What’s Up with No Critter Cam Pictures Last Night?
Things did not go according to plan last night with the critter cam. It took zero pictures. What gives? I’m sure I had the timer settings right. It’s a 24-hr. military time clock and it was set for 1930 to 0730 starting yesterday evening. The grate was undisturbed and maybe that’s the explanation. Could there…

The Screaming Barn of Iowa City!
The other day we went out for a walk on Scott Boulevard. There is an old barn right across the street from the Harvest Preserve entrance. It’s picturesque but on that day, it was festooned with Halloween decorations including goblins and ghouls and the ground was covered with gravestones inscribed with comical epitaphs. We’ve been…

The Friday Night Big Mo Blues Show

Three Rock Fail on the Drain Tile Grate!
We can’t believe the 3-rock weight option to help secure the drain tile grate failed last night already. This morning, the top rock ended up about two feet away down the slope of our yard. The other two rocks were tipped over into the landscaping rod. What’s crazy about this is how the top rock…

Tile Drain Grate Off Again!
Last night something removed our tile drain grate again! This time it wasn’t flipped. Something lifted the grate off the pipe and set it on the ground beside it. We were flabbergasted. Recall that I thought I had secured the thing with a worm gear adjustable clamp on October 1, 2022. Up until that time,…
