My Actifit Report Card: September 3 2021
Happy Friday everybody!😎
I’m so glad it’s Friday. No more insurance stuff for 4 whole days!! Yippee! I’ll let your imagination run with that as to how my work day went! Not all bad; just some frustration lol 😂
After work, it was off to the bank, the library, the grocery and the post office. Mission accomplished, I headed for home. I was coming up South Pass when I noticed a furry brown thing on my lane’s side of the road!😳 Literally less than a foot from 40+ mph traffic stood a young deer. She was not a baby but definitely just over a year or so. I stopped my car. You see, deer can be unpredictable and the last thing I wanted was to hurt her or my car. Oncoming traffic appeared to be unaware until finally a car stopped. I took that opportunity to honk my horn but she didn’t move. They went on and I decided to slowly inch my way. She did exactly what I figured she’d do and slowly stepped out in front of me. She made it across the road onto another piece of property. I hope she kept going!! Whew! No pics unfortunately.
Once home, I made a coffee and started mentally troubleshooting our ant miners inability to connect to the mining pool. We’ve got an interesting set up here and rather than bore you with the details, I believe the router we have been using is just plain tired! So, I’ve ordered another and it should arrive Sunday (thanks Amazon!) and then we’ll see.
I like the way the leaf on the right is in focus yet nothing else including the leaf on the left, which was about the same distance away from the camera, isn’t.
Tomorrow hopefully will allow us to get a hike in before the rains begin! Then, if it doesn’t rain, @actifit-lamb may get a pumpkin patch opportunity. She’s hoping!🐑
That’s it for today. Take care!👣🐑☕️🍁🍂🌻🤗😴

Your first photo must be a Japanese Maple - if not it looks a lot like mine! Glad the deer didn't get hurt. Back in the summer of 2009 in TN on the interstate between Memphis and Nashville (2 lanes each way) a deer decided to run across the road and unfortunately, we hit it in our big conversion! It just appeared in our lane out of the blue; hidden by an 18 wheeler. It was dusk and the speed limit was at least 60. I don't think the deer made it. We pulled off the road at the next exit and there was a lot of damage done to the headlight and right side of the front of the vehicle. It was very scary. I had been driving just 15 minutes before that. My husband had just switched and was driving at the time. I'm glad because I think I might have swerved the van and we might have hit another car... Also my mom and our 2 teenagers were all in our van! Anyway, that is my deer story. My daughter,15 at the time, was very upset about the deer. I told her it could have hit our windshield and come right thru it - I've heard stories about that!
Oh my! I'm glad you guys were okay! I understand being upset about the deer too. I'm that way as well.
Several years ago, I had a deer dart out from the other lane at night and the headlights from the oncoming car blinded me to him (big boy 10 point buck). I saw him look at me through the corner of the windshield just before contact, and you could almost see the 'oh sh__!' look on his face! I was going about 45-50 an he slid along the front after hitting the headlight and body slammed my driver's door, busting out the window and pushing the roof support into my seat, and then skimmed on down to fall behind me. I of course stopped and was a mess; had glass in my mouth; and a dead battery on my cell phone to boot. A guy following some cars behind, was the only one to stop and offer help. The life squad showed up and got the glass stuff taken care of. In the meantime, the gentleman who stopped allowed me to use his cell to call my husband. Also, the deer had been knocked apparently unconscious, as he got up and walked away. I don't know how badly he was hurt; I hoped he had survived whatever his injuries were. My husband arrived via my son driving him, and lol, he forgot his glasses, so I had to drive (it was November and cold) while he held the driver's door closed as it wouldn't latch, and I turned the heat on full blast as we were experiencing a bit of natural air conditioning which was not needed! They totaled the car, but I bought the salvage and had it repaired. Since that night, in the fall especially, I really want to drive in the center of the road in the dark, so I might miss the deer regardless of what side they come from!
Take care and thanks for sharing your deer story!
Wow, how scary for you! My goodness, you were so lucky not to be injured very badly! I don't blame you for driving differently now at night!
You should have seen the knee jerk reaction I had after that whenever I'd drive at night! I was afraid I'd end up seeing 'something' that really wasn't there and end up hurting me or someone else. I'm much, much more calm now, lol, but still diligently watch! Take care and have a good week!
I love it when you and @silvertop tell two versions of the same story! How great that you have a brand new router on the way. Woot!
And I'm so glad you didn't hit the young deer. They are so unpredictable, it's just ridiculous. They didn't make up the expression "deer in the headlights" for no reason, right?
You aren't kidding! Deer, squirrels, rabbits are all so unpredictable! I'm they type that almost would put myself in danger to miss hitting the animal! Thanks for stopping by @jayna! Take care!

Amazon is really on top of things. I mostly get deliveries the next day!
The convenience of online shopping!
Indeed, plus honestly, they have some really hard to find parts for things like washers, Dodge Dakotas and other stuff!
Ummm... I've never really ordered those stuff...
Good to know!
We kind of look for the most efficient and economical way to fix something; it's rare that we call a repairman. Mike is handy that way whether he likes it or not!😁
I think I can repair minor stuff, but nothing has broken yet.
I'm sure something here is gonna break down, it's a matter of time!😆😜
Eventually, something does, but not to worry! You could ask Mike if he makes house calls, lol! Take care sweet sis!😜🤗💕🌸😘
Hugs and Kisses sis 🥰🌺🤙!!!!
