Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[chipper1]

Just havin' a little harmless fun. The last wild turkey I ate was harvested with a Ford LTD station wagon.

Me too .
The last wild turkey I ate, I actually drank . Wow, that was a while ago, guess I'm not getting any younger!

It's light and my kids can use it. The recoil is nonexistent. I could load a pretty potent 1 1/4 oz 12 ga that wouldn't kick much but the gun still weighs 7.5 lbs.

Yes, they can be light! As I recall the .410 SxS I posted is under 5 lbs…

My nephew kills a turkey every year with a .410 Contender pistol, rolls them right over.

I won't even shoot one anymore.

Jerk pork steaks and riblets, garlic and herb pork steaks, creamy cheesy bacon
broccoli casserole, and roasted asparagus was on the menu tonight.

Making quiche with some of the asparagus tomorrow morning.

The Stevens 555 .410 o/u is 5.5lbs. Great grouse gun. They grow big up here.

Wow, that is big.
We don't even have "Great Grouse " over here .
Found this in my barn this morning. Making them our state bird is like making a Canadian goose our state bird, at least many of them stick around the whole yr.

Went to the neighbors and got the cherry all cleaned up.

Told him we were going to clean up the front yard cleaned up as there was a bunch of smaller stuff and a few larger branches too. He said no, leave the stuff in the front yard, I want to get it with my new 12" electric saw(I think it's a battery saw) lol.
So I asked if there was anything else he needed, he said he wanted this little elm removed, so I dropped it and we cleaned it all up. That's not totally true, my wife and youngest daughter had it all branches cleaned up, so I was only able to move one piece round off the stump, because the boy grabbed all the stem pieces. Darn it .

Found some wood I’m gonna scrounge

Not sure what it is, I’ll post a picture when I go grab it with the truck

Daughter and I stumbled upon it when we went to enjoy this beautiful weather we had today

 

[chipper1]

Dang, the inside of your barn is really nice! TV, fireplace!!

It's "great" . I brought it inside to show the kids, my daughter took the picture.
I do have a fridge for the barn .
It was nice being able to just fire up the compressor and blow off the saws out there today. Can't wait to get the shop room finished and the carpet installed .
Just talked to a guy I got the windows on the south side of the building from today. I was perusing Craigslist and saw a nice John deere tractor, when I clicked on the ad I thought this looks familiar lol. Called him and maybe next week I'll head up there, he has a frost free hydrant I'd like to buy, but we need to settle on a price yet. I plan on installing one in the barn, whether I get this particular one or not. He also has a good length of pex hose, he needs to check the length and I need to check the exact length I need. Hopefully it will work out for both of us.

Saw my first woodchuck of the season this morning running across the pasture. NO GUN!! Running in a straight line. No zig-zagging.

I think you need a double barrel nitro express just in case it charges!

So, I’m more of a “need to see the leaf” to identify the tree

All the more experienced guys, what do you thin these are?

Municipality just left the pile on the side the road near my pals house

Probably 1/4mile from my house

Alright guys, y'all gotta edju-macate me.
A friend of a friend showed up with 2 each fired rounds of 4 different calibers. Had me drill out the primer and tap the hole 5/16 NF

We were both kinda short on time. So he left em, I did the work and left em in his front door. What the heck is he doing? Some kind of match shooting?
Something about setting the precise depth of the bullet into the casing, to just engage the rifling? Something like that.

Making snap-caps?

Buckets we got yesterday.
There was one more, but I didn't get a picture of it so I guess that one didn't happen. Also brought the log over to Robs, hopefully he can make something nice out of it.

Looks like hard/sugar maple, ash, beech, mulberry.
Nice score. Looks like more that could come down in the first picture right next to the river.

Locust...

Sunburst locust to be exact.
