Loopy situation here. You can see the nearest of the bushfires near us, mebbe 10km down the road. Only ticking over, not raging ATM. But at the same time we are expecting snow on the hills for the next four days starting tomorrow arvo. But there may not be enough precipitation to put out the fires so after it snows on them, they'll continue heading our way. :wtf:

I see that all too frequently on eye 29 between Platte City and St. Joseph.

Logs or old tractors for loads mostly.

Twenty year old maypops didn’t cut the mustard.

And, when they did make it to the veneer mill in Joetown they would be sent packing with their yard trees. [emoji2960]
 
Been very windy here the last couple of days, glad we are not in a fire zone, cause you would never be able to stop it with these winds!

Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.
It’s going to keep coming too Mike. Been super windy almost every day for the last three weeks.

I guess we were blessed because there was a south wind on Sunday when my neighbors house went up as it blew the debris out onto the lake rather than at my house.
 
We get a break until 8pm. I went out early and cleaned out the driveway with the tractor n bucket. Ready for the next round but going to look at that F-350 later. Had to order oil filters for the tractor they should be in today. Ordered Wednesday.

Hope so because I dropped the oil out of it yesterday while it was warm yet. Thought I had 1 left for it and I did but it's been sitting around so long in the box sealed in plastic wrap that the screen inside rusted out.
 
We are expecting a snow storm tomorrow through Sunday. Anywhere from 3-18 inches predicted but the worst of it looks to hit central MN. They can have it LOL.

Looks like I’ll need to break out the plow as my neighbor who lost his house usually did the neighbors place as well as the road.
Some of us are hoping it stays in west central. At least this east central guys got hope.
 
Pecan pie! The best there is. No argument will ever sway me.

and of course, you are right pan... each bite so tasty... deli - ishish! one bite and begs you, implores you, requires you... to take another.

same when piece in front of you gone, too! lol

hope everyone had a swell Thanksgiving Day and dinner... family and friends. this lil guy was waiting for some TGD scraps... a sweet lil Elkhound pup... I mean... awaiting... they actually live to await next meal or treat... lol... none coming and he just fell asleep...

In NY, you are generally not allowed to hunt Bear with dogs or with bait, so getting one is usually just "happenstance".

You rarely see them, unless you take your wife up to go Mtn Bike riding, then a large one runs right in front of your vehicle, down your driveway, making her terrified to get out of the car and ride the bike. Only convinced her it was safe when I showed her I had the 40 Glock with me!

and when one gets you, happenstance! yikes... :eek: neighbor got in middle of two of its rescue dogs fighting. one bit, punctured wounds to leg. ouch! reminded me of that bear pix... dining on man's lower leg. not pretty! :nofunny:

here, too! pine needles used to be in trees. now all over my lawn. :nofunny: what once was green is now tannish brown. work ahead! ~
 
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Took the Grandsons to see Ford/Ferrari today. Good flick, but they leave a lot out. On NETFLIX, they have some more detailed (and accurate) stories about Shelby and the Ford/Ferrari saga. I found it interesting they focused so much on keeping the RPMs (of the 427/7 Liter) within 7,000 RPM, I used to shift all my FE big blocks at 6,800 RPM. (I had 390s, a 428 and 427). Remember, there was no synthetic oil back then, a 24 hour race was a huge endurance feat.

I only built one BB I would take to 7 grand. a reacher motor, all the right goodies and low gears and a light car... under 2,000 #s.

that beast :blob2: would hit 7 G's at will... lol
 
Happy thanksgiving! Just watching breakfast at the bird buffet. Grabbing to go dinner later from the community turkey dinner then tonight my wife is cooking a prime rib View attachment 776260

nice pix! frozen lake makes it, imo. I am sure also... all that chow made it, too! the day. :D
