I still wake up on moose time, about 4:00 am, ish. Except now its tea time. Not quite proper Greenwich Mean Time but close enough. The cameras are still set and readied, they're like a second appendage at this point. Batteries charged and nowhere to go.
Can't wait to get back out there.

It is National Slime Day. They have no idea what you are supposed to do to celebrate that. Maybe clean out under the fridge.
