Afternoon Monkeys.

Heading to the pumpkin patch with the grandkids, then a party for the wife of a VFW buddy. She and my wife had kinda connected at the Valentine's gig we went to, so that's nice. It's also at the Elks, which I officially join on Wednesday, so there is that.

Be safe out there, the pumpkin patch will be a shit show for sure. At least it's not the little people patch.

Seriously. I’m learning Killers by Maiden. It’s 176 BPM. I’m at 77. I need something to help me speed things up.

Oh fucking Joy

Brute force got me to 100 BPM. A nice increase from 77 but a far cry from 176. The sixteenth note finger picking above 100 is going to require some technique tweaks.

That a euphemism?

No.

Nonetheless, we move forwards towards that goal.

Went to local bar and restaurant's closing night, drank too much, made it home safely, Heading to KT with T tomorrow, we'll see what may go down.

Lots to do around the house today and the going to watch the Gator Nationals (BMX) race tomorrow. My bike still just sits it appears.

@jstuhlman let me know how it goes today. I mean, who knows when I’ll ride again but was curious about that place.

rode ure 15 years ago. meh. got convinced to go ride it again. still meh. i guess if you're on that side of town it's ok, but for me i can drive 15-20 more minutes and be at wilsons, which is 1000x better.

I found the honey hole of Quail. A little grove of pines on the side of a grassy hill. Since the County built a dog park nearby. All the Coyotes are gone. Just a casual observation. Turkeys in the Knoll are healthy too. I love the fall.

Archery season, day 2. 90% scouting, 10% hunting. So far I've got a really large coyote, blue heron, the skull from a red tail hawk, and a bird. Nature is cool.

Wait did you kill them thangs?

Did you identify the birb? Looks like a least flycatcher to me, but I am prepared to be wrong: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Least_Flycatcher/overview

Oh no, I was out hunting deer. Just happened to stumble across the rest.

80% sure it was a yellow rumped warbler. I'm shit about birds too, though.
