Did some 22 shooting off the tank trap couple days ago
The saga continues… Took out the back window(s) in our bedroom to install a slider/door so we have direct access to the new private patio we created with the detached garage/casita build.
Nice view of the gaping hole in our wall right now!

Finish line for this piece of the build is in sight! Still need to grout/putty along the floor in front of the slider, and some touch up paint, and iron the curtains, LoL, but yeah…nice to have our bedroom back!
…and yes, I know they’re hung a bit too high. They wound up being 111” long vs. the 108” we ordered, and we also used rings vs. the built-in tabs, so it was either hem the curtains, or hang ‘em higher.
Less work this way, and still looks good.

Leach field #2 (heh, see what I did there?) went in today while I was at work. Honestly wasn’t expecting any progress today, so it was a nice surprise!

Timing belt, water pump, plugs, wires, belts, oil change.
The brother in law picked it up for 500 bucks. It needed a timing belt, so just cleaned it up some while we had it apart.

Finally got a nice couple days, so off to the high country. Wife and I.....and the dog, 8ish miles round trip.
Full moon......didn't stay up late enough to get it overhead.
The brown clown.....just had his 9th birthday.

Giant ant mounds in WV. Last few weeks as a research forester before transferring to a national forest close to home.
A week ago Monday, I was taking the old Ski-Doo up to the dealer for the recall. (Apparently some people have been experiencing broken skis)
Call the dealer and find out that they can’t let me repair it (probably because Bombardier pays them to make the repair and god for I’d they miss out on the $15 of labor it would cost them to change it out.)
I had the sled on the trailer and pulled out the drive way. I had just pulled onto the street when I realized I had forgot to hook up the trailer lights.
I pulled over and got out. When I did, I stepped into a pothole the size f a god damn cast iron skillet and totaled out my ankle. She rolled over like Lassie beggin for a steak.
So I back the trailer back into the driveway and head into the house.
My daughter (RN in training) said I should probably go in and have it looked at.
So my boy runs me up to the urgent care. They take X-rays and tell me it isn’t broken but it’s sprained.
50% of the top of my foot is bruised, going up into the toes, and both sides around the heel.
Doc says to stay off it, keep it elevated and use ice.
“Yeah, ok doc. Whatever you say.”/sarcasm
Anywho.
I’ve been hobbling around for the last ten days.
Last night after a double pour of Angel’s Envy I thought Doc may be right.
Got back to the hotel after a healthy intake of ribeye and got a ziploc bag from the lady at the front desk. Filled it 1/4 of the way with ice and headed to the room.
Laid down in the bed with the ice on the old foot and passed the fuck out. I haven’t slept that hard in years!
Now I’m back home and doing the ice thing again in hopes I can walk normal tomorrow.
And the old girl in the background has a stomache thing going on and sounds like she’s gonna shit at any minute. But, she’s sleeping through it.

They've gotten very brave. Just waiting for this one to come lay down here.
Sprained mine the first time on a trampoline when I was 14. A freedom fighter guy from Cuba that was living in the barn loft made ambulance noises and rubbed some homemade stuff on it. It swelled up like big ol ball. In broken English he said it looked like a mango. That was what he called me from that day on, “mango”
It hurt worse than broken arms. I’ve rolled it a few times since then, not fun! You have my sympathy.

Taking the 7-08 out for its test ride today. She done good
Yeah, it sucks. Slowed me down a bit but not completely so I can’t complain too much.
Another great day at the in-laws
Is a great day Bryan. I'd rather wrestle with the Sheep, no, not democRATS, the real Sheep, than wrestle with media stuck in flash holes.

Iffin he gets close enough, I’ll have it to stuff and sit next to the bobcat. He was about 290 yards away from me with that pictureThere goes the neighborhood !!

Got a friend that lives on the Buffalo River. He owns 5 acres that had an Armadillo invasion few years ago. He bitched about them constantly screwing his ground up.
Borrowed some old school night vision nods and I declared war on them.…hard at it for a few days. Rode up to show off my kill (12) and he jumped my ass for shooting them
. WTF ??Walked in his cabin and saw two stuffed bob cats above the fireplace on the mantel that HE had shot.
Soooo it was OK for him to shoot 2 cats a mile off his land , but I get my ass ate out for eradicating his Dillos on his land
My turn to chew his ass out . Then I got all his friends
to rag him constantly for a few weeks
Not saying I wouldn’t have shot one if I had that option. My handle became Dillo One on the all Coms , still use it
He will always be known as Cat Killer Slim up there.Pisses him off bad when people call him that

If you ever head this way , I know people that know the people
Jasper is unique . My friend lives at the confluence of the Buffalo and the Little Buffalo. Some times the high water covers low water bridges. If you don’t time it right.
3 options when you go visit your only neighbor.
1. Have a 4X4 , drive down and cross the bank up to the cabin , probably eat & drink. going to backtrack home. Best option
2. See if the swinging bridge is swinging , Dress right , get across , party , hit the swing bridge over fast water at night drinking moonshine
what could go wrong there eh ?And 3. Depending on water levels ….if you drive to each other’s Cabin there’s two ways , one has to drive about 25 miles and takes a hour to get to the house approx 30 yds away. other route is longer. You can wave and holler to people across the River when you arrive…BUT no easy way to visit If things get squirrley ?
Mom Nature scores !!
If it wasn’t for poisonous snakes , chiggers , ticks , stingers of all sorts , tornados , meth heads etc… I’d think it was Heaven.
One of the most beautiful places that I’ve ever been , plan on staying close

Same here, I miss it a lot of days. Grew up there and still visit once or twice a year so mom can slap me back in line. Sometimes we get out and ride the Bajas and SxS around the Dover area. Every once in a blue moon, there is a small convoy of bugs and rails runnin down the road. Spent more than my fair share creek hopping and getting lost finding my way.If you ever head this way , I know people that know the people

That’s beautiful !
Older I get , the more solitude i want ! Nothing like being a hermit or antisocial bum , just NEED peace and quiet. Always been that way , too old to change.
Ever get close to Yell County holler ! Lots of bikes on Mt Nebo today , thought it was Sunday .
I hate snow! We don't get a bunch of it like a lotta you, and I'm fine with that.
I don't see any steel on that little square of white over yonder.
I know. Only reason ehy is I don't have a rangefinder to range it. I can get up there, but I'm not certain shooting over roads n homes is gonna be ok with muh neighbors.
