Sunday Pic of the Day

Hopefully not by hand.

Had a thrower on the baler but yah put it all on the barn by hand. That was my side hobby when I was 18 to around 27. What an idiot.

We were small scale New England. Snatch them off the ground and throw them on a 2 ton flatbed, then shuttle in to the barn to stack.
The barn was a 200 year old post and beam about three stories tall. Great hide aways up in those hay stakes for the random frolic. Maybe that is what I remember liking about the whole process.

Yes sir, cutting hay through the night always made a good excuse to call up for a beer delivery and a rendezvous as well.

May not look like much of a picture to most folk, but a loft full of hay means a weekend well spent and a lot of sleepless nights averted.

It also means my arms get a bit ripped up, but a lot better than last night.View attachment 226786

Great Father’s Day here as well. Me my son and another helper pounded out 900 bales today.finally getting some hay weather.got more laying for tomorrow and then wait before cutting more as the rain moves back in

Reminds me off my youth...pitching hay bales. Hot, sweaty, flies, forearms like yours, cold beer. I enjoyed it for some reason.

I despised pitching bales. Of course, that was before I developed a taste for cold beer. Maybe that would have helped improve my haying experience.

So the kids wanted to head down to the neighborhood pond to catch some fish after dinner tonight and we hooked into this big fella. One of these times I’m going to cook one of them up.

We’ve had our share of river time the last couple of weeks.

Looks like Oscar (Moosie) sneaking up on a candy bar in T-Bones camp!

PM float today.

It's a day late but just got this picture a few minutes ago. Our animals are starting to come back. Hopefully the stinking lions don't kill them all.

Barge puts up quite the swell when plowing upstream on the Tanana River.

 

[Irrelevant]

A very un-scenic Sunday hike. And there were even two other cars at the TH. Too much snow up high to get into the mts, and it's coming off too fast to put the kids on the water. Stuck in that middle zone. But hey, at least there were zero bugs in the burn. And the burn mosaic was actually rather pretty.

Our SIL...I agree

i just keep breaking my own rules and randy's own rules. i can't seem to stop. i (literally) keep diggin myself deeper. i haven't done anything besides working on my backyard landscaping with every spare hour for nearly 3-4 weeks straight now (i've hardly had any spare hours to begin with). i finish sprinkler system, and edging, and rock, nearly ready for grass and path building, BUT then i go and say "hey i've got an idea, let's put a goddamn 130 square foot paver patio over there for all the grills and chit"

someone please drive over here, smack (punch) me in the face, teach (force) me to use angie's list and let me do something else again with my life.



if you'd seen the quotes we got for all this crap you understand why the decision was made for me tho

Told my father years ago, " Just because you had and idea, doesn't mean you have to follow through with it!".

i wish someone had just smacked at the mention of "paver patio"

A couple of my father's favorite sayings were, "the day doesn't end till midnight" and "you can rest when you're done". At least that's what I remember during our few conversations.

My wife tells me “you can sleep when you’re dead”:

Not sure if that’s encouraging me to work hard or her wish.
