RC how large is the “play” area? I wish I owned some property...... about 10 acres would be nice.......
Click to expand...

12 acres.
A drain snakes through one corner ( like a slow creek) and is tied to a big swamp and farmlands.
The big swamp and drain( s) are a corridor for game critters.
About 3 acres is good and dry ,high-ish.( should perk test alright) Much of the low ground is tag alders. But a mix of trees beyond.
Most of my activity has been on the high ground with the tractor.
Planted what will be a screen of miscanthus grass last year.
Have fifty Norway spruce seedlings coming when weather allows better handling.
Soil ,stone,rocks I piled up in places plowing snow need dealt with first.

Really enjoy froggin around there. Good for my soul.
Lots of work at home though too.
I use the " property" for hunting visits as an incentive to get yardwork done here. Only a couple weeks behind.....
Some times I just sneak over to visit.

These poor little white pines were deer browsed the previous winter. This winter a buck rubbed bark of them with it's antlers getting frisky. He won't again ,but other bucks are around at times . I could fence the trees ,but ....will more likely add some rubbing posts and licking branches instead and see what happens.
The open area the trees are in I brush hog now and then and deer browse in it. Otherwise it would be three foot or more of eye pokers .
Lots of goldenrod ,so I leave some areas of the dryer site un-mowed.

Drives me nuts!
The logistics of rehabbing this house again to prep it for sale is sobering....And moving my ladyfriend and mines 's junk. I'm happy here at the end of a private dirt road with woods on two sides.

A beautiful site though on the property.. Dirt road ,one lane bridge over drain..
Taxes are much more reasonable on a homestead than on vacant land.
Were I a rich man ,a home would already be under construction. Just the thought of having one wheelchair friendly is enough.
It's only ten miles away ,so it gets visited often.
A home on it would change it's feature of happy critterville. Would not end it by any means ,but would not look as young or innocent.

I'll try to find some trail cam pics...Ooops ,added tractor pic again. Enough squintin at tiny pics!

Got the 5 pounds of foreign coins yesterday.
I spread them out on a tray and my eye immediately caught this...

1817 one cent 001.JPG 1817 one cent 002.JPG

1817.

Of course I ordered another 5 pounds!

Best,

Scott
 

I better get to sorting the other 4.9759916 pounds of coins before the next 5 pound shipment arrives.....

Looks like quite a nice mixture.
Certainly it will add to my swapping stock with folks worldwide to get what I want.

I'll provide a list of the countries that were obtained when I'm finished with "Round 1."

Yeah, I may get even more.....

Y'all Be Well!

Best,

Scott

Hey 2GF,

How's that "Treasure Hunt" with the grandson coming along?

I also got some obvious cast replicas in the foreign shipment.
A couple have "COPY" on them.
(The second on the top row and the second on the bottom row)

I can send you a couple-three to add to the "Booty" if it's not too late....

Let me know.

Best Wishes, Brother!

Scott

PS.
I've also got about 100 more Authentic Spanish coins from the 1500-1600's coming soon.
From the Reign of Carlos II, and/or Philipe II
Probably later this week....

I can send some that are "uncleaned" (encrusted with 400 year old dirt) if you like...
An opportunity to spend time together cleaning them.
I'll provide my secret to cleaning them when I send them.
IF you are interested....

I know that it is late, but I thought the following was amusing....

While walking towards "C" dock, on the other end of the warehouse,
looking to bring back a couple of jacks to feed on the chargers,
I felt a presence following me....

I turned and went down "C" aisle.
After a few steps, I felt the presence closing in....
I stopped after rounding "D" aisle and confronted the force that I felt following me.

A selector, whom I didn't know, stopped to thank me for replacing the handle and wiring in the Raymond jack that he rides.
I bumped fists with him and said, "Brother, I'm here to make you your money. Just let me know if you need my help."

He said, "We know who to find, my friend."

I thought about it for a moment, and came to the conclusion that I am their Friend!

RIDE ON, MAKE MONEY, MY FRIENDS!



But...Be Safe!

I have just realized that in less than 6 months, I can repair any issue on a Crown 4000 or 4500 Jack.
And it pays well!


Friends, before this job, I had no idea what a Crown jack even was.
And I now also know of Raymond Jacks.

Have I mentioned that I'm a "Quick Learner?"

The plan is for this Sunday for Marsha, Shannon and I to go shooting.
Marsha has a .380 auto, and a .9 mm.
Shannon has an AR and several mags.
Me?
Just my .9mm, a .22 bolt and a .410.

Perhaps I can borrow my Landlords .45 wheel, the .357 auto and his Grandfather's .38 colt.

The weather should be agreeable.....
If no one else can make the scene, I'll still go...

And Be stuck in the middle....

Here is a mild idea of this song.


A different idea?

Here you go.
Don't complain 'cause you can't deal with it....



I've seen similar. And worse.....
I know the smell of burning flesh.
You may not.
Let's call it even, shall we?

Some movies cause my bad dreams.
This is one.....

Diesel: You can do my house next.

Scotty: A "Crown Jack," is that a shot of Crown Royal with a Jack Daniels chaser?

Joke of the day — The following was overheard at a recent "high society" party.

"My ancestry goes back all the way to Alexander the Great," said Christine.

She then turned to Miriam and asked, "How far back does your family go?"

"I don't know," replied Miriam, "All of our records were lost in the flood."
 

Here is the vanity mostly built. Need to get more supplies, but I’m really just tinkering a few minutes at a time...waiting for baby!

Momma is due Home tomorrow. She’s been gone a week. I guess I better start cleaning........
