Maggie’s What's Your View II

From what I understand in talking to the owner, they have to harvest the crop to qualify for Prentive Plant. They will turn in the scale tickets to FSA to determine how much payment they will receive. Yes. it's taxpayer funded. Such is the cost of having the best food source on the planet.
Really wanted to see this last year but it was on one of the many roads that were closed when we got stuck in Portland.
Bad rock under a new window. Cut it out..
Make a patch..
Mud and screw it in.
Used hot mix 45, will be ready for texture and paint by 2pm. A little slice of my day.

I hear ya. No more evergreens on the hit list, but definitely some Alders are gonna go. ?
Sitting with Rebecca and Cherry in the back yard. Burning some pallet cuttings so I can get more oak into the wood cradle.
I won't faulting them for doing it for the insurance. I just figured that was the case cause it would be quicker and cheaper to bushhog the ruined crop than to harvest for next to nothing.
I'm certain if they could mow or burn it they would. However, it's the way the system works. Wear out the machines for little or no gain. Sucks.
As a young boy I would see the worry on my grandfather's face harvest time when the news was bad weather.
Playing with a new Breach. No signs of life tonight.
My good sir 1J04, removing trees will not remedy this problem. The rodents will just regroup, re-think the problem and go forth with a new line of attack. There is only one solution; massive amounts of firepower.
We will have to cancel plans for a party at Mother Tuckers and instead convene at your 10-20. There will be a large group of un- desirables heading in mass to your location bearing large numbers of arms and vast amounts of ammunition. We will expect, of course, room and board for the duration of the altercation, adult beverages included. Considering the quality of the attendees, don't cheap out on the beverages. Only the good stuff, please. And lots of it.
While this group is enroute it would behoove you to start preparations for the assault. Defensive positions (in case the rodents call in reinfircements), fortified firing positions and elevated shooting platforms for the snipers. Lots an lots of those. Don't hesitate to hire earthmoving equipment to fulfill these requirements.
When preparations are complete please send hand written invitations to all the attendees. Nothing flowery, just a simple reminder with the date, address and GPS coordinates for those of us who are flying in or can't read roadmaps.
We await your call.
I think I'm gonna introduce Honey Badgers to the area. I got this!?
Any country Southern boy around 10 y/o with a 22 rifle, pocket full of CB's and a pocketknife could have the situation resolved by the time the water got to boilin. I'll supply the rifle, CB's and kid. Y'all supply the beer.
I was raised in IA, across the state from tnichols and that was sure the case for me and most of my friends too.
My grandad liked to talk about growing up poor and needing to return game for each round issued.
Think that story became popular after my oldest brother saved up and got his first 10/22. Dumping 10 rounds in a hurry seems like a fun idea after years of shooting a single shot or pump Winchester. Grandad wondered how that was useful.
He wasnt thinking about Zombies or the Boog.... just about money spent and how did rapid less accurate fire really help.

My dad had to account for every cartridge/shell. My great uncle gave me a nylon 66 when I was a kid. His instruction was "that pow-pow-pow ain't worth a shit". I did plenty of pow-pow-pow though. :-D
Beer for the kid? You mtn people get started young.
Kids get beer.
Men get shine.
What rock you live under? ?

Got home this evening after a wonderful meal out. The Misses is flippin’ channels in the gun room and found the Highwaymen on IPTV. I knew every song . I’m getting old ...
Slowly but Shirley, all wood is up, ready for metal on the ends and then machine production to get this mess making us money.
We put overhead door up yesterday.

A lot of work, knowing you did the majority of it alone (I know the feeling), it’s coming along nice and looks great. ??
When our daughter was about 8, she grabbed my glass of Johnny Walker Black and took a long pull of it, thinking it was apple juice. It happened so fast, the wife and I didn't have a chance to wave her off. Man, she was unhappy the rest of the day.
I took this after I finished this morning. With our neck of the woods looking sepia tone this time of year, on a bigger screen you can
possibly see the steel. 760 and 1K in line with the barrel, 695 to the right a bit. Breezy here, needing 2.5-2.7 mils of wind at 1K with the 260.
a couple of good friends really helped me out through a couple stages that gave me a boost.
3 cheers for good friends
My latest purchase that I did not need but it was a hellllllll of a deal! Shot the 308 on 3.08

Shooting museum update. These arrived in the mail last week.
Thank you Mr. Tnichols, very much appreciated, wonderful additions.
Finally have a spot to display a bit of family history
Hopkins Allen .32 rimfire. The story, as told by Dad, is Grandpa H. came home from town toting this thing with the intent of using it to kill slaughter beef. When that day arrived he loaded up and took aim at the animals forehead, right between the eyes. He pulled the trigger and the bullet ricocheted off, hit the barn roof and most likely stayed there. The beeve was well pissed off and quite a ruckus ensued.
Grandpa H. never shot it again. From that day hence it was a .22 LR, which I witnessed several times. Never failed.

We were scouting around for a new spot since things change around here. We still gotta find a good 1800-2000 yd spot nearby. I've always loved looking at your spot and am envious!
Thanks, it is kinda' handy. Kitchen is about 8' to the right of the rifle

Shooting must have been on the brain for everyone today. Drug the 22 out for 75 and 100 yd. just played with transitions and dialing changes. Only a half mil dial but still forces me to move my hands and get reset
My .22 range with me n the kid is still snowed in.....
Almost finished with the .22 AR upper,
Another 4-6 weeks till we can run up there after church and burn through a few boxes.
Today was church, skateboarding (new skateboard for the birthday), lunch, more skateboarding, quick trip to LGS to pick up a transfer, and more skateboarding. 4 hrs of skateboarding total......
Kid is killin it, getting up after some rough crashes and getting right back on it. Makin pops proud!!
