5:27 Got up early again.  Had to get Odin to school.  His regular morning helper, Patience, Is on vacation this week.  He resisted getting up a lot, but we made it to his school in time. JUST!!! Now after a few hours I will go back and get him from the bus No. 8 at 3:25.  It is what I do this winter, and I love it. Brian is a good dad.  He had a whole suit of clean clothes for Odin to wear.  Of course Odin did not want to change out of the nice warm clothes he wore to bed.  I felt bad stripping him down in the kitchen.  I know he must have felt cold for a few minutes.
Well, I will say cul EV1 GBU and GB the Chiefs who had a bad day on the wrong day.

cal, I understand your worrying about not being there soon after surgery to feed all of your animals. They love and trust you and you take great care of them. Luckily if you do it will be only one night. Or ... maybe you will be able to go home same day like some others have.

johoward, Odin kept you busy this morning. When I initially read your post I thought you meant he was trying your patience today and would be this week. LOL
After re-reading I realized Patience is a person's name. Smh

Thanks, I see them.  Possum must be starving to come out in the cold.  Nice big possum too.  I don't know when they have babies.  Maybe soon like the bears.
Brian got off early so he got Odin from the bus.  I will get Odin to school tomorrow though.  Need a nap when I get up at 5 am and out the door by 6.  He needs to be at school just after 8 am.  So that's at least an hour and a half I have to kill after Brian leaves in the morning.  I will take something to read again.
Cul alligators.

10.47  With glasses on.  Still trying to get used to them, but it is not working very well.
34 degrees at 1:41, but not much wind and no snow so not bad.
I did get Odin to school this morning.  It was not without anxiety.  He was covered up on the couch with Duffey when I got there at 6:30 to let his Dad run off to work on time.  one hour later I started to talk him on getting up so he could have his breakfast, and brush his teeth.  I went back in the kitchen to wait and I heard a loud thump by the couch.  I thought Duffey jumped down and went to see if she wanted out. Like Abby had just done.  It was not Duffey.  It was Odin.  He was flat down on the floor and sleeping still.  He is a challenge for sure.  He brushed.  Then asked me why he had to brush his teeth since he did not eat anything, and so they were already clean.
We made it to school about the right time.  The car line moved right along after the bus was unloaded.  I will go back to get him off the bus in an hour.  He received a large gold medal for his wrestling, and wanted to wear it to school.  I had mixed feeling about a medal all day in school, but said if that is what he wanted to do, OK.  The lady that took him from my car was impressed with his medal.  I guess Odin was right, and they have no preschool dress code there.
Abbe and Duffey were very good this morning.  Abby went to bed and Duffey went to her kennel when Odin asked her too.  She would not get off the couch for me.
I loved seeing that little possum.  The deer were at first very afraid of him.
Well Hi EV1 and Bye EV1.  GBU

hi joho how come you have to go back in an hour to get odin off the bus and how come he has brush his teeth if he did not eat anything one of the dogs would not get off the couch for you? did you see todays dog shame? possum are really awesome they do lots of good too. i love my possums jim likes them alot now too he takes out big bowl of cookies when he goes out around seven or eight he sees the possums in the barn they get scared of him but he throws cookies up in the hay and they go eat them when they are in the barn during the day or this time i go back by indy and sometimes i look back possum right there i toss out cupcake moonpie cookies little kid hides in hay then sneaks out grabs cookies

I see why it looks like an hour between drop off and bus.  Not true.  It is a whole school day.  I dropped him off at 8AM, but came home and wrote the msg at 1:30 pm. I leave for the bus stop at 2:30 pm.  That is the hour I meant.  Sorry about that.
 I love those Possums too, but they are not smart.  My dog and I were fooling around with one one day and I found out that even when they are threatened and keep all their many teeth showing they don't know enough to bite when something is right in their mouth.  They just keep hissing, and don't bite down.  Then they fall over and play dead.  They are not good at that though.  If you roll them over they will roll back, and keep their eyes closed. LOL
I got Odin home tonight. We stopped at Lake Erie to see the ice along the shore.  Lots of ice.  We saw it from the bluff. Then he wanted to swing on the playground a while.  So we did that.  He loved it even though it was cold.
Now that I have cleared up the hour later mystery I will say, hi Paulie, and CUL EV1 GBU

Good morning from Ohio.  On Deer Pantry that agressive little forkhorn buck is having breakfast on the trough view.  Mom North is tucked in over her new egg. Snowman is lonely.  I wonder when we will see the porcupine again.  I miss them.  This is the only cam where I see them.  Now I gotta go get Odin to school.  Brian has to leave at 5:30 for work.  So I need to be there by that time. Brian does a lot in the morning.  I hope he can stick with it.  So far he has done well, and I am proud of him.
I am well.  It is 254 degrees and clear now. Snow later I guess.
Bye for now EV1 GBU
