Thanks for posting that pic. Helps me tie a loose end together... The pic I posted was a warm day...in January! No kidding.

The "crop" of deer chow has come in nicely for us this year. Three plots along a powerline ROW. This pic is from the top and about 190yds from where the blind will be tucked in to the upper left of the frame.

What does a cash strapped 10yo get his dad for Father's Day...



His little brother calls it a "dinger"! Big Brother hit his second home run of the year on Father's Day morning. Thanks son!

The only, very small dark cloud, on the day was that Grandpa Rickey (my father) never got to see him (them) play baseball. Big Brother is the catcher, throws right, and hits left with power, just like Grandpa did...

Baseball weekend for us as well. Tournament in Columbia Mo, and we learned during the tournament that my oldest son made all state as an infielder as a freshman. Kinda proud, he acted like all district wasn't that big of deal but smiled big when we told him about all State. I love baseball. This was his summer traveling team this weekend.

All-State as a freshman is super! Big congrats to the young man. Looks like he can bring the heat as well!

Father in Law with a grayling. Coming from Northern Michigan, grayling are a fabled species, long lost to poor water quality and habitat degradation. He's blown away at how callously we treat brook trout as well.

1 Pointer, that is "dinger form" on that swing for sure.

So after I finished building this scaffold, I stood back and thought, "Thats quite a feat of engineering"......shortly after that my wife walked out and said, "Could ya get any more redneck than that?"

Nice to have a wife that is willing to climb up and do the "not fun" work!!

It's pretty impressive how high level the instruction he has received as part of a community based baseball team. 'Course most all left handed hitters have a prettier swing, and I know I'm biased, but for a 10yo he's got a good looking stroke.

Not as solid on his front side, but a good sequence of pics...

I've used the ladder in the back of the pick up method many times working on steep metal roofs. Works great! Probably the worst fight I've ever had with my wife was when she helped me hang drywall!

I've taught my wife that it is best if she just lets me work in peace. She keeps the kids away with busy work and I go to work fixing/building everything. The first few weeks of our basement finish was almost divorce quality arguments.

I put a standing seam concealed fastener metal roof on my house I built. Did everything myself. They make these overshoes that look like sandals. Go on over your shoes. Had a foam pad that velcros to them Stuck like glue. Worth every penny. Even when it was raining they worked great. 6/12 pitch isnt terribly steep. But steep enough.

Good to know, have some projects coming up that will definitely justify a trial of a pair.
