We're having some farinata for supper basically an Italian chickpea/garbanzo bean flour pancake. I've whipped up a salad from the garden veggies, tomatoes, cukes and some green onion and added some pitted black olives and salad dressing.

Maybe some feta cheese for added protein.

Dave I went out detecting this morning on a new 35acre permission. (The corner lot down the road where you got the 2cent piece.)
Did the fields in 1hr flat. Now I know I can keep up to your speed detecting. Horse shoe, broken rein guide and hay equipment parts.
The farmer that told me about the stone Mason foundation, must be in the poplar trees.

Never believe a farmer.

Yesterday was a PM afternoon start for some reason other than wet gravel first thing in the morning is poor value.
The wood chip provider phoned up asking for $$$ or loose the pile to another company.
So off I went to lay some dosh in the palm of the guy. Secured 10 dump truck loads, and I hope he's on the up and up as I just heard an hour later that somebody bought 3 loads a month ago and still are waiting for delivery. Though this is different as I have my own trucking arranged, so Saturday 5 of the 10 loads will be delivered.

Had to get the concrete saw tuned up before I got into the task of cutting down the catchment drain in the corner of the driveway/yard, it's one like you see on the street corner.
Not the easiest task of the day, as we couldn't excavate deeper around the basin, because on the intake drain.
So 40-5" segment cuts pretty well took care of the cutting.
The wire mesh was a pain to deal with, but the diamond blade ate right through it. 3 hrs of cutting, chiseling, hammering the lid can be placed back on top this morning.

Never believe a farmer.

Some know their land like the back of the hand. Some know squat about anything they own-like the new permission I was on yesterday (I own it-but never walked it).
No indication on the historical maps that there was a house there, but that is only a small segment of historical recording. The historical mapping of buildings never included pre existing structures recorded in the atlas.
So I'm banking on the knowledge of the other permission, as she described the foundation very well.
Then again she might be daft.......

Good morning. It turns out I did get a good deal on it.

Tiger Soligen made two styles of that bayonet; the long version and the short version. The short version was privately purchased by German Wehrmacht or Luftwaffe NCO's.I have the short version.

I agree with your above statement Jim... "Some know their land like the back of the hand. Some know squat about anything they own".

The majority of the farmers I've approached over the years have amazing knowledge of every hill, dip and turn on their farm land, but they're often surprised when I tell them there used to be a structure on it.

Most farmers have one thing in common though, they're usually interested to learn the past history of their properties and they're all concerned about the loss of prime farmland to urban sprawl.



Good morning Bill & Ethan.
