Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[chipper1]

Finally got a laser sight for the Ruger 10/22. It's a laser Max and it slides right on after you remove the barrel strap. They claim it is sighted in already for 25 yards. aai took out a empty cat food can and shouldered but did not use the "GI sight" and I hit it just fine. We get night visitors to the chicken coops so a laser sight is great, might even add a side light on the rail. I did have to remove the front sight to get it on. My other rifle with a laser sight is my SKS, just a little bit of over kill for a fox and even with people over a 1/4 mile away don't need to wake them up.

First show with the 68 was a beautiful day finally. Still need to do the hood and put the spare tire mount on . But I managed to put the bumper on last eve for the test fit . Still needs to be tweaked and painted

Does that mobile children coop keep the kids from getting under foot in the house?

Oops, spell check fail, lol. Fixed

Tried to finish up the fixing of the backyard this weekend, not done yet. Most of the 40 tons of topsoil is spread and leveled. Seed tomorrow or Tuesday hopefully. Got my steer yesterday, ribeye tonight!

Did a little saw therapy this evening. Had a broken hickory branch hanging over the driveway since one of the ice storms late this winter. I think the garbage truck may have bumped it on Friday morning (or it was just time to come down since there was no wind.) Anyway, it was now on the driveway so it had to be moved. Not a large stack, but it will make a nice night or two of the good stuff.

My bike. Basket holds a days worth of firewood. Not real good on mountain trails.

Escaped the party for a little bit. Ran down to the lake just long enough to find a little largemouth. He went for a Gary Yamamoto rubber

Good ole 4 spd SM420 or did you use the later SM465? Looks like either a 250 or 292 at a glance.

My wife's first question...did you name it?

 

[singinwoodwackr]

S

I was pretty sore after changing the plugs on the excursion, therefor I earned some screen time .
When I bucked up some of the cherry I had in the trailer Friday I notices that a few of the sticks had branches that were leaving out, I cut that load on February 4th . Pretty amazing, that tree was working on what it needed this spring back then. Trees ain't slackers .

I did a little on the pond/dam yesterday after rototilling at my BIL's. I did more than what the pics show because we had a little rain so it packed it down a little.

Here's a good comparison of what we see from the back windows, in the near yrs we should have a water view and not just sand/dirt lol.
Oh yeah, there's the too be split pile off to the right, it's grown too .

Looking at this last picture reminds me I need to go mow the grass , at least I get to run some equipment . It's a lot greener here now.

So, when do you put up the camo net for the next camera overflight?

Hey boys, had a relatively relaxing evening at work. Everything decided to run decent for a change. Ran our arses off Friday and Saturday night, only thing that really sucks about this time of year is we're closed tomorrow, so I gotta be back in at 6am....
Anyway, hoping we keep in some good weather so I can finish bucking and splitting the dang log pile after work this week. Wife is already saying if the weather is nice we need to run down to her grandmother's house this weekend. Hoping to do her honey do list in one day, but it sounds like it's going to be an all weekend affair... not what I wanted, but thats married life I guess lol. Thinking of that...
@JustJeff congrats on 30 years. Wife and I are together 13 in June and married 8 in August. So about 1/3 of the way there. Hopefully one day I can be saying we're going off into the sunset to enjoy our 30th anniversary too.

Happy wife, Happy life!!
We just returned from a few days on the Oregon coast, celebrating our 50th!

I'm so glad to hear that all of your projects are done and you have time to reminisce over 8 year old posts! LOL

And he didn't even give it a like!

 

[Cowboy254]

I've been busting my behind trying to get the honey do list caught up and I got 12 pages behind! Married 30 years this year so we're taking a vacation to Greece, flying out this evening. Not even going to try and keep up so keep on scrounging!
As an afterthought, the Carolina squat could be handy unloading those big rounds....

Well you'd better put the hard yards in when you get back because there's going to be some hardcore scrounge pics!

(It's just me, everyone else is posting other stuff )

Also, congratulations! We ticked over 20 years last year, only felt like 19!

Right, so I went back to the monster peppermint (now to be known as the Monstromint). Got started here.



And after some 460 action had this



and this



which ended up in this



which from another angle looked like this
