Gray Owl, I'm a retired boiler/chiller operator myself. Worked a rotating shift for nearly 25 years

We only got one weekend a moth off. the only good thing is that we had days off during the week and I had the woods pretty much to myself.

Yip..... I'm reading your mail Pistoleer, know whatcha mean. What Class of Steam Engineer are you?

I work for the Government (University of Saskatchewan), you may only get one weekend off a month, but at least you probably made more money than me. Likely going on strike here in one month. Awful tempting to head up to the oil/tar sands in Alberta.

But your right, working 12 hour shifts, you sure have lots of time off.

Grey Owl, I worked for the University of Wisconsin. State Power Plant Operators are not licensed. I wish we had been they would have had to pay us more

. I started as a helper and worked up to shift supervisor.. The great thing was both the superintendents were bow hunters so we had a target right i the plant

If you hit a deer on the night before you were suppose to be to work if you called and explained that you had a tracking job, they would get someone to cover for you.

BTW - late reading the post, but we did have a really nice view of the full moon last night as it was rising through the cloud cover! Friday night I viewed it through the trees after the thunderstorm. Took my 5 year old camping after a hard week in kindergarten

We got rain after we had set up the tent & a tarp for a rainfly for a cooking shelter, so we went right ahead with the camping plans. Actually had a great night to sleep with the cool air, and were able to get up at daylight and check out the food plot. No deer or turkeys, but we got close enough to "Pepe" for a good look at him hunting grasshoppers and other bugs in the clover plot. I was able to impress on my son that there is no need for any special fear of the skunk, but a bit of caution is called for.

We watched him feeding at a distance of 8 or 10 yards for a few minutes, then a subtle "throat clearing" by me sent Pepe scurrying off.

I believe what you guys witnessed was the HARVEST MOON.

DW You are right on with the Full Moon. I sat out on my front porch and watched several does come up and eat the ripe persimons that are falling off of the tree in my front yard. The deer I saw when I was hunting on my hunting property came out just before dark. They are on the persimons and muscidines heavy. Have not had no rain in almost three weeks here and everything is dry. These fruits are high in water contient due to the early rains we had at the beginning of the summer. Acorns are starting to fall here slowly. Going to start hunting the middle of the day if I can stand this 90 degree weather. Good luck

Hmmmm, about that time I was in bed. I was on my company fishing trip and I had too many wobbly pops during the day, so I hit the hay early

Full moon = very low tide = easy clam digging.

Unfortunately I'm nowhere near the ocean at the moment.

Huh? Can you explain this to me? (not the clam part)

on a full moon the high tide is generally higher than average, the low tide is generally lower than average, and yep the current inbetween is stronger than average. the lower the tide the easier it is to dig clams.
