Ayuyu -- Coconut Crab.


Check out Guahan's largest spider!

No, that's an Ayuyu...also known as a Coconut Crab. My mom and step-dad caught this really nice ayuyu in the barn shack this morning. Since they can't eat it. I claimed it for mine. LOL... We, mainly me, will raise it up until it's bigger. I have a nice strong bird cage to put this crab in tomorrow. It's in my kennel at the moment. Which is not strong enough to hold it. Need to make a very strong cage. These crabs are smart, strong, and know how to get out of weak cages.

Since one was caught in the barn shack. I'm going to have to put out coconut traps in the next couple of days to draw out more ayuyu. They are one of many Chamorro Delicacies.

Mowed Trailways.

Been bush cutting the grass on the ranch, since morning. It was a cool day, today, It was breezy so it wasn't that hot outside. It did sprinkle a little here and there. Other than that, it was sunny. I did as much as I could today before the sun came down. After church tomorrow morning, I'll switch out the string attachment and put on the blade to cut the thicker brush and grass. It shouldn't take more than an hour, maybe two to get all the bush cutting done.

There are seven trees that I plan to fell this next week. I want to at least fell two tomorrow after morning celebration. Then one tree a day, thereafter. That will help open up those areas to allow sun light to get to the ground.

Once that's done, I'll get my seeds in the ground. Still have lots to do before that even happens.
