Ponds too low to fish so snapper control with the 455
Shingles to match the rest of the roof.

Caught a couple of pics this morning before the run:

We were attending a Memorial Day charity event for the Montgomery County Humane Society at a park just a couple of miles from Wright-Patterson AFB when we spotted what could only be some sort of collaboration between Nissan and the Air Force on the next generation Warthog. Must have vertical landing and takeoff capability. Impressive !!!

The plan was to be in Nashville this weekend, but plans get changed. Still, being home has its own rewards.
Wax on, wax off...
The Child Bride's ride. 2014 Ford Edge Limited, AWD. We run it through car washes during winter, but the scum still builds up. Today was a sponge bath and wax. 95K, 3.5L, a nice sedate vehicle for a almost middle aged couple. Heavy with thick doors and enough power to blow by a 18 wheeler on interstate. Beginning to pick up some road chips and minor dings, planning on getting 125K before trading.
High grade tires, fresh battery and proper care keeps it ticking and me from worrying when Child Bride hits the road. Due for a drive chain check next month.
Ignore the red POS and shack in the background, neighbor.

Little Marcy is the guard dog. She half the size of our older one who is super lazy and laid back. She'll sit there at his feet and watch tv with him. But if someone comes into the trailer that doesn't belong, she goes ape shit!
I’ve been busier than a one legged man in a shit kickin’ contest this last week with several good views to post, but I’ve ran out of gas or clock to to get them up. However, I would be remiss to not take the time to post these on this Memorial Day weekend. Small town cemetery 8 miles to the south does this every year. Thank you to all that have served. We drove through it twice today as we passed for various errands and such. Each flag has a tiny plaque dedicated to a local veteran. I’ve not counted them for a number, but it’s a fair amount. Mechanicsville Iowa...
^^^^ Looks just like where I grew up a few hours west of you. They do the same thing with the beautiful flags.
God bless all those who served!

Saw a golden tipped sow and a cub just above Yellowstone Lake inside the park. They were too far away to get a cell phone pic. This sow and two cubs were right off the road about 5 miles outside of the park. I realize pic isn't the greatest but cell phones just aren't made very well for those reach out photos. 5 grizzlies in a day is a record for me.
View from camp Friday. Weather took a significant turn for the worse around 4 on Saturday.
We only run WI. Cover pretty much the whole state. For us to run out of state it would mean extra registration fees and inspector fees and it would change they designation of our DOT number; a bunch more headaches. We have plenty of work here for what we do.
Yesterday, doing a little dirt clod extermination.
Working on a Kate Brown Bumper sticker for the the upcoming gubernatorial election here in Oregon.
Menzies mountain look out, Vancouver Island, BC
From late last week. We had a little time one afternoon before another ballgame and Ty wanted to shoot. Nice day and a stiff breeze at 3 o’clock. He’s shooting little steel targets at 100 yards with the 10/22. He’s doing well with all the steel down and I ask him what he’s on next. He says he’s going for a 10” plate that’s bladed to us, so it’s a half inch wide target. Breaks the shot and he calls a hit. I’m not on a spotter and grumpy old dad calls BS. Go for a walk and I’ll be damned he centered it up! He hit it several more times after the pic, with a miss here and there.
You are very fortunate and blessed, Sir !..........
Ran down to the Main Line last week for an appointment and had Mexican among the Brahmins. The truck cuts a wide swath through the herds of Lexi and Range Rovers.
Alambre de tinga:
Last Saturday night, after busting our asses all day beating back four weeks' worth of rain-fed vegetation passing for yard/s, a cross-country burger run:
Our goal:
I had "The Stag," with sweet tater fries: https://theburgerycompany.com/menu
The missus didn't quite appreciate my observation that what was lacking across the street was either a massage or a tattoo parlor.

Looks good Geno, watch out for the darn skeeters!
Tnichols, your pics have me wishing I was living back home. Room to move and shoot a little. I can be pretty happy shooting .22s for a long time.....
From last Saturday. Took my girlfriend and her two kids rafting. My little one was camping elsewhere with her grandpa so just the 4 of us. 91 degrees and sunny make the Colorado snowmelt feel pretty good splashing on you.
Watch out for the guide, I hear he is an ornery bugger......

Went camping/fishing last week/weekend. About a dozen trout in two days. I catch and release though.
The res is about 15-20 feet low. You're looking directly over the Air Force Academy out in the distance. This reservoir feeds the Academy and Colorado Springs. Water temp was about 33* and an elevation over 9,000 feet.

It's the may flies that really get bad at this spot. They get so thick the clog up the a/c and the radiator on our generator
Hi,

Theis

I only post the fun half of my life (home), the other half is similar to yours ?
Pic taken the following morning. By a rough estimate, her fuel pump ran dry in less than 10 feet ?
Little Chute Cheese Fest this week. About 20 mins north of Oshkosh. Will be on the north side of Milwaukee next week.
Sunrise over Grandpap's farm/house, he built everything but the house:
In this neck of the woods we say shoulder high by the 4th of july.
Over knee high.
It was mildly late getting it in as well.

Yep, genetic crossings have come a long way in my time.
Around here given "normal" conditions april 10th would see completion by many.
This year was later by 2 weeks at least.
Several large crews- 15k, 20k, 50k and 75k acres went 24hrs/day.
A fleet of 24 row planters can knock out the acreage.
R
Yup, they wanted the tonnage. Nearly all of this close to us will go to silage as well. Several large feeders in this area.
Yep, we used to put up 40 acres a year.
Not many cattle left to feed any more.
All max yield based now.
300 is the new 200.

~85 used to be a good year for dryland corn around early 90's, at least it was for the little bit we grew for feed. That was picked corn, milled. Several passes with a tractor to get it in too. Either a moldboard plow or cutting harrow (depending), smoothing harrow, planter, atrazine, culitvate/sidedress, 24D with drop tubes. I know enough about farming to know I better stick to what I'm doing. :-D
