Had some visitors stop by...
But for some reason they didn't want to stay around for dinner.

Using a personal day and working on load development. Not sure about my technique or the load combo.
@Mike Casselton
You NAILED IT! Remington 700 Classic in 221 Fireball. Working up loads using all Copper. It has the 35g Hammer running at 3754 fps.
. It looks like the grouping problem is ME!

Do deer have triplets? Mama and three babies making their way across the front yard…
…maybe twins and an ‘adopted’ herd mate? All three are definitely all the same size/age.

Literally, a Superior sunset view, brought to you from Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula.

You might want to step outside tonight. From the light polluted skies of SW Michigan.

Just a few from northern British Columbia
The eye doesn't pick it up anywhere near as good as the camera though. Can just barely see some color with the naked eye

Twins are more common than triplets. Supposedly a doe that has twins will almost always have twins. I have a doe that has had triplets two years in a row
My wife got similar pics way down here in central La. I don't have any of them available to post since they're on her phone. First time I've ever actually seen the lights. You could just barely see a slight pink tinge to the sky with your eyes, but through the camera it showed up very plainly.
Shotgun related...quail hunting in S GA. Ah, I'm the tubby old guy in the background! haha
This was from last year. They didn't burn this part of the plantation hence the too high/thick brush.
I go at least twice every year cause I love upland shooting and love the dogs working. I'll be back down there again twice this year and next year it will be three times as a young lady (daughter of great friends) wants to go and she has her own gun and been hunting pheasants. I think the quail will challenge her and I always try to support young people and shooting/hunting sports.

Nice, wanted to get in some NC Dove season with my Dad and Brother, but life just got in the way this year.

First season sucked for me here. The weather just didn’t play nice. Usually we have birds fly by all day, not this year.
A couple sunrise pics from a job I finished up last week at a pipeline pump station. Quite literally "out in the middle of nowhere."
The landscape was beautiful. And the terrain would have made for fabulous long range shooting.
Other than those small positives, the job sucked out loud. Hated every minute of it.

Why would a snake need firewood?
How does he carry it?
Is it stacked after cutting, or does it get rolled away?
How does he get the fire lit?
Yeah, we've had some odd weather for sure. Better luck to both of us next year!!

Actually pretty excited about this… The VA finally opened up an ortho clinic in my town, so I no longer have to make the 1.5 hour drive each direction to the nearest VA hospital for my knee injections.
Trying to hold off as long as possible on the knee replacement that’s inevitable at this point. Already had it scoped twice, but it’s still a mess in there.

Looked at trying to get some pictures, but we have had a heavy smoke inversion here right now.

I did my last set a few months ago. They have stopped working for me, surgery is my next stop. Dont want round two on the left knee, and not in a hurry to start the right one either.Actually pretty excited about this… The VA finally opened up an ortho clinic in my town, so I no longer have to make the 1.5 hour drive each direction to the nearest VA hospital for my knee injections.

I had both knees replaced at age 48. Cortisone and synovial fluid shots weren’t working. All I can say is don’t put it off too long. Sadly, you won’t have the knees of a 20 year old, but the pain will be gone. You will feel so much better.Actually pretty excited about this… The VA finally opened up an ortho clinic in my town, so I no longer have to make the 1.5 hour drive each direction to the nearest VA hospital for my knee injections.

I cant answer those questions because i gave him that whole area and i went further down the road to cut my own firewood.

Fair enough.
I suppose it's like a headless guy wanting a hat. You don't ask him why, you just sell him the hat.
Our neighbor’s semi-feral tom that’s taken to having dinner on our porch every night finally got to meet our two (fixed!) female rescue kitties:
It has been an usually dry and warm harvest season this year. The beans came off fast and dry with the corn crop right behind the beans, even overlapping in some areas.
The bean pile is about 200 yards long, I don't know how wide. Lotsa beans.
This is the little corn pile on the west end of the beans. Below is the big corn pile.
Here the crew is getting ready to start another corn pile on the east end. It takes a big generator to power that conveyor.
They main house must be totally full, waiting on a 120 car uni train. On an average day there's 10 to 18 trucks in various stages of dumping starting at 7am till 8pm, all day long. This operation is a half mile from the family farmstead.
Modern farming.

Well, a lot smaller scale than that bean pile (!) but my lift is finally going in. Very exciting day for me!

The wiff cut some pumpkins last night I guess
A bit more clearance under the new lift for the track car vs the truck. 
Will ne troubleshooting a transmission sensor; $0.06 part that Porsche wants $25K to fix…they will only swap out the entire PDK transmission, and not simply replace/ repair the defective part. Found an aftermarket part that’s actually better than the one ZF uses in this transmission, but will need to crack the trans case to get to it if it is indeed kaput.
I love having this lift though.
Winter project #3 behind the engine (cam phasers, again) and transmission (C/D/F drum shot) R&R in my truck.

Last weekend at a Local Pumpkin Patch where our Scout Troop had a food booth.
Sunday we had a cloud burst about 1300 hours that gave us about 3/4” in half an hour, afterwards….

Well, not the way I planned to spend my Saturday… Daughter-in-law backed into her mom’s car this morning as she was leaving for the gym; of course she (DIL’s mom) is trading in her car on Monday 
Had to pull the under tray, and both front wheels to remove the wheel well liners, so we could repair as much of the damage as possible… fog light pushed back, one of the parking sensors pushed in, and the one that was the biggest pain in the ass, the rubber hose/line that feeds the headlight washers was cut, and was spewing washer fluid everywhere.
…we also went over everything since we were under the car, and cleaned up 85K miles worth of road grime, etc. I will say, for a bougie, rather high maintenance trophy bride, she wasn’t afraid to jump in and literally get her hands dirty to help me fix what we could…a pleasant surprise!

This guy was putting in an addition in the tree next to me

New garage/shop one step closer to … well, not completion. Maybe more useable…
The lift got a workout today…. Oil change, plus transmission/diff/gearbox fluids.
A few little metal flakes on the inside of the oil filter after I cut it open, but not worried; also sent a sample off to Blackstone just to be sure.
Drained the PDK/automated clutch side, as well as both sides of the manual gearbox and diff before dropping the pan.
And new transmission pan, because Porsche wants $450 for a plastic one that’s not reusable. Just did the $250 cast pan that’s the same size as stock vs. the $1300 deep sump billet model from LN, but this one is metal and at least has a replaceable filter element.
And despite what you pervs have been watching on porntube, this is what almost $300 of tranny fluid actually looks like, LoL
