Honey coming soon!

I just got a UPS shipping notification that I have a package coming from Eagan, MN. Well, the only thing I order out of MN is bee equipment and more specifically my honey extractor. I ordered the extracting bundle back in early March only to find out that the actual extractor was on back order. I feared that I wouldn't have it in time to extract the spring honey, but after today's notification, I am getting excited. I will likely do my honey extraction the in two weeks (after I get back from London). By then all of the tulip poplar will be finished blooming and the bees will slow down in their nectar collection.

Professional horseshoe pitchers

In my old job I used to manage the local horseshoe events. Well, wouldn't you know it - after I left they up and got themselves a professional horseshoe event. I had a visit this past weekend and captured some photos. The winner took home 600 bucks. I do have to say - these guys and gals are good. The winning woman had an 85% ringer percentage. Throw a hundred shoes, ringer 85 of them. Let me see you try that!
