Crazy week. I don't know where time goes. We had awesome ice fishing weekend and some party. Great weather and good fishing. All good.
This week our only plan was get reindeer back to the wild. And first aid training. First aid training took two crucial days and it ment that preparation has to be done in the evening and night time.
All the gps devices had to be checked and batteries changed, new sim cards, activing sim cards.... etc. So Tuesday evening I did that, at 1 am Wednesday time to go bed.
Wednesday evening and night, changing batteries for another kind gps devices and checks that those are okay. And again 1 am Thursday ready to bed.
Thursday it was time to handle our herd. Mark last babies from last summer, put gps and other devices to reindeer. Decide, where we will drive them with vans. We were lucky that some other herders came to help, so it was easier. Still it was suprise, suprise 1 am Friday when I was in bed again.
This morning early wake up, feed some reindeer who are still at home and then go to help friend. We opened some hay bales that reindeers will have some extra food still, circumstances are going that tractors are out of the game few weeks. And about half of our reindeer are also in my friend's fence after yesterday, gates are open allready there.
And of course I forgot meeting which was 10 am so that's why FP is little bit late. So this was short update from North. Fishing season is close that I can smell it, 34 days to go.
Have a nice weekend and go fishing
