Maggie’s What's Your View II

I agree about the 5” gutters. We’ve had some extremely heavy rains over the last couple of years and it does overwhelm the gutters. That little section is never a problem though.
That window was a nice touch. It’s on the north side of our bedroom. Jamie’s treadmill is right there so see can look out.

moon rise night before last right before dark
What are the specs on that rifle? Beautiful area you’re in!
Putting in trail to access a new area up in the mountains behind our place. Fighting through the alder thickets right now. Lots of frost build up on them.
I like them pretty well. They’re slow, and the rear tracks struggle climbing over logs that are perpendicular to your path. Other than that, they’re great for early season or low snow years . I’m really impressed with where they will go as far as terrain and the traction you get for pulling loads.
Old school wound be cooler but the newer one is more practical
We used to have an old JD 420 dozer on the farm where I grew up along with a nice little 6 way 350. Great machines for small jobs, tight areas, or places requiring a light footprint.
I must admit, when I worked in the logging woods, I much preferred my Cat equipment to my Deere stuff. The Cat equipment was really operator friendly by comparison. Both had good dealer support in my area so that wasn’t a concern.
Probably so. Caught another one this morning. South Texas brush makes them give up.
Meat buck. Looks like it might only be a year and a half old buck. Sucks but season is over tomorrow.
Got to take my son on his first deer hunt today, most of you prolly know how that went. But we had a blast. Hope there will be many more to come.
Just an FN TSR XP, 300 WSM factory barrel yet, McMillan Game Warden, Vortex AMG in ARC M10 rings.
Shooting 200 ELDX about 2810 with RL-16, could go faster but it was just too accurate to not hunt with it.
Yes beautiful country indeed! Too bad it's time to head home!
After a beautiful day in The Crazies watching some nice elk and a couple fantastic Mule Deer it's time to head home...
I’m having something similar put together right now. M70 Classic SS 30-06, Game Warden Stock, #4 Bartlien 1-10, CDI bottom metal, topped with either a NXS 2.5-10x32 mil/mil or a NXS F1 3.5-15x50 mil/mil.
Great combo! I love the CDI bottom metal on mine as well. I'm thinking of having the factory tube replaced with a 3b Bartlein or Proof Sendero, but it shoots so well I don't know if there is any point...
My 338 factory barrel is that way for what I need out of it. Even though I’m a full grain under max and at 22”, it still reaches out to right about 500 yards with sufficient velocity for proper/reliable bullet expansion. At that distance I’m still able to hold sub MOA reliably so I didn’t see that point in rebarreling that one. The ‘06 on the other hand was reeeeeaaaaalllllyyy sllloooooowww and although it grouped well, it had to go.
NE Kansas, taking my son back to his mom normally takes 20-25 minutes today 55, drive home after 25 today 55 but one hell of a sunset.
I have 5 miles on gravel it runs east west. A few good drifts. Driveway sucked got the Subaru turned around to head back out. Well an hour later getting ready to head to work. 2 hours earlier than normal. Driveway drifted more. The truck is sideways and up to the bumpers yes I know I need weight in the bed.... and the Subaru is up to the hood and high centered. I dug trying to get one free used sheets of siding scrap. After 2 hours I gave up. I lose my holiday pay for 2 days.... I'm tired and pissed and will be back at it in the morning.
dang man that sucks. Stuck rigs is a pain in the butt. Glad you were able to be safe dropping your boy off.
Left SW IA yesterday early afternoon to avoid that storm with planned driving home today. We hit part of it near North Platte until CO border and then some more just outside Greeley and then Denver as I headed home.

A maple tree in my front yard. Took this pic this afternoon while my daughter and I were putting up Christmas lights.
Hang in there. Keep being an influence on your son. It all works out in the end. Midwest winters will test a fella for sure.
A little early but this will be part of my view on Saturday night. Will be attending a dinner celebrating the 75th anniversary of the formation of the Royal Australian Air Forces Aircraft Research and Development Unit, a unit that I first joined over 44 years ago. My last tour there was from 1990-1997 prior to retiring from the Air Force in 1998 I am starting to feel old now looking back on all this. Expecting at least a two day hangover from this event. Will try to get some pics on the night for an after action report.

My Sunday was spent burning off stuffing and pie, cleaning up the woodline along some 1600 feet of road frontage. Any overhanging limb or startup sapling that the loppers can handle and I can reach get the snip. It makes the property more aesthetically pleasing (not that it matters to me at all 
) and it gives me the freedom and comfort of mowing straight edges without having my hat knocked off by the branches. I also reworked these areas this Fall - lightly tilled, removed some rocks, and sowed new grass - so I want a little more sunshine there in the Spring.
It's good exercise for the winter months and this is just the first phase. There's some two miles of trails in the woods plus the perimeters and driveways yet to go. After some time for regrowth to fill in it's not even noticeable that anything has been cut, but the edges have a crisp clean line to them that makes the place look nice.

Tucker, when you get all caught up around your place, I’ve got a ton of grounds work to do here. I don’t want you getting bored. Just let me know when you’re ready for a new project. ?
Upgrading my mill. A retiring gunsmith about 2 hours south of my place had it
Details man!
This is important stuff. Tools and firearms need details. As do stories about hunting, drinking, and other unmentioned debauchery. ?

It’s just a small Bridgeport. I found it on accurate shooter. It has the same body as the one I have now. I think they’re 12x36. My old one has a tree head on it instead of the original. While I like the z collets better, they are harder to come by. This one is all original. The guy I bought it from had 2 of them to get rid of. They came out of a tech school before he bought them ages ago. That’s about it really. I bright the forklift to make the job easier.
6.7 ford turbo leaking and using oil. Time to replace it. What a nightmare. At least I get paid by the hour.
You get really good at fixing things when you own a Ford.
I heard the new Fords have a heated tailgate on them now. I asked a guy what the hell that was all about and he said it's so your hand's don't get cold pushing them.
Bullseye13, 2a and 1J04 are gonna whip yer ass!
Whose in on the pool?
I have $10 on Jimmy taking care of business in under 90 seconds without damaging his “tactical banana” he has in his fine basket weave safariland holster. Or mussing his fine and suave hair do..... ?
