Cool pic, Jack.
Always nice to get to talk with you, Dan.

I hope you had a great visit with your son and family.

Good looking Cosimo you’ve won there, GT. Glad to see you’re putting it to work. As for a name, how about just, “The Shadow”?
Cute pup you’ve got there, Will. Nice pics of your Flat Cap Lamb, as well.
One of my favorite indulgences around Christmas time is the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cake. They’re pure processed junk food that should only be enjoyed in moderation, but I love them nonetheless.

I’ve noticed in recent years that they’ve started showing up in stores so early that the expiration dates can be a couple weeks
before Christmas.
That’s what we did when we visited, Jack. I think we were even able to get the SIM cards mailed to us here before we left, so we had them as soon as we landed. It worked out great, they were prepaid with enough data so we could use our phones like normal while we were there, and the cost was very reasonable.
That’s a beautiful old Lambsfoot, Charlie.
Tasty looking pair of pikelets/crumpets there, Jack. I haven’t had one in quite a while. (The ones I can get here are ok, but not quite the same.)
Hope y’all all had a nice weekend. I failed to report in with my last trail walk, which was Thursday, I think. I checked off another couple miles (8 through 10) on the trail.
This section of the trail heads west out of Mound, and from this point on the surrounding area becomes more rural. I walked past a couple smaller lakes, although for the most part the view from the trail is obstructed by vegetation.
I spotted these guys along the way. I’m no bird expert, but I believe they’re ospreys.
I had my stag Hartshead Barlow with me on my walk, and kept it in my pocket throughout the weekend.
