Luke worked hard all fall, driving the grain cart afterschool and on the weekends. He put in a lot of hours and would get to bed late. I worried about him overdoing and not getting enough sleep. Things are different with public school, he gets up around 6:30 Am. The fifth of November started trapping season and he has been getting up every morning at 5Am to go check traps before school. That same week, he worked every night washing the semis', tractor, grain cart and combine. Those are massive washes. The combine alone took 10 hours. Some nights I would call and argue with him about coming home and it would be close to 11Pm when he would get to the house, still need a shower and get to bed. He managed to continue with very little sleep.
On Monday the 14th we got a good blanket of white snow, the first of the season. On top of getting up early and checking traps, Luke would pull out his snowmobile and take it for a 15 minute spin before school. During trapping, his first morning he had a coon, a opossum, and shot a squirrel in the tree. A few days another coon.
Luke bought his snowmobile about a month ago. The plan was to sell his 4 wheeler and buy the snowmobile. He still has the 4 wheeler listed. Luke made quite a bit of money this fall and likes to spend some now and then. The snowmobile was a big spend and he was pretty excited about it awaiting snow. Looks like his season started early. Another thing for me to worry about, his high speed snowmobile.
