Our youngest daughter JB (short for June Bug) has no fear. She holds snakes without question and will try nearly anything. But her boyfriend? Well...They were at the local apple festival today and had the opportunity to hold some exotic birds. Somebody is loving the experience, and somebody is...
For me, tonight, it's Blackfoot. Always been a fan of the Southern Rock genre. Highway Song is one of my favorites, Train, Train isn't bad either. Marshall Tucker Band with Fire on the Mountain and Take the Highway fit nicely as well; of course Heard It in A Love Song is always a good tune.
I...
I'm in. Doesn't look to be in bad shape, but does need some upgrading, especially in the kitchen. I also noticed some slippage of the vinyl flooring in one pic. There is also one room with a bed in it that could use a false ceiling and some insulation.
Many members of the current reigning political party would love to use this as another excuse for “tighter gun control”. The real answer is to promote concealed carry. Most citizens are not rabid killers. If more people carried guns in a responsible manner, idiots like this wouldn't get off as...
Dew and I have had both Duroc and Landrace feeders. The only difference I noticed was the length of the ribs, and a slightly darker meat in the Durocs. The Durocs did get heavier in the shoulders too. The Landrace made for bigger and longer rib racks. Weight gain was about 3-4 pounds a day for both.
I love my coffee!!! I only have 2 cups every morning, but they are good cups. I prefer either Sumatra or Colombian, freshly ground. I like my coffee very dark and heavy. If I can dip a teaspoon of it and see the bottom of the spoon, it's too weak. My friends and family who happen to be here for...
I hate Windows Update. I always turn automatic updates off. Windows has a bad habit of trying to update everything at once and doesn't always install updates in an order that is conducive to good computer behavior. This is especially true if the machine hasn't been updated in awhile. It is...
Thanks everybody. She looks like a cross between Dew and my sister...not a bad combination, I must say. Those years do go by fast @journey11 . Everybody else sees a lovely young woman, but I still see a second grader! I swear just last summer I was pushing her on the swing because her feet...
In another thread Dew posted something about the local high school band. A question was asked about uniforms. Here is our little JB in uniform:
I still can't believe she's a sophomore. She already has a date for homecoming! :barnie
I hope you figure out the turkey problem. Sorry to hear about your losses. We have a small flock of wild turkeys living on and around the property. There used to be six of them but for the last few weeks I've seen only four. There was an older jake hanging with them this past spring, so maybe...
Depending on where she is, scraggly cottontails and jack-rabbits.
BTW, congrats on getting internet again Bay. I guess I can put the crayons away now ;)

Latest update:
Another milestone is nearly here. I started on the new electrical service today; well actually yesterday when I started digging the ditch for the new service entrance cable. The ditch is dug and much of the new conduit is ran. I also set the post and mounted the meter base and...
