Maggie’s What's Your View II

[roostercogburn98]

Went to Osage and got some veggies. Stopped at Cullpepper's salvage. Found some stuff to make a new dinner table.

Didn't show up prepared to haul.

Long morning. Ate early. Hope you men are having a great weekend.

Nothing cooks like cast iron. I got one my grandmother gave me when I left home 22 years ago. My best cooking pan

 

[roostercogburn98]

Today was a feel good day. The bug moved under its own power. Put about 35 miles on it

The picture doesn't do it justice at all. This is Kings Ravine just after we climbed it, one of the toughest climbs on the East Coast.

Stopped for lunch looking back over the ravine before climbing the next 2 peaks Mt Adams then Mt Madison.

This is Mt Washington, you can see the auto road in the picture. I raced my bike up it last summer about this time of year. Gotta do that race again!

Looking at Mt Madison.

One of the many stream crossing on the way out.

 

[tnichols]

Graduation in July. Better late than never I guess. You fellas with little ones, enjoy every minute. She grew up and I got old in a blink of an eye.

Heading up North Conway, way, soon. Great area.

Great photo man.
Congrats on the grad

 

[SCRAM2013]

Thanks guys, appreciate the thoughts. Biggest problem at the moment is trying to deal with things by phone, she was 2000 miles away, no direct flights, 3 day drive and state borders closed.

Mr. barneybdb,

My condolences to you and your family.

When is the dove hunt?

When is the dove hunt?

It's actually a deer and turkey plot. The sunn hemp and sunflowers are to create stalks for climbing varieties of soybeans and peas.
I had no idea it was going to be this beautiful.

A friend was gonna burn this cool bird house. Couldn't let that happen.

 

[1J04]

Making good headway on the shop project. 6 more bags of R21 and we should be good with the insulation on the reloading room. Then we Sheetrock.

 

[DarnYankeeUSMC]

That's a great looking bird house/squirrel feeder.
It's definitely not something for the burn pile. Great snag for you.

I thought it was pretty cool. Can't believe she wanted to burn the damn thing. Must have been tired staring at it I guess.

Tired of squirrels chewing on things they shouldn't.

When is the squirrel hunting?

Watched the storms roll in after the elr match at Spearpoint in Kansas.

Blue racer we always called them growing up

 

[SCRAM2013]

Garlic is done and bagged. Right at 15# net.

Most will last until November 2020 when planting begins in zone 7. Do it all again.

Blue racer we always called them growing up

We had blue racers/coachwhip snakes growing up in Arkansas, but these looked different and weren’t so territorial. Got this one way back in the nowhere of Ft. Lewis one year.

 

[Waorani]

Garter snake.

 

[Buckley]

The wife and I put in about 14 miles yesterday. At one break had this little guy land on the toe of my boot and chill for about 5 minutes.

Finished our day by climbing up to Kelly Butte fire lookout(right edge of middle pic) to spend the night. It was a new moon night and the stars where amazing! Great views of Neowise comet through the binoculars but we didn’t have sufficient camera power to capture any pictures to share.

Used the drive to the trail head to scout for long range opportunities, saw a couple that could be promising. Now I need to research how to get to them.

 

[1J04]

@1J04 or any other Washingtontonian. What the hell is the proper term for these sneks View attachment 7378239

Yep, just as @Waorani said, Garter Snake is what we've always called them.

 

[Threadcutter308]

sounds like Waoroni and Jimmy are saying it’s a Garter. Could be, I’m colorblind, years since I’ve seen one and never saw one that big.....

good news is that none of the sneks on the westside are poisonous.

 

[roostercogburn98]

Interesting for sure. I’ve always wondered what they were, and ran across that picture other day. Seemed like we found bunches of those things on an HLZ we were using for some training. Thanks for the input fellas.

It’s the West side barking spiders you gotta be real careful with.........I hear there’s a shit ton of ‘em down the Naselle way.......

 

[roostercogburn98]

Pretty sure we had the Southern version in Arkansas.

Probably near a den site.

If you’re at all interested in elr and can make the trip; Spearpoint ranch in Barnard KS is an awesome place to shoot

Nails are too long.

Been doing this for some four decades and it's never happened until today.
Mounted the red dot on the new Saint Victor and went to the pond to start making adjustments.
Took aim on a rock at waters edge at 50 yards and Poof!
Stretched it out to the steel at 150 and ding!
It may need a click when the weather's better and I go to paper, but it's fine for the truck gun and traffic blockers right now.

 

[Steel head]

One of my happy places.

 

[SCRAM2013]

I was going to check tomatoes before the big eye gave up but...

Apple blueberry???
Yummy!!!!

 

[pmclaine]

It sure is! Are you hiking up there? I love the White Mountains.

We will probably do a small hike....Arethusa Falls, maybe Black Cap, something just to get the kids some air.

Id like an ass kicker hike but the fams is kind of lame on that stuff these days. My daughter did ask about hiking Washington, which I would love to do, but she wouldnt make it a third of the way up before complaining.

Big on the schedule is swimming at "Second Iron Bridge" in Bartlett.

If you havent been to the big cool pool on the Saco its a spot you should visit.

If you bring a mask, not a stupid Covid one....a swim mask, and the trout are in the pool you will be amazed by some nice rainbows.

Thompson House Eatery in Jackson will be on the schedule for a great meal, if on the expensive side, looking forward to trying their version of a Manhattan.

 

[pmclaine]

A beach replay today. Same as last Sunday, 90 plus temps and cool, clean, salt water.....

Mayor of Gloucester MA wanted to shut the beach parking down this weekend to residents only. I guess people in Gloucester are covid immune and it outsiders that bring it in. This beach is in Rockport but the parking for it is in Gloucester. The lawyer for the owner of the parking lot had the mayor of Gloucester eat a dick.

Good reading material to bask in the sun...

My beach was much nicer than Iwo's.

@1J04

Package inbound. Very nice looking young lady asks "what's in the package?" I told her "dirty underwear". Everyone in the joint laughed except her. I told her next day. She said $110. I told her dirty underwear isn't worth $110.

So you get second class...I mean day hope it shows in good condition.
