Anyone up for some deer jacking?

So I'll get to the deer jacking in a minute. (minds out of the gutter everyone) So Friday we went to the Sea Dog brewery for drinks and dinner with a friend from work, her fiance and 2 of their friends. We had a great great time, good food, good beer, and everyone was really cool (first time meeting 3 out of the four).
Saturday was a very productive and fun day. Sarah and I spent a lot of the morning/afternoon doing more yard work. The first picture is what the yard/overgrowth looked like before, followed by after, followed by our new compost pile. Good times..



That night, my Uncle Timmy and Aunt Erin came up. (my dad's brother and sister). Now you have to understand, where ever my Uncle Timmy goes, hijinks's are sure to follow. Typing the stories out really don't do them justice. So we had a fantastic dinner of the best lobster you'll ever eat (caught Friday) with muscles for an appetiser (dug up earlier that day) Soooo good. Followed by the usual evening activities of sitting around on my uncle's front porch, having the occasional adult beverage, telling stories and laughing hysterically. (apparently we were laughing/talking so loud that my uncles neighbor, which is a good 400 yards away, could hear us) So at some point in the night, we kept seeing these flashes of light over at the tree line. My Uncle Barney's guess of aliens thankfully proved to be wrong. It was people in the woods "deer jacking". Now let me explain deer jacking. Its an illegal way of hunting deer. You drive into the woods at night, when you see the deer you turn on your headlights/flash a strong light at them. The deer then freeze, and you shoot them. Basically it takes the entire sport out of hunting. Thankfully, the people out there weren't shooting the deer, they were just flashing the lights so the deer would freeze and the kids could see them.
So someone gets the bright idea to all pile in the gator (http://www.deere.com/en_US/ProductCatalog/GT/servlet/com.deere.u90785.cce.productcatalog.view.servlets.ProdCatProduct?pNbr=1970W&tM=GT) and head over to find out whats going on. It started out just me and David, with David driving (he's 11 going on 30) and Breezy and Sarah in the back. More people wanted to come, so we hitched up the trailer, which had hay in it (and is used to transfer heavy items, like hay, food, ummm fresh fertilizer and what not around the barn. We didn't tell Timmy and Erin that) and Uncle Tim, Aunt Erin and Aunt Sheila hopped in.
So David took us over to the neighbors house where they had a HUGE bonfire going. We stopped, said hi, said we were going to go look for deer. Four more people hopped in the gator, and we proceeded to head to the clearing in the woods to go look for deer. Well long story short, it was one of the funniest trips ever (you really had to be there) and we only saw one deer, maybe 200 yards away.
Sunday, I finally got the dishwasher installed, after many trips to home depot for the right connector pieces etc. So we now have a fully functional kitchen! Erin and Timmy came by and looked at the house, and like everyone else who sees it for the first time, were amazed. Everyone thinks we bought a little fixer-upper. That's only partly true. We bought a big fixer-upper haha.
So far so great though. Maine has been wonderful to us, and we're really loving it. Then again, its only been 3 weeks in the summer, we'll see if our opinion changes this winter.
