    Snake gaiters or Regular gaiters in snake country

    The whole upper body thing is a myth. Most snakebite’s are when people inadvertently step on or near one.

    2024 Turkey Season!

    My season opened yesterday. I couldn’t take off work, but after an early dinner I told the kids to grab their stuff, we’re going turkey hunting. An hour in we saw two toms come over a hill a few hundred yards away. It took a half hour of calling but they eventually made it to our decoys and only...

    2024 Garden!

    Seeing the first signs of life from the asparagus crowns I planted a few weeks ago. Now I just need to be patient for a couple more years. After checking in the garden we ate a quick meal and I told the kids to throw on their tick-treated clothes, we’re going turkey hunting. I popped up the...

    2024 Garden!

    My daughter and I got most of ours in on Sunday. We still need to do beets, peppers, tomatoes, and watermelon as things warm up. Sweet corn rows will be staggered 10 days apart. A major bonus is that morels have been popping up all around the garden. Enough for a few feasts.

    2024 Garden!

    Planted asparagus crowns a few weeks ago. I’m crossing my fingers for those but not getting my hopes up. I was hoping to do a prescribed burn tonight but it looks like I’ll be short on help so I think it’ll be time for my daughter and I to get some seeds in the ground in our garden. I have...

    Tinder/Hinge/dating apps in general

    I married a horse girl. She’s none of those things but, nevertheless, your warning should be heeded. After working all day today, I get to go home and haul horse crap. Next weekend I get to spend the equivalent of a NR elk tag on hay. I get to load it on a trailer, haul it, unload it, and stack...

    2024 Garden!

    My daughter (1st grade) made a list of the vegetables we’ll be planting and crossed them off as I laid them out on my plan. About 5 hours working this morning and I had the tiller running great. Tilled up the garden this afternoon. I’m really happy with the soil I found. I’ll till in some old...

    Wolves in Nevada???

    I spend a ton of time in northern MN where the wolf population is probably more dense than anywhere else in the country. It’s a better place because of it. Neat to see them expanding into their traditional range in other areas, as well.

    2024 Garden!

    For the last year, every time my daughter finds a seed of any type in her food, she goes and digs a hole in my new lawn to plant it. I caved a few weeks ago and agreed to start a garden for her, if for anything just to keep her from destroying my yard. I’m currently resurrecting an old tiller...

    DIY silnylon

    I’ve made a few tarps out of silnylon. They turned out pretty decent considering my lack of sewing experience.

    Public School Woes

    I have a first grader and preschooler, both in the public school. I can’t say one bad thing about it. The teachers and staff have been nothing short of amazing. The problem I see is the parents that complain constantly about the public schools and then vote down every referendum that comes...

    The Big Snip - How bad is it?

    The worst part (the anticipation) is over. Now take it as easy as possible for as many days as you can and you’ll be set. If you really want a trip, try a kidney stone for your next visit to the urologist. It’s life-changing.

    Who bought this?

    The voices in my head were speechless after reading that. I don’t think that’s ever happened to me.

    The Big Snip - How bad is it?

    Until my dying day, I’ll never forget the feeling of that second needle going in. It felt like they tried to rip the kidneys out of my stomach via my nuts. The doc struggled with the machine that does the cauterizing and no nurse was present. My wife was there and said “we use that same machine...

    2024 AZ credit card hit

    No hit for me. After almost 1-1/2 decades I should have known better than to get my hopes up. This year stings a bit. I wanted it bad. Oh well. Maybe next year.
