Smart move on getting project supplies now, if questioned about towing the boat I would claim you are fishing for food. People have to travel to the grocery store, you are travelling to the river instead.

Good luck with the stripers  Rich, hope the influx is just folks riding and getting outa the cities for a bit- not nefarious.
Lockdown is a good idea- also some more serious hardware at hand- sad to say.

Husband and I spent Friday replacing manifolds and risers on the boat, yesterday it was felling some dead cherry trees on our barn property and at my Mom's.  Not hard to be 'social distant' when doing the dirty jobs, lol.  Good news is that the inboard is a giant step closer to ready for a season of chasing walleye and we cut up about a cord of good cherry yesterday to start on next year's supply. 
We also walked the property to lay out some plans for BlackBerry, elderberry and blueberry locations along with paw paw, Apple trees and bee box plans. Most of our intended fruit supplies are available through the old catalog nurseries, bees will probably wait till next year, since we are considering them on a walkway on the sunny side of the barn and the barn rehab is in progress but won't be re-sided for a couple months yet.

LOL, best keeper of the day!

BeenThereDoneThat.
Careful of "spot burning".

Getting there.

Started some seeds today, fixed a little fence. The bull that died in the fall is nothing but backbone , ribs and skull stripped clean. Also took a 4 hour nap and watched some tv. Got my 10 chickens 2 weeks ago meat birds come in 5/1

Tomatoes, . 4 weeks , 2 weeks and 1 week not sprouted. My goal is 30 day pause to hit soil.
I can cover/ protect if frosty times.
Gotta keep moving forward.

Without 4×4 would not of got this done

Nice Clint. So jealous of a real farm, and equipment.
Just putsing around here. Can't take having the pigs wallow in their feed and water area so I built this platform yesterday. They come on Friday.
Garlic is fantastic, got some lettuce and spinach in cold frames and took a ride in the boat on the mighty muddy Saturday. Stripers and herring are around
This also popped into my head, same spot as my Saturday scouting.

Mission accomplished.
Boat is in water and our livestock on site.
Chickens coming Monday.
We know what's real and what's not here
Be safe, provide for the family, friends and neighbors

Looking good, my pug is getting big. Most of my chicks to the pullet stage, I may have a cockerel too. Meat birds cone in 5/1 so these should be outside by then. Dad , bro and I both have completed most spring cow work (staying 10 feet apart) . Fence is up, manure is spread calves are doing well. Possibly let them out next week. Started garden prep, putting up chicken fence and cleaning up. Will plow and till some soon. Tractor was running rough so a tune up is in order. Clean carb and clean and re gap plugs and points. Lots of work a nd good times. That's real enough for me .

Agreed on the horrible plight of the small holding dairy farmers... small (family) farms in general are taking a horrible beating in recent years and it sure seems an awful lot of the farm aid out there is benefiting the corporate farms rather than the little guys.  A great Mennonite family in my area had to give up their dairy herd last year because of it. Seems to be the government way lately, loop holes for the corporate giants and nooses for the 'small business' types. ... sorry, dont want to bring political frustrations into this thread, so I will stop with that. 
Fichy,  hope your farming friends are able to adapt for some type of short term fix until the demand turns around to their benefit again. 

WTF, that's not right. Sorry to hear. One thing that I despise are thieves. Cut their hand off with a dull axe.
It kinda sounds like someone who knew what and where to look.
As for cameras, I set up 2 live security cameras and 2 sd card trail cams a few weeks ago just because I seen so much activity from people who are not normally neighbors. No issues so far.
It depends on your capability as to the best recommendations. If you have WIFI, a live security camera is the way to go. For the cost of them VS a trail camera ( which needs batteries and SD card ) they come out to about the same price.
My security cameras are BLINK security cameras . A $150 for a set of 2 I get instant live video and notification on my phone anytime they go off. The picture quality is excellent with audio. They are very stealthy and I have 1 in front and 1 in back corners of my eve's.

For trail cameras, any one from Wally world or the like stores work all about the same and can be bought for about $50.00 each, not including sd cards and batteries.
Usually they are easy to spot from a perpetrator, especially if you have reason for night flash. Generally if they are spotted, they get stolen.
Honestly, I'd call the police first to report the burglary. That may alone detour the scumbag.

Good luck and keep safe.
Here are live views from security cameras. They also zoom in and I can make them full screens too.

That really sucks, kinda why the gun shops are doing such a big business.
If this ever got outa hand there would be more of that going on.

Night vision googles and a rock salt gun works too. A trip wire rigged to an audio of a shotgun round being racked into battery will definitely get someones attention.  Read up on NYS PL Article 35.00-35.30 Defense of Justification.
