Curious what a strutting ground looks like with over 100 cocks on it?

Here you go.

Total for the morning's route?

321 cocks.

Higher than any count on those leks last year. Highest count since 2000, in fact.

And then, of course, there is always the object of their affections...

In other news, the problem with the hubs that I was hoping was just a vacuum leak?

Was.

The failure of the transfer case to go into 4H?

Not so simple. The dealer still has the truck.

The silver lining is... get to sleep in tomorrow.

Unfortunately, it looks like it's gonna be a perfect morning.
