We made it back from St. Louis safely on Monday. And there has been nothing much of interest to report. But this morning, we had four 8-point bucks in the yard in the velvet phase. Most people reading this probably already know what that means, but I did not. I asked AI. For other unenlightened ones like myself, the velvet phase means the antlers are still growing and have a fuzzy, velvety-looking covering. That covering is packed with blood vessels and nerves that rush essential minerals and protein to build hard bone. The soft hair acts like a sensory radar to help the buck avoid hitting trees and hurting his sensitive growing rack. Once the rapid growth phase ends, the antlers start to calcify, transforming them from softer cartilage to hard bone. I took a few average-looking photos. I hope they come again tomorrow morning, and I will be ready and may be able to get better photos.
When Dane was looking to restart his business in TN, we were working on a name. JADA stands for Jennifer and Dane Alexander. Symbolically, the name is associated with purity, wisdom, tranquility, serenity, good luck, and prosperity. All good things we aspire for in life and business. So we named the business JADA Services. Tires are the core of our business, but we named it "Services" to leave room to broaden our scope. This site is for our business, as well as our personal blogs. Please have patience as we know nothing about creating a website!
