Left home at 6:45 to go to Salem. About 15 miles. Since I wanted to buy apples before I started to hunt I did not put my boots on while still in the garage. I would just take them with me. At about the 8 mile mark I realized I did not pick up my boots. My Spaldings were never going to stand 2 hours in grass so wet you can poor water out of your loop cover about every 5 minutes. When I purchased the apples I told the clerk I needed another plastic sack." there are more at the end of the counter. Help yourself." When I got to my locartion, slipped my feet into the sacks and tied them at the back. Worked perfectly.found 1940 merc along with new pennies, a dime and quarter. The gray beast is Jasper.
