    Semi-live NOT a deer hunt

    What an intense and wildly successful day. We got 4 trusses installed today and a few purlins to tie it all together. We have three trusses remaining. It was a bit chaotic at times but overall it went well. Scooting along on the trusses to weld the higher up purlins is pretty intense.

    Semi-live NOT a deer hunt

    Well I have officially transfered jobsites. We finished getting all the truss halves tacked together and the motorcycle truck came to pick up the generator and take it to the other job. All the Malagasy were dying laughing at me and the missionary riding in the back with all the tools. It was so...

    Semi-live NOT a deer hunt

    A very nice Sunday here in Madagascar. I love preaching more than just about anything else, and to get the opportunity to do it over here was great. It was definitely a big adjustment to do it with phrase-for-phrase translation, but I think it went well. After church we had lunch and then went...

    Semi-live NOT a deer hunt

    Forgot to mention that yesterday we also got to go help out at the English class they do every Friday night. Each of us shared a little about our life and then helped the students with some of their classwork. It was a neat experience. Land cruiser spring is on the way from the capital...

    Semi-live NOT a deer hunt

    For sure. We still got one and a half trusses welded up though. 2 full trusses remain and then we start installing them. Riding in the little three wheeled taxi to come back for lunch was pretty neat.

    Semi-live NOT a deer hunt

    It's only 0830 here and we are having a full on Africa experience today. Power is out so we are trying to figure out getting a 400v three phase connection on the generator converted to 230 so we have a second generator connection for both welders. Leaf spring is broken on the land cruiser so...

    Semi-live NOT a deer hunt

    More of the same today. Material stack is getting shorter. Tomorrow we will get a truck to take the trusses we have done from where we are welding to where the building is going up. Then the real fun begins when we have to weld stuff in position. Hedgehog is still hanging out too.

    Semi-live NOT a deer hunt

    First day of real work is going well. We have 7 total trusses to do and are just about finished with the first one. We've mostly got our machines figured out and running well. The other crew has the columns leveled and are close to installing top plates for us to join the trusses to. We are...

    Semi-live NOT a deer hunt

    We have arrived at the town we are working in. We had breakfast with our friends this morning and then they took us to the building site to introduce us to the crew that will be helping us and to go over the plans for the trip. It's definitely a vastly different place than the US. Looking...

    Semi-live NOT a deer hunt

    We landed in the capital about an hour and a half ago. We are settled in our room for the night and have a 0600 flight to the north end of the island where we will finally start working. Not sure how effective I'll be at updating since I'm relying on both the cell service here and a VPN to be...

    Semi-live NOT a deer hunt

    Well, this weekend was archery opener at home in NC. Instead of hunting though, I'm sitting at the gate in Dulles waiting for a flight to Turkey. After a 10 hour layover in Turkey, our crew of 4 guys will fly into Madagascar where about a month of work is going to get stuffed into 8 days. Some...

    High Fence or Free Range?

    I want the fence to be so high that Snoop Dogg is jealous

    Sh*t our kids do

    The other day I noticed the boy (3) was running around with no pants on and his shirt looked like it had water on it. I figured he had peed in his pants and asked about it and he said he didn't. Then I noticed that his legs were shiny. I backtracked him and found the Vaseline open in the...

    2024 College Football 🏈 Season starts tomorrow…. Yee Yee

    Listening to Bama on the radio. Excited to see (well, hear, I guess) the offense that Kalen DeBoer has cooked up.

    Plate ‘em up

    Well, things didn't go exactly to plan but that's why I wanted to test this. One of the problems with cooking bone-in meat with an immersion circulator is that the bones will release air and cause the bag to puff up. I knew this was a possibility so I checked on the short ribs at the 12 hour...

    Plate ‘em up

    This is part 1 since this cook will take so long, but I figured I'd give context. Our church takes a men's fishing trip to OBX every year, I've been heading it up for a few years now and we've turned the Friday night of the trip into a nice dinner for everyone. Last year we did some double cut...

    Metalworking Hunttalkers!

    Finally getting things back to normal. Boss is back full time now and the sanitary work has picked back up as all the plants just had inspections. Made some covers last week and replaced a valve in a steam line today.

    LGS/Range Stories

    I was at a wildlife commission range not too long before deer season. There were a fair number of people there so just about all the lanes were full. A spot on the end opens up and this guy and his buddy go down and get set up. He pulls a shotgun out. We go cold so he can go set a target up at...

    NFA Wait Times

    That's what I'm hoping.

    NFA Wait Times

    Squirrels beware, I dipped my toe in the NFA world for the first time today. Gun shop had a silencerco sparrow on the shelf so I filled out the paperwork. Gun shop said they're seeing stuff take around a month. We'll see. I went the individual route.
