Got my dad's hunting shack put up last weekend. Missed a few days of rut hunting, but wanted to give the deer a couple weeks to get used to it.

Ladder wasn't up when I took the pics.Nice. But, where are the steps?
I have a few large maple trees in the yard and in the fall there's 3 rounds of leaf cleanup. I got home this afternoon and the woman had already raked several large piles. I got the chipper/mulcher out and started to feed it. This little feller was laying on the edge of the pile. Almost didn't see him.
Sometimes a corn snake will fool you. I put him out in the field to hunt down some mice.

The rain has stopped and the fog has given us a perfect Friday the 13th evening. Looking for hitchhikers as we speak
How's that joke go..... about the hitch hiker asking if you are worried about picking up a serial killer?
We're getting pounded off and on. Winds n Rain. BRING IT 2020!

Something in the lines of surely there isn’t two serial killers in this small area maybe the one?
It’s
Him, aren’t you afraid I could be a serial killer
You, what are the odds there are 2 serial killers in one vehicle
We've had sun, snow and freezing rain in the last 24 hours. You guys are probably tired of seeing the same mountain, but watching it change entertains me while I'm house bound.

Ummm, thats not a hand gun.
Just saying.
Nice buck. I am jealous. The farm I hunt in Ohio asked me not to come this year cuz the virus. They are both in their late 70's and have had cancer and other physical co-morbidities. They don't want anyone around for a while.

Nice view to start the day.....
The cold weather set up for the fire pit. It helps reflect the heat to keep the woman warm. She's a true southern girl. Below 70 and it's freezing!!
Miss Lori is cold blooded as hell. A little fresh air work outside (days are getting short), a good meal, and it’s lights out for her by the stove.
Nice morning on Friday to true out the 260 at 775 yards. Barrel is speeding up a bit. Today was wind and drizzle with showers. Tomorrow’s forecast, wind gusts to 50 mph.
104 F here today and summer still over two weeks away.....
Dry lightening lit a few more today but all under control now. Yesterday kids set fire to a haystack about 1/2 mile from home, got a fair bit of smoke from that....
Don't think so, they look more like the types of bird that you boil for two hours with a rock in the pot, then eat the rock......
Little venting.
Tuesday my son 4 got sent home from school. His mom took him to the doctor that day. She text me says he has croup and will be out 3-5 days. Says nothing about COVID-19.
I have him Wednesday and Thursday he’s with my parents that just got over COVID when I’m at work. Friday I’m at work and get a text that my son is positive for covid. I get sent home till I get a negative test I’ll be paid. My wife gets sent home for 14 days not paid. I talk with my parents since he’s with them at that time.
We decided it’s best for them to keep him. So my weekend with my son I don’t get to see him at all.
If I have a positive test my wife has to miss 28days of work no pay.
So everyone is pissed at my ex. For being stupid. My son’s class at school is on 14 day shut down.
Friday when I got home it was shower and deer stand to try to calm down. Saturday was way to windy to hunt. Today I go get tested. Monday I’m hunting.
Most importantly my boy you can’t even tell he’s sick just a cough in the morning and evening.
House is getting appraised Tuesday he just asked that we have masks on and stay outside as he looks it over. Hopefully it’s hits 165k or more. They won’t count the 80 ac. It sits on I think that’s BS. So I’m stressed.
You boys keep posting the good pictures
@Geno C. your boys ready for deer season?
@1J04 come get the 4 squirrels by my stand oh and the opossum

That’s a tough stoke of crap. The Rona shit needs to end for everyone’s sake. We need to like we’ve had a virus before and get on with life.
Cash is ready. Been doing most practice with the 22 but have got plenty of rounds through the 300blk as well.
Buzz doesn’t really have the hunting bug. He’s getting to the age where chasing a different kind of tail is on his mind.

@Bryan W M , Sounds like you are getting it from all sides; the Covid 19 bs is completely out of control. My son had to finally close hid brew pub because of it. I'll be praying for you and your family.
I don't understand the appraisel not considering the 80 ac that goes with your house; in many places, that might be worth more than the house. Maybe it will be added seperately? Is it seperate on your property tax statement? I'd look for another appraiser.

It’s separate house is on one ac. The rest is ag. Land on taxes.
Since the house is now hopefully worth enough to refinance I’ll be going from 4.25 arm loan to 2.875 fixed. Really nervous.
I bought the land for 124k on a 20 year at 4.65 then the divorce I had to refinance to pay her the 10k they said I owed her. I had paid cash for the basement of the house and had planned to add the upstairs. So when I got divorced I added the upstairs and took out a bigger loan. If I sold house and land right now I’d walk away with 180-200k cash. But no banks or credit union will loan on that value it’s completely stupid.
Hope that makes since.
@Geno C. tell that boy that tail is dangerous

Changed tables. Same rifle. Same ammo. Same rests. Wind today - variable in this valley. Paused for as low wind as I could.

A VERY rare view for me. Not just a new rifle, or a new scope, but a complete new “system.” I picked up one of the last new AXMCs left for sale. It is in my favorite cartridge (338NM) but is useless to me at 20”. I already have a 27” Sage Green 338NM barrel on order to replace the one on my other AXMC when it goes, so I picked up a black 27” 338LM barrel for this one, and while I was at it, a 26” 6.5CM barrel, .308 bolt body and mag, SB PMII 5-25, and Spuhr, along with a TBAC 338BA brake.
Ummm, someone bent your bolt handle. I'll PM you my address and send you the shipping fees. I'll get that straightened out for you, no problem.

The demon horse is growing fast. She is 4 months old already.

Danged if you ain’t right! Thanks for pointing that out. But, I’ve got a couple of pipe wrenches, a propane torch, and a hammer. Is this gooder?

Thanks. I believe my youngest would keep her in the house if we let her!
Heh! You just brought back fond memories of my old heading horse. He'd come look in the kitchen window after breakfast because he knew Mom always saved him a biscuit. She'd open the kitchen door and he'd step riiiight up to the threshold and lean into the breakfast room as far as he could without stepping over the line (head nearly over the table). He'd look around at us and wish us a fine day as he munched his biscuit (or three). I sure miss that dude.

@vh20 they definitely have unique personalities. The barn where this one is currently housed is like walking around the world and meeting many different people.
I've always had sore knees, and over the years really did nothing to prevent damage. Getting bucked off motorcycles and horses, kicked by beeves of all sizes, leading a mostly physical lifestyle all contributed to knee damage.
So it came as no surprise in 2012 I needed replacements. Something call a bilateral partial knee replacement was installed. Basically, the inside half if both knees were replaced with steel and plastic. 90 days of intense rehab, back to work. However, the inflammation never really went away, always carried some fluid in the joint, and it never went away. Indeed, over the years it started getting worse.
Fast forward to 10/2020. One evening the right knee started to stiffen up, and swell. Really swell!. Went to the local ER, got a hand full of painkillers. Made arrangements to see my ortho surgeon ASAP. Saw him 4 days later, he drew off 80 cc's of blood and put me in the rotation for a full knee replacement. Had that installed yesterday, got home about a hour ago.
I think it's pretty sexy myself. Plan is let this heal, get some mobility and strength back then do the left knee. Right now mobility is great with only a cane, start rehab in a couple of days. Way better shape this time than 2012.
It has been a year here at my casa.
