I did quite enjoy yesterday's field day. It was a bit of a mess for everyone involved - my colleague's first day this year doing his particular stream sampling, waiting for the guy from the Nation (I suspect this will be a normal part of having him come along), everyone forgetting a measuring tape (luckily I carry 6 measuring devices, so I could loan a couple even though I forgot one), losing a measuring tape and tromping all over the block to try and find it (and it was a steep block), bleeding all over the place, all that jazz.
But the bugs are almost gone for the year, I found the measuring tape I lost (it was in one of my cruiser vest pockets, the only place the very large orange measuring device could have been camouflaged, in a pocket I never use but clearly visible) and while looking for the measuring tape I had a very nice couple km hike. It wasn't too hot, it isn't yet cold, someone else drove us to the block. Very nice.
And today my legs are sore and I'm just doing a small bit of fieldwork. The barley and oats may be in from the field which would mean that my feed costs will be down; this is the fattening period for the animals, when everyone (especially the waterfowl) start eating twice as much to prepare for winter.
