Here’s the front yard looking out from the house, with some included candy. It’s a shame, because as Charlotte has grown, it has taken us in. We live inside the city limits, but still have horses cows and goats. Wish the goats were from Pontiac, but maybe one day. Used to have a 300 yard range at the house, but being in the city has taken care of that. Overall it could be worse.
Sean Tucker's in town practicing at a small field near my daughter's farm actually over one of her bean fields.
I hadn’t no, but that’s a good idea. Even a Mark II or III without the bull barrel would work too. Or, he could grow for Pete’s sake ?Have you looked into the ruger LCRx? When Buzz was looking at pistols this early summer he really like the way it fit his hand and it was stupid light! He's 11 and built like a bean pole
Getting old sucks. I feel like I was in a fight and got my ass kicked, but it was just this pergola for the last two days...

I’ve still got maybe a full day to finish it....
Just like the name tag, it’s a 502 cubic inch motor. Big cam, hookers, etc.. runs pretty strong when I can get it out. Black on black cars in the Carolinas in July can be brutally hot. I’m just getting old and soft. Thanks for the compliments.Dude, that’s a sweet ride! Nothing better than American muscle and no substitute for cubic inch displacement? Balanced and blue printed 350?
I got bit a few times on the sides of my hands. One was big enough to bleed some.Looks great Fig! We’re you able to dodge the dreaded treated wood splinters?
Send him up here for a couple weeks! He might not be much bigger, but I assure you he'll be stronger ?I hadn’t no, but that’s a good idea. Even a Mark II or III without the bull barrel would work too. Or, he could grow for Pete’s sake ?

80lbs?!!! Shit!! Buzz is 90 and could hide in a sign pole shadowThat little runt wouldn’t be able to hang. I drag him up to my dads every year for second and third cut hay baling. He try’s hard but there is only so much to get out of 80lbs of boy.

I was out at the lake last weekend and while trimming some trees I must have stepped on a hornet’s nest. I got stung five times before I realized what was happening, and then five more running away. Those week old hornet stings still itch like hell (especially on the back of my knee and ankle), and bother me more than the splinters.
It was the weight that was killin me. I don’t remember everything being so heavy.
My wife also started criticizing before the first post was even up. I drew it all out, she had total design control, ordered all the lumber, and the second I start building she starts complaining and wanting to change things. That said, now that I’m starting to add all the joists (don’t know what you call them on a pergola) she seems very happy with it, which is obviously the only reason anyone builds a pergola...
Channel cat. Seasoned just right to make the beer go down like water.

Very nice. Brother, I wanna come n play in your back yard. Beautiful set up man.
Fig, that's a bitch of a job if you're doing it by yourself. Invite us over and we can swim in your pool and give you advice and tell you what a great job you're doing.
You're all welcome to come over any time. BYOB and I’ll bbq. More supervision and criticism is exactly what I need. Lol
I'll post more pics when it's done.
View attachment 6922803Splinters like this should be avoided. Had to have Dr assistance to get this one out. It was in my hand/finger just like the picture. Nothing left to grab so they had to open up my hand a bit to get a hold of it.

Hey, that's my signature dive....
Sanding an edge without gloves... we tried to cut it out but got a little deeper than I was comfortable with for my weak side trigger finger.

Not sure if they would have helped on that fence post but they sure work on the tiny metal/fiberglass buggers.
Do all your fingers have over developed biceps?
That actually looks like they would work pretty sweet?

We had a storm like that last June come through our neighborhood. 15" of rain over 3 days and then 75mph winds. Blew over tons of trees. Wife and I blasted home to clean up overnight since we were still on the road. Everyone in the hood worked together to get it all cleaned up.In the early am of 7/8/18 severe storms and winds crossed Upper Dakota West to East. My home town got hit really hard, gusts of 90 MPH. Lots of damage and hundreds of trees broken and blown over.
The folks farm is 2.5 miles east of town. Dad said they had lots of tree branches on the ground but no building damage. Whew! The Child bride and I showed up Friday nite, this is typical of about 15 locations across the farm yard.

This last weekend we had a family work clean up day. 3 daughters, 2 boyfriends, 2 cooks, 2 neighbors, 1 super (Dad) and me. Neighbors, who also rent the tillable land, showed up with a big beautiful John Deere MFD complete with loader and grapple and a 2 ton GMC with a huge gravel box.
Chainsaws started a 8 am, by 4:30 PM we were cracking Buds. 5 loads of branches to the landfill. There was some redneck engineering and a couple of almost scary moments, but we got 90% of the mess. 4 of us spent Sunday morning raking up a few bucket loads of sticks and twigs, done done.

Front to back: 16" 025, 18" MS251, 20" 391. I'd just bought the 391 two weeks ago. Running store bought 94 octane mix with chipper chains. Between the three we went through most of 2 gals of fuel. Helluva a day. Yeah, the 391 bar is upside down, we were in a hurry.
We had some fun tooView attachment 6922898
Daughter #4's boyfriend breaking in his new Savage .22. When my girls drag a young man into my life, I check them out real close. If they are determined to be keepers, they get a Savage .22. On to the grandkids.
