleaning.

Also, also can never have enough water.

huh. learn something new every day

Cat count is now up to 3 as my dad picked up a random from the town vet earlier this week although I have not seen it yet. He left some canned cat food on the counter for me to give them some supplemental feeding.

To the contrary, Rick Moranis (or his kid?) accomplished this feat no fewer than 30 years ago.

Cat census is only 3ish but once we get a bumper crop of kittens this spring I will attempt this.

My parents are on a cruise so I went over to check the city cats and parrots today and my dad had left some hand written instructions for feeding them etc along with a section titled "IF BOAT SINKS" that had where all their bank accounts were etc along with "Yellow folder on computer table has all the farm tax/income info".

Of course I snooped around and came to the conclusion that farming is nothing more than a real estate/tax evasion scheme(as has been pointed out here many times). Just try and break even every year while the price of the land goes up.

From a strictly financial position we would probably be better off selling the land, putting it all in a SP500 index fund and the dividends would kick off way more than the farm makes in a year.

My dad usually has a mobile hotspot out there that I am allowed to use "for work only" but I blast that crap by streaming football games and Netflix etc.

When I was out there last weekend the mobile hotspot my dad usually has out there was gone so I had to use all my phone data, apparently it stopped working so I picked up the new one today along with some instructions.

yeah, the price of land has become divorced from the productive value of the land.  it sucks.
