It's interesting to see how the nearing of the hunting seasons pushes us to complete the "other" tasks we have had before us and need to finish up before we devote ourselves to hunting. I, too, have been trying to finish house, yard, and farm chores when the weather cooperates. My wife kids me about my "incentive" to finish work, but with the dove season opener, all else goes to the back burner.
