First off I forgot to take the camera with me so there won't be very many pictures. I did take a couple with my phone and some of fish when I got home. There were also 237 pictures on the game camera. Most of this post will have to do with stories.
The purpose of this trip was to meet with the Weakley County Electrical Company, they are the people that handle all of you electrical needs, getting power to the property, setting poles, transformers and such. We are wanting to build a small building that we can live in about half of the year until we are ready to build our house. To do this we have to move the electrical power that is already on the farm, further back onto the farm.
I found out in order for the power company to install this we are going to have to build a gravel road back to the house site before they will do it. So I met with them we laid out a route back to the house site, some 1650'. Now I will have to set up a meeting with the backhoe gentlemen that I have been using to see what the road will cost.
I also talked with a water well drilling company to see what it will cost and
what we will have to do to drill a well. We also contacted Morton buildings to see what a building will cost. This is all new to me so it should be interesting.
The man that use to have cattle on the farm had asked if he could bale the pasture areas as it had grown up pretty good. In an earlier post I stated that the grass had gotten up over my knees. Well they had cut it and while I was there they were raking it. I talked to the men doing the raking and he told me that he could not believe how many quail he had seen so far. He stated that he had seen three separate coveys. Apparently letting the grass get taller had allowed them to spread out. Hopefully it will help them nesting and multiplying. We left a lot of the grassy areas unmowed.
When I went down to the game camera I scared turkeys out of the area. These are the first turkeys I have seen since last fall. There were also some pictures on the game camera of turkeys this time. 
I believe the tall grass has helped these guys also.
While there I also realized that I had a flat tire on the front of the golf cart, so once I found that out and realized that I would not be able to change it as I do not have any tools at the farm to do that, I was limited on what I was going to be able to do the rest of the day. One of the first thing for the next trip to the farm will be some tools for such thing as this. With limited mobility I decided that I would spend the rest of the time fishing in the pond by the barn. I ended up catching 11 crappie and 8 bass. I brought all the crappie home and cleaned them. Now the story of the bass, I have wondered what kind of shape the pond was in, health wise for the bass. I caught 3 bass that were not over six inches long, another 4 bass in the 1 to 2 pound range and one bass that was around 5 pounds. I would say that the pond is in good shape. I need to get all the crappie out that is the reason I keep them whenever I catch them.
