Thursday, October 1-October 7, 2020 www.shelbyinfo.com 704/484-1047 - shelby shopper & info - Page 11 I've learned over the years to keep a watchful eye when I travel to a tree stand in an unfamiliar place. I espe- cially do this when I'm hunting in an- other state. I've been lost a few times. When I'm walking in, I always try to turn around and look back to see what the view looks like going in the opposite direction. I mark certain topographical differences such as a fallen tree or one that has a certain shape or characteristic. I also take with me some marking ribbon just in case I have to wander through the woods in search for an animal I may have shot. I will mark my path back to my tree stand. Again, I've just hunted long enough to understand no matter how experienced I may think I am, I can and will get turned around in a strange place. One of the simplest inventions that came along a few years ago was refl ective tacks. They are pushed into a tree and when passed over with a fl ashlight, will make a path look like an airport runway. I've hunted in some places where these tacks were put on both sides of the path every few feet all the way to the foot of the tree where I was to hunt. Because someone marked my path there was no way I was getting lost. When I think about the most important things in my life, I am equally thankful some folks marked a clear path to keep me from getting lost. And even though I chose to stray from that path many times it was not because the path was not marked suffi ciently. Wisdom is knowing when to blaze your own trail and when to understand the trail others have blazed is the only way to go. It is also making sure you have marked the correct trail for those who will come after you. There are some areas in life those who follow us must fi nd for themselves; things like their purpose or what their pas- sions are. There is no shortcut for these pursuits. In other areas we can save them a lot of heartaches if we will clearly mark the path and warn them concerning leaving its nar- row way. Even though I had some great guides in my life I also know if others had also accepted their responsibility for pointing me the right way, I could have learned a lot of important lessons earlier than I did. Don't ever be afraid to mark the path when you are sure where it leads. It will help an untold number of individuals. I'd love to speak at your next outdoor event.

Homeowners often take steps to winterize the interior of their homes in the weeks before win- ter's arrival, but such efforts should extend to the outside of a home as well. Decks make for great gathering places when the weather permits. Decks are where many people spend their free time and eat their meals come spring and summer, when the temperatures climb and the sun sets well into the evening. But as summer turns to fall, homeowners must take mea- sures to protect their decks from potentially harsh winter weather. • Inspect the deck for problems. Decks tend to be used more often in summer than any other time of year. That makes fall and early winter an ideal time to inspect for wear and tear and any additional issues that may have cropped up throughout the summer. Dam- aged boards and loose handrails should be fi xed before winter ar- rives, especially for homeown- ers who plan to use their decks in winter. Fixing such issues in winter and even into spring may be diffi cult thanks to harsh condi- tions, so make good use of the relatively calm autumn weather to fi x any issues on the deck. • Clear the deck of potted plants. Even homeowners who intend to use their decks in winter should remove potted plants from the deck in the fall. The home im- provement experts at HGTV note that moisture can get trapped be- tween deck boards and plastic, wood or ceramic containers in cold weather, and that can con- tribute to mildew, discoloration or decay. • Store unnecessary furniture. Homeowners who like to sit on their decks in winter will no doubt want to leave some furniture out over the winter. But those with lots of furniture for entertaining guests can likely move the major- ity of that furniture into a garage or shed for the winter. HGTV notes that doing so will prevent the potential formation of blem- ishes on the deck that can result from inconsistent weathering. • Remove snow, but do so care- fully. Prolonged contact with snow and ice can damage a deck. As a result, homeowners should clear snow from their decks when ac- cumulation is signifi cant. HGTV recommends using a snow blow- er on the deck to avoid scarring. If a shovel must be used, push snow with the planks to reduce the risk of damaging the deck. Homeowners who take steps to protect their decks throughout the winter months can ensure these popular areas are ready once en- tertaining season returns in the spring. Prepare your deck for winter
