- Monday, 2/2: Warmer Temps & Fly Tying
- Most of the snow that's covered the ground for several days melted with warmer temperatures.
- Mary and I walked Cooper around the west field and down Bobcat Trail. Under a tall oak tree halfway down Bobcat Trail, we found bits from honey comb on the snow. Some animal found and tore apart a beehive.
- We cut back Cooper's food to three cups a day. His ribs aren't showing so much and we're probably more at a maintenance feeding amount, now.
- I sharpened one of the chains of the big Stihl chainsaw. I also greased the clutch bearing on that saw. We bought that saw in 2009. Steady maintenance keeps it going strong.
- I heard trumpeter swans and saw four cackling geese fly overhead while doing evening chores. Mary heard Canada geese to the north.
- I attended the eighth and final online fly tying class where we tied three flies. They were the zug bug, the case caddis, and the midge. The last fly was extremely small! TJ, one of the instructors, went through all of the flies we created through the eight classes, detailing how to fish each one. This series of classes was the best in all fly tying classes I've attended.
- Mary started an extremely rough sketch of a future house. I looked up charts for various size lumber to use as floor joists to gain strong floors.
