"Rats-1, Peter-0"



Obviously brother Bill was right!

I set up Roo's automatic bird camera which took almost 400 pictures between 6 pm and 6 am.  Of those 400 pictures there was not even one shot with multiple rats, which makes one wonder?  Is there only one?  Not very likely I think, unless I did indeed manage to kill the majority of them with the diesel fumes.  You can see that the pics are time stamped and if you watch the comings and goings in order it appears that there must be at least 3 or 4.  I can't set the camera up immediately at the chickens feed source or else I would get a bunch of chicken pictures, and probably a bunch of chicken shit on the camera.

Instead, tonite, I made food and water available right where the camera is pointed.  I'm hoping to get some sense of how many there are, and if indeed I learn something then I will set up traps the following night and start killing the wee darlings!!

Man this is fun!!

Training continues to go reasonably well.  Both the intensity and duration of my workouts is less than my previous preparations at this point of the preparations but I think that's actually a good thing.  I am trying to train a little smarter this time and I truly believe it will work out.  Besides I'm enjoying the current workload and that's probably the most important thing anyway.

Love
Peter
