Bad day for sunbathing,, great weather for elephant hunting,,

It has been soggy and cold for the last week I swear. And both soggy AND cold can put a damper on just about everything. Bowling and beer drinkin survive tho! Mrs. Barn hurt her back last week, probably hauling dirty laundry from a rental. She took some time off from the lanes but came back last night for a good showing.
Speaking of dirty laundry, it has been a very good season for us, so far. She keeps excellent records and we have been right on par with last year which was our best season in the 10 we have been doing this!
Even with all the shit going on up north, our guests still find a way to take a vacation. I can’t say for sure, but I think the smaller places are holding up better than the fancy-pants places are. Fancy-schmancy’s are cutting rates, offering deals, discounts, coupons, and vouchers.
“Pay for 3, stay 5”,,, “free dinners in our world renown dinning facility”,,, “one day free elephant hunting trip for two in our exclusive, private game reserve.”
Maybe people just don’t want to spend that kind of money right now.
We did suffer our first cancelation from all this. A big one too. Both rentals for 11 nights! Ouch!!
But I don’t think that’s a trend,, yet.

Also this rain has put a damper on my own bat hunting. I did manage to squeeze off a couple rounds in-between squalls tho.



















MAKING LOVE (may-king luv) n.
Female..... The greatest expression of intimacy a couple can achieve
Male.. Call it whatever you want, just as long as we do it.
